Notes

The isolation of amoebae from soil and meltwater ponds from several locations on Ross Island and the nearby exposed mainland of Antarctica revealed a variety of non-testate amoeboid forms. Three families of amoeba were represented in the collections: Chaidae, Mayorellidae, and Thecamoebidae. These families included six genera and eight species.
