All of the species of this order are easily distinguished by the distinctly greenish hue. The peculiar lost appearance of the individuals indicates that a college atmosphere is entirely too strenuous for such slow developing organisms. They have been cultivated so long under hot-house conditions that years will be required to render them hardy enough to stand field culture. In the scale of life they are somewhat in advance of the Myxomycetes. COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Ben. Barrett - Glaucus urchinus Stunted, greenish, extremely clumsy, nearly club-shaped. Habitat, ink bottles and straw stacks. 124
