1. 1 In this brief review it will be impossible to cover all of the many studies on slug migration, and therefore I will stress what I think are the main points concerning the mechanisms of locomotion and orientation. Because of space, reference will only be made to a few key papers which in turn will serve as a source for other references. For work done in my own laboratory I have resorted to the dubious procedure of referring to a collection of our papers: Bonner, J.T (1991) Researches on Cellular Slime Moulds. Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, India.
