About This Book

A detailed systematic survey catalogs marine protozoan diversity sampled from algae and nearby waters at Woods Hole during a two-month summer interval. Seventy-two species representing fifty-five genera are recorded, with arranged accounts by major groups (Sarcodina, Mastigophora, Infusoria), notes on habitat distribution, morphological descriptions, figures, and several proposed new species. The work explains collecting limits and methods, adopts a conservative taxonomic approach extending existing European descriptions, and reserves uncertain or insufficiently documented forms for further investigation.
