Abstract
THE publication of the present volume completes the account of the Protozoa, the other sections of which were dealt with in the second fascicle, which appeared in 1903. An introductory chapter from the pen of the editor is followed by a series of separate treatises by various authors. To Prof. Hickson has fallen the task of dealing with a number of organisms, grouped into the class Proteomyxa, many of which have been seen only once and have been so imperfectly investigated that practically nothing is known of their nuclear condition. The author has given a systematic account of the organisms, which he has arranged into five groups. The structure and life-history of a few of the better-known forms, such as Plasmodiophora brassicae (the cause of “finger and toes” in turnips), are briefly considered.
