Title: Memoirs: Spirochæth (Trypanosoma) balbianii (Certes) and Spirochæth anodontæ (Keysselitz): their Movements, Structure, and Affinities
Abstract: ABSTRACT There are few more interesting unicellular organisms at present under investigation than those microscopic, yet most active, forms known as Spirochætes, which lie on the borderline between animals and plants. They are, indeed, veritable members of Haeckel’s kingdom Protista, which—from their minute size and attenuate form—are most difficult objects for research. Little is known precisely of their structure, and their affinities are the subject of much discussion; hence the use of the term Protista in the preceding sentence. The wisdom of this classification for avoiding hard and fast lines where such do not naturally exist among the lowliest organisms, has now been recognised, and Schaudinn a few years ago founded a journal (‘Archiv für Protistenkunde’) exclusively devoted to the publication of memoirs on such organisms, including Bacteria. And the study of these forms is of the highest economic importance.
