An Easy one for you
An Easy one for you
This one is about 80u long, swam in a circle and whenever it brushed another, even much smaller protist, it recoiled very smartly. I looked in my resources and bing images but I'm stumped. The closest I came to something similar was Epenardia
Here is what I have
Here is a Epenardia from (protist.i.hosei.ac.jp)

Re: An Easy one for you
If you have a fast connection and lots of hard drive space, you can download this:
https://archive.org/download/in.ernet.d ... y-1918.pdf
178 megabytes. I bought a hard copy many years ago. Your protist is probably in there. The only problem is many organisms have been renamed in the century since this was published. Googling the old obsolete name will often lead to the current one.
But first, let me download it and see if the line drawings in the scanned copy are clear enough to be useful. Will report back shortly.

Re: An Easy one for you
OK, the line drawings are good. This is a good copy. Lots of good info in it, although the relations between the families of organisms have changed, some of them a great deal. But good for identification.

It is Frontonia acuminata (resembles F. angusta in size & shape, but has a pigmented spot at the front end of the cell).

Re: An Easy one for you
It took a lot of work to scan my copy and post it to the Internet Archive a few years ago. I'm glad to see it gets downloaded, from time to time! However, note that Kahl's magnum opus has 4 volumes (you left out vol. IV Peritricha & Chonotricha).75RR wrote:Ha ha ...An Easy one for you

Re: An Easy one for you
Also pls. receive my thanks Bruce! I downloaded the pdfs and applied some layout enhancements before printing & binding the books. Printing of part 1 and 2 worked very well. Somehow had problems to process the other pdfs. Not sure what is different with this pds, but I failed to extract individual pdf pages to process these. So I still missing band 3 and 4 in my book shelf.Bruce Taylor wrote:It took a lot of work to scan my copy and post it to the Internet Archive a few years ago.

Re: An Easy one for you
Hmm, I wonder what was different about the other pdf files? I still have all the original scans, in jpg format, if you want to try using those.ImperatorRex wrote:Printing of part 1 and 2 worked very well. Somehow had problems to process the other pdfs.

There is also a fifth monograph, original copies of which are extremely rare. Kahl intended it to be the first volume of a new work to be titled Infusorien, but plans were disrupted by the war (Kahl himself died in 1946). Foissner & Wenzel republished it in a special issue of Acta Protozoologica: http://www1.nencki.gov.pl/pdf/ap/ap812_supplement.pdf
Sadly, the second volume never appeared. I wonder if the manuscript is hidden away in some family collection, somewhere?

Re: An Easy one for you
I scanned that one too, with the author's permission. It isn't very useful, though. Kahl's species-level descriptions and deft illustrations remain current and interesting, but his taxonomy, at the genus level and above, was already obsolete in 1978, when Paddy produced that booklet.MichaelG. wrote:Whilst visiting the Internet Archive, I also found this little gem:

Re: An Easy one for you
It is really strange but I tried several hours to extract the individal pages without any progress or success. So I would be very grateful if you could supply me the jpg format. I will contact you to share email to further coordinate.[/quote]Bruce Taylor wrote:Hmm, I wonder what was different about the other pdf files?

Are you interested to get the final print layouts that I have generated? I would be glad to share.
Your info is really a jewel and make this a very happy day for me Great info and hyperlink too! I have to admit that I feel now very glad that I am a native german speaker, so I can read Kahls monographsBruce Taylor wrote:There is also a fifth monograph, original copies of which are extremely rare.

Usually me - and especially the pitiable audiance - suffers from my poor English during business meetings
Again thank you for sharing this really great information and scaning all the hundreds pages.
