VIII. Contributions to the life-history of the foraminifera

Abstract

In the preface to his classical work, ‘Über den Organismus der Polythalamien,’ published in 1854, Max Schultze acknowledged with regret the incompleteness of the account which he was able to give of the reproductive processes of the Foraminifera. and pointed out that a rich field here lay open for future investigation. In the years that followed Schultze him self made further contributions to our knowledge on this head, but, important as they were, they only went a short way towards solving the problem.
