Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Desmidiaceæ, Vol. 5 Eleven years have elapsed since the appearance of the fourth volume of this series, a period which has seen many changes, and during which the science of Algology has lost a number of its most active investigators. Undoubtedly the worst blow, as far as Britain is concerned, has been the irreparable loss of the two authors of the British Desmidiaceoe. In the death of his father, William West, in 1913, George S. West suffered the bereavement not only of a parent to whom he was devoted but also of a colleague who had been a fellow-worker and supporter since his early childhood when they pursued their algological studies together. From this blow he never quite recovered, for continued ill-health and the strenuous years of the Great War played havoc with his constitution, and finally, in 1919, he succumbed to pneumonia. In attempting to complete, at the request of the Ray Society, this great work of her beloved and much-respected teacher, the writer is aware that she has undertaken a difficult task; yet she feels that, if only in publishing and thus, rendering available for students of algæ the remainder of Professor West´s beautiful drawings of Desmids, she will have accomplished something useful. Wherever possible the figures given have been copied from Professor West´s drawings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
