Excerpt from A Preliminary Report on the Protozoa of the Fresh, Waters of Connecticut In connection with the State Geological and Natural His tory Survey, I have been requested to undertake the study of the microscopic life in the waters of the State. This part of the State Survey is naturally a very extensive piece of work, and at the present time only the beginnings of the task can be reported. The work, as it has come into my hands, has divided itself into three parts. I. The Protozoa. 2. The Algae and allied plants. 3. The Bacteria common in the waters of the State. Work upon all three of these divisions of the subject has been undertaken, and is progressing satisfactorily. Up to the present time most of my own attention has been given to the study of the Protozoa. This part of the work has been carried on extensively since its assignment to me, and has reached a point where it is deemed wise to present a preliminary report upon the work already done.
