Abstract
(1) THERE is probably no large sheet of fresh water that has been so thoroughly investigated, so far as its fauna of protozoa is concerned, as the Lake of Geneva. Forel, Jean Roux, Penard, and others have shown its richness in variety of form, in the number of species, in cases of parasitism, and in adaptations to other special habits of life. They have set an example which we might well follow in regard to our English lakes, about which we still know so little.
