Book Description
Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Desmidiaceae, Vol. 5 Professor West's drawings and a list of British and foreign localities for Desmids were the only material left by the Wests on which the remainder of the work could be based. For inaccuracies in the diagnoses or remarks the writer must take entire responsibility. Whilst she has attempted to embody in these remarks all that has been previously published concerning the various species and, in addition, has sometimes included her own original observations, she can only regret that the information she is able to give is so meagre and incomplete in comparison with what it might have been if Dr. West had not prematurely died; for it is impossible that work resulting from a six or eight years' know ledge should form a worthy conclusion to that started on the basis of a life-long study.
