Extract

Professor Canning opened the satellite meeting by reporting that Professor Erich Scholtyseck, who had in part organized the session had died. She expressed the feeling of the meeting that, as a distinguished scientist and gracious personality, he would be sadly missed on the international scene.

Three of the speakers dealt respectively with the systematics of Perkinsus spp. and Spiromonas spp, the eimeriine coccidia and the piroplasms. The fourth speaker concentrated on the role that some of the newer technologies could play in research on taxonomy of Protozoa.
