They concluded that inaugural dissertation from the University of these flagellated crescents were an unusual Berlin. Apparently Flugge (8) knew of Miller's primitive type and listed them as a sort of work and used the name (without giving its "Pro-flagellate". origin) in the second edition of his textbook The crescents from the rumen are described (1886).

They show flagella arising from the middle of the concave side of the organism and suggest that their insertion lies very close to, perhaps inside, the nucleus. The photographs reinforce the information contained in drawings of Selenomonas in the first detailed account of this species by Boskamp (1922). All figures are from preparations of the contents of the caecum of healthy guinea pigs. Figures 1-8. From caecum contents suspended in 5% formalin, washed by centrifugation and stained by Loeffler's method. The cells in figures 2 and 3 are preparing to divide. Figures 4-8. From wet films on coverslips fixed for 7 minutes in Schaudinn's fixative (without acetic acid). Stained with Giemsa solution. Figures 4 and 5 from films that had been treated for 10 minutes with N/1 HCl at 60 C before staining. Figures 6, 7 and 8 from directly stained films that had been differentiated in 20% alcohol (Dobell, 1911). All Giemsa preparations were photographed mounted in water.
