Notes

The present paper deals with the Rotatoria-coenosis of periphyton ("Aufwuchs") of mosses and Myriophyllum, in the littoral zone of the river Danube and some brooks of the Alps. A biocoenotic analysis delivers a diagnosis of it. The comparison to a lenitic branch of the Danube and on the other hand to two more rapid streams of the High Tatra mountains shows the great influence of water-currents as an oecological factor. There are given some important taxonomical statements to some species of Rotatoria. Two species are introduced as new: Dicranophorus liepolti and Macrotrachela aliena.
