Notes

Polish scientific publications concerning rotifers are recorded and discussed. They contain about 320 papers published in 1947-1993, and about 120 papers for the period 1758-1939, listed by Harring in his 'Synopsis' (1913) and later by Wiszniewski (1954). The papers of Wierzejski (published mainly in 1893) mark a century of advanced rotifer studies in Poland. The work of Wiszniewski on psammon (published in 1933-1938) and on parasitic rotifers (1939, 1948, 1953) is presented in detail, as well as the papers of Pawlowski (published in 1934-1980). A number of contemporary Polish rotifer publications and their distribution by habitat studied, as well as selected results, are discussed.
