Additional information

This paper represents the subject matter of an invitational presentation made October 24, 1986, at the meetings of the History of Science Society held in Pittsburgh, Pa. By uncanny coincidence, considering the topics of our papers, that day was also the birthday (the 354th) of the founding father of protozoology, Antony van Leeuwenhoek! Appreciation is expressed here for the support of National Science Foundation grant BSR 83-07113.
