Description:
Norman Ingram Hendey (1903-2004) made a lifelong study of diatoms. This catalogue presents data from his collection of well over 6000 glass microscope slides, now kept at the Natural History Museum, London. The collection contains many type slides, from Hendey's own studies as well as from other diatomists. Details for each type slide, as far as is possible, are documented. Many of the specimens are illustrated, along with some of Hendey's manuscript drawings and notes that are also preserved. This catalogue highlights Hendey's remarkable collection of specimens, which is a functional biodiversity research resource rather than just a collection of historical curios. It is a comprehensive documentation of type material collected by Norman Ingram Hendey and some of his colleagues.
This book is of interest to diatom specialists, especially those studying diatom taxonomy, systematics and diversity.
