Collection of 70 offprints on trematodes

SPANNING THE 20TH CENTURY, 71 SCARCE OFFPRINTS ON THE BIOLOGY AND TAXONOMY OF TREMATODES PARASITIZING DIVERSE VERTEBRATES AND INVERTEBRATES. 71 offprints, 1 in Spanish, 4 in French, 66 in English; some with wrappers, some not (as issued), many illustrated, author or previous owner inscription or handstamp to several covers, otherwise unmarked and very good. The papers cover the biology of the trematodes, including anatomy, physiology, reproduction, embryology, metabolism, and life cycle. A number report descriptions of new species and other aspects of taxonomy. The variety of hosts includes fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, crustaceans, and molluscs. Authors most represented include J. E. Guberlet (13 papers), R. W. Macy (13 papers), and Ivan Pratt (11 papers). JOHN EARL GUBERLET (1887 - 1940) came to Seattle in 1923 to take a teaching post as assistant professor of zoology at the University of Washington, and was promoted to professor in 1930. He was a staff member of the Oceanographic Laboratory of the Zoology Department at Friday Harbor and at the University. He had won wide recognition in his research on parasitology, which included the marine borer studies at Friday Harbor. RALPH WILLIAM MACY (1905 - 1999), a member of the biology department of Reed College from 1942 until 1955, had a long career in teaching and biological research. From 1955 (until his retirement in 1972) Macy worked as a professor of biology at Portland State University. Because much of his research involved unknown cycles of trematodes, Macy named many new species of trematodes, and many others were named for him. IVAN PRATT ( - 1973) was a member of the Department of Zoology of Oregon State University, where he taught, conducted research, and directed graduate programs in invertebrate zoology and parasitology from 1946 to 1973. He was resident director of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in the summer sessions from 1946 to 1952 while serving on the faculty of the Institute as the marine biologist. Very active in the group that planned the development and building of the Marine Science Center, Dr. Pratt maintained an extensive research program and directed student research in marine biology at the Center from its opening in 1965 until his death in 1973.
