Abstract
In the following, an account is given on some of the work on freshwater dinoflagellates during the first 200 years of exploration. Readers interested in earlier work on protists may consult the interesting and detailed account of protist research provided by Saville Kent (1880), the British Museum, covering the period from Leeuwenhoek’s first observations (ca. 1675) to F. von Stein. It includes a small amount of information on dinoflagellates. For a general account of dinoflagellate exploration, see Taylor (1987), who concentrated on the marine species.
