Abstract
Cilia and possibly flagella were first observed by Leeuwenhoek (1677, 1679) toward the end of the seventeenth century. The case for Leeuwenhoek’s priority of discovery of cilia has been elegantly presented by Dobell (1958). The accuracy of Leeuwenhoek’s observations has been noted by Hughes (1959) who has also remarked upon the general hiatus in important microscopical observation throughout the eighteenth century, partially based on the technical limitations of available instruments.
