Description
Egyptian plankton samples for revision as to its phytoplankton content. First samples are dated in 1933 owned by Prof. Steuer, while the other samples are from the Nile area and collected by Dr. Hans Amberg, in 1904. The samples that come from the large district of the Nile prove that the Melosira in Prof. Steuer's material represents a real phytoplankton component of Nile water and not merely a passive swimming organism.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 3 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Additional Metadata
Apart from teh samples of 1933, there are samples of Nile owned by H. Bachmann and collected by Dr Hans Amberg, in 1904. The equipment used is a very small net. The samples are from the following stations: (1) Assuan, 1904/02/09; (2) Above Edfu, 1904/02/08; (3) Dendera, 1904/02/04; (4) Assiut, 1904/02/02; (5) Above Fashn, 1904/01/30; (6) Cairo, 1904/04/08 and (7) Bedreshein, 1904/01/29. The samples 1,2,3 contain the genus Melosira and were very frequently. The samples 4,6 and 7 conatin Melosira granulata var. augustissima and the typical Melosira crucipunctata. These samples showed hardly any other phytoplankton. One may mention: Pediastrum clathratum, with varieties, Surirella splendida, Eudorina elegans.
