Natural forms from the introduction: "Geckel, who devoted his monograph on the radio areas of Johannes Muller"s memory, shared the views of his teacher. With the help of Muller"s method, he collected a large number of new species in the water area, which were then systematically studied by him in Berlin. Along with this, he led to observation of alive, just caught by the organisms, studying the peculiarities of their structure and reactions. These observations allowed Geckel to present in the monograph not only the classification of radilation, developed mainly on the basis of the structure of skeletons, but also describe the movement, reproduction, growth and distribution of these organisms. But only in 1879, the student of Geckel Richard Hertwig (Richard Hertwig) (1850-1937) was able to finally prove the affiliation of radilation to the unicellular, simple organisms"
