1880–1 W. Saville-Kent Man. Infusoria I. 429 Among the free-swimming monoflagellate Infusoria as at present known, where the locomotive appendage without exception fulfils during natation the rôle of a tractellum, its recognition by such title in contradistinction to a propelling organ or pulsellum is uncalled for.

1885 Encycl. Brit. XIX. 859/1 The flagellum of the Flagellata is totally distinct from the pulsellum of the Bacteria.

1915 Proc. Royal Soc. B. 88 358 There is certainly no vibration of the free distal part of the flagellum at all; in this method of movement, the flagellum does not act as a pulsellum.

1935 Biol. Bull. 68 429 The insertion of the trailing flagellum (pulsellum) has not been determined.
