(Founded li January, 1871;

IN CONTINUATION OF THE ZoOLOGICAli EeCOED, COMIIENCED IN 1865).

Extract from the Buies adopted at the General Meeting^
held 16/A March, 1871.

1. This Association shall be called the Zoological Eecoed
Association, and its object shall he to continue the publication of
the ‘ Eecord of Zoological Literature.’

“2. The Association shall consist of Members and Subscribers .

“ 3. Members are entitled to receive a copy of the Annual Volume,
and are liable to the extent of £5, in the event of the funds from
all other sources not being equal to meet the Annual Expendi-
ture. When this amount of £5 has once been reached, Members
can either withdraw or renew their Membership, and thereby
incur a fresh liability.

“ 4. Subscribers shall pay annually on the 1st of July Twenty shil-
lings, but incur no other liability ; in return for this they receive
the Volume containing the ‘Eecord of Zoological Literature’ of
the preceding year, as soon as it is published.”

By a recent vote of Council of the Zoological Eecoed Asso-
ciation, it has been resolved “ to offer to each Member and to each
Subscriber who has paid his subscription (£1) the issue of the next
volume of the ‘ Zoological Eecord ’ in Parts as fast as printed,
should they so prefer it.”

The entire Volume only will be issued to the public, as hereto-
fore, at the usual price (£1 10s.).

PREFACE,

It is in no spirit of formality that public expression is given to
the sense of great loss which those who make and those who use
the Zoological Eecoed feel at the death of Mr. E. C. Eye, who
for ten years fulfilled the duties of Editor. The experience
already gained by me in a work which I undertook with no light
heart enables me to assure zoologists that they owed Mr. Eye
many thanks ; it is to be hoped that future volumes may be kept
up to the high standard to which he brought the last ten.

Two of the Eecorders who have longest and most laboriously
worked on the Eecord find themselves compelled — the one by his
duties at the Berlin Museum, the other by a desire to complete the
Catalogue of Moths, on which he has been long engaged — to
sever, after this year, their active duties in connection with it ;
the thanks of zoologists are due to Prof. E. von Martens and Mr.
W. F. Kirby for all they have done in the past.

Dr. Murie, who had promised Mr. Eye to report on the Mam-
malia, failed to send in his Eecord by as late a date as October the
15th j Mr. W. L. Sclater has supplied one at very short notice.
Mr. E. Bowdler Sharpe was compelled to resign his office on being
sent to India to receive the Hume Collection of Birds ; Mr. A. H.
Evans has undertaken his duties. The post of Eecorder of Coelen-
terates, which was vacant, has been accepted by Prof. Haddon.

In future volumes. Dr. Sharp will replace Mr. Kirby ; Prof.
Herdmann, Messrs. W. E. Hoyle, G. E. Vines, and G. H. Fowler
will take the place of Prof. E . von Martens.

The fact that the Eecord has now reached its twenty-first
volume, coupled with the change in editorship, appeared to justify
some alteration in the arrangement of the parts which should

Vlil

PREFACE.

bring it more into accord with the advance of our science ; I have,
therefore, rearranged the Molluscoidea, placing the Tunicata next
to the Fishes, and distinguishing the Brachiopoda from the
Polyzoa, while the Echinodermata now precede the Vermes. On
the other hand, I have retained old arrangements where a change
might cause inconvenience ; thus, after taking the advice of
Mr. McLachlan, the groups of Insects have been left unaltered >
Eeptiles and Batrachians are in the same section, and Balano-
(jlossus remains with the Vermes.

It is my pleasant duty to acknowledge grants of £150 from the
Government Grant Committee of the Eoyal Society, and of £100
from the British Association ; and to thank the institutions and
individuals who have supplied the Eecorders with copies of their
publications.

I.— INTKODUCTION.

The discovery of the mode of reproduction in the Alonotremes is the
great event in the history of Mammals in 1884 ; and is, indeed, the most
important fact in relation to this Class that has been ascertained for
many years. Although it has been suspected, and even asserted, by many
authors that the OrnithorhyncTius lays eggs, absolute certainty upon this
point was only attained in the summer of 1884, when IMr. W. H. Caldwell
announced that Monotremes are oviparous, and that the segmentation of
their ova is meroblastic (53). [See also Spencer (320), Haacke (135), and
Owen (262).]

The most important anatomical works relating to Mammals published
in 1884 are Retzius’ volume on the Vertebrate auditory organ (287), and
Ludwig Prince of Bavaria’s monograph on the comparative anatomy of
the tongue (21).

In Palaeontology, Marsh has published his second great volume on the
Dinocerata (214) ; and valuable work has been done by Cope (72),
Lydekker (207), and Schlosser (300).

Of faunistic works, may be specially mentioned Tristram’s Fauna of
Palestine (342), and Merriam’s essay on the Vertebrates of the Adiron-
dack Mountains (221).

The new genera of Mammals characterized in 1884 were 15 in number,
of which 5 are recent and 10 fossil ; the new species described were 103,
of which 30 are recent and 83 fossil ; besides which, 7 recent forms and 3
extinct have been designated as subspecies.

The allantoic vein is only a foetal vessel in typical Mammals, but is
shown by the author to be present in the adult Echidna. It is the pri-
mitively left allantoic vessel which survives, showing that in this respect
Echidna resembles Amphibia and differs from Reptilia, in which the right
alone survives.

The principal result obtained in this paper is that the formation of
the amnion in Mammals is almost altogether from the tail end ; that the
amniotic fold of the head is at first formed of epiblast and hypoblast
alone, the mesoblast not having grown round into it ; that the formation
of the amnion is due to the weight of the embryo, which causes it to
subside slowly into the blastodermic vesicle ; and that this formation has
acquired the appearance of a simple invagination of the surface of what
the authors call the blastocyst (^.e., the outer wall of the blastodermic
vesicle). A series of ingenious diagrams of the results obtained, beauti-
fully lithographed in colours, is given.

Boas shows that the presence of a second completely-developed toe on
the inside of the horse’s leg is not due to atavism, as seems to have been
taken for granted ; but that since the second metatarsal {i.e., the splint
bone) of the same side is always present, the polydactylism is simply due to
a doubling of the large third metatarsal with its phalanges.

70. Cope, E. D. The Vertelrata of the Tertiary Formations of the
West. Book I., in the Report of the United States Geological Survey
of the Territories, by F. V. Hayden, vol. iii. Washington : 1884.

This large volume contains, in the first part, an account of the Mam-
malian fauna of the Puerco, Wasatch, and Bridger periods of the Lower
Tertiaries ; the second part consists of the faunae of the White River
and John Day periods. Among his most important finds the author
reckons the Marsupial Plagiaiilacidce, the aberrant Creodonta^ the Concly-
larthra^ and the phylogenetic series of the Camdce and Felidce.

71. . Second Addition to the Knowledge of the Puerco Epoch.

P. Am. Phil. Soc. xxi. p. 309.

Contains descriptions of new species of Puerco Mammals : Pidy midis
2)rimus, Triisodon rusticus, T. assurgens^ Miodcenus cuspidatus, Chriacus
tnmcatiis, and C. simplex, all Creodonts ; Tricentes crassicollidens, g. &
sp. nn., 2\ incequidens, Indrodon malaris, g. & sp. nu., all Lemurs; A7ii-
sonchus agapetillus and A. cophator, Condylarthrans ; and Chirox plicatus,
g. & sp. nn., and Catopsalis fissidens, Marsupials.

72. . On the Tritubsrculate Type of Molar Teeth in the Mamma-

lia. T. c. p. 324.

Showing that the trituberculate is the piimitive type of tooth ; that it
is found in nearly all the fossil Mammals from the Puerco or Lower
Eocene ; finally, that it persists now only in Marsupials, Creodonts, and
some Carnivores.

73. . Synopsis of the Species of Oreodotitidce. T. c. p. 503.

A review of the Oreodontidce, a rather aberrant family of the Ruminantia.
Nine new species are described. They first appear in the White River
epoch, and die out in the Loup Fork epoch, both of the Miocene.

74. . On New Lemuroids from the Puerco Formation. Am. Nat.

xviii. p. 59.

The Adapidce. from Puerco, on account of their foot-structure, must be
put among the insectivorous Bunotheria. Those genera with three and
two superior premolars remain in the Lemuroidea, of which there are two
Eocene families : (1) Mlxodedidce, with three superior premolars, con-
taining the genera Tricentes, Neci'olemur, Mixodectes, Microsyops, and
Cynodontomys ; (2) Anapiomorpliidez, with two superior premolars, con-
taining the genera Indrodon and Anaptomorphus.

75. . The Creodonta. T. c. pp. 255, 344, & 478.

These animals evidently represent the Carnivora in Eocene times ; but
that they are not Carnivora is evident from the absence of a scapholunar
bone, from their ungrooved astragalus and smooth cerebral hemispheres.
They also differ widely from the Carnivorous Marsupials ; from the
Insectivores, however, they differ in no essential particulars. The Creo-
donta are arranged, with Insectivora, Tillodonta, and Tueniodonta, and 2
other suborders, under a new order, Bunotheria. Their definition is as
follows : — Neither incisor nor canine teeth growing from persistent pulps,
hallux not opposable, superior true molars tritubercular or more simple.
Of the 9 families, 5 are extinct, and of each of these the author treats in

77. . The Tertiary Marsupialia. T. c. p. 686.

There are 3 types of extinct Marsupials, the carnivorous type {Sarco-
pliaga^ Owen), the herbivorous type {Poepliaga^ Owen), and a third type
{Multituherculata, Cope), characterized by “ at least three longitudinal
series of tubercles in its superior molar teeth.” The author gives an
account of 3 families, Tritylodontldce, Polymastodontidw^ and Plagiau-
lacidce, all belonging to the Multituherculata.

78. . The Condylarthra. T. c. pp. 790 & 892.

The Condylarthra, combined with the Tlyracoidea^ make up the new
order Taxeopoda. The Condylarthra contain 3 families — Periptychidce,
Plienacodontidce, and Meniscotheriida;. These forms are all 5-toed, both
before and behind ; their dentition is either bunodont or lophodont ; they
form the most primitive stock of the modern Ungulates, and they are all
confined to the Puerco and Wasatch beds of the Lower Eocene.

79. . Observations on the Phylogeny of the Artiodactyla derived

80. . The Amhlypoda. Op. cit. xviii. pp. 1110 & 1192 ; xix. p. 40.

The Amhlypoda forms an extinct order of Ungulate Mammals, in

which the internal bones of the carpus are in a linear series. There
are 3 suborders: — (1) Taligrada^ with one genus, Pantolamhda, of Cope ;
(2) the Pantodonta, containing the family Conyphodontidce ; (3) the
Dinocerata (for which see Marsh’s Monograph).

There is a regular gradation in the size of the hallux in the genus
Erinaceus^ from the large hallux of E. europceus down to E. diadematus,
in which it is only 4 mm. long. E. albiventris has no traces of the hallux

from Madagascar to Australia, to account for the resemblance of their
respective Chiropterous faunae ; also that the supposed resemblance be-
tween the Insectivora of the West Indies and those of Madagascar no
longer exists, since Solenodon has been shown to be no more allied to the
CentetidcB than to the Hedgehogs or Moles.

The first part contains an account of the development of the centrale
of the carpus in man, and of its ultimate fate ; it is found that in the
majority of cases the centrale persists, fused to the scaphoid. A short
account is also given of the development of the centrale in other Mam-
mals ; and where it is not present in the adult, it is shown to be fused
with the radiale to form the scaphoid. The second part deals with the
development of the pisiform bone, showing that there are two distinct
bones known as pisiform : (1) a true carpal bone, (2) a sesamoid. The
third part, containing general considerations, asserts that the primitive
axis does not pass all along the radial side of the forelimb, as is supposed
by Gegenbaur, but from the humerus, along the ulna, then obliquely
through the intermedium and centrale, to the first metacarpal and digit.

This is a popular reproduction, in the form of a series of lectures, of
Prof. Parker’s ■well-known investigations into the phylogeny of the
Mammalia. The chapters on and Insectivora (pp. 90-187) are

Mr. Parker comes to the conclusion that the Edentates are more nearly
allied to the Monotremes than to the Marsupials ; that the Neotropical
Edentates must be separated from the old-world forms ; and that
Oryctero_piis has resemblances to Rhynchocyon, and is probably the only
Edentate that has sprung from a Metatherian stock.

The pterylosis and structure of the skeleton tend to ally this bird
rather to the Ciconiidce than to the Ardeidce^ the powder-down patches
of which are absent. The tongue, unlike that of most Ardeidce^ is small,
but the syrinx is not Ciconiine but Ardeine ; in other points, Scopus
resembles the Ardeidce, not the Ciconiidce. Scopus has not the “ ambiens,”
but the “ semitendinosus ” and the “ femoro-caudal ” (this is no test in
the present case), and in the condition of the pectoral muscle it agrees
with the Herons and not the Storks. In the deep plantar tendons it is
not essentially Ciconiine, but in the absence of the expansor secundari-
orum it differs from all the Ardeidce, with the exception of two genera.
On the whole, Scopus combines the muscular characters of both the
above families, from which a most intimate connexion between them

The writer thinks that the difference of opinion on this subject is due
to the assumption that the development of the blastoderm is at every
stage the same in all parts of the embryo, which he maintains is not the
case; his object is to describe the changes that precede the appearance
of the primitive streak. A description of this is followed by an analysis
of Koller’s investigations.

The history of the science is fully told to the end of the 18th cen-

impossible to treat of more than some branches of the subject. First
the illustrated works are dealt with (pp. 11-14), then the ‘‘ Quinary
System,” which is considered to have greatly retarded progress for a
quarter of a century (1825-50) in Britain, is described (pp. 15 & 16), and

home of English people, or are commonly visited by them,” are briefly
reviewed (pp. 16-18). To this succeeds a history of modern views on
classification, which are originally traced to Nitzsch and Merrem, and
the various modifications of their primary sketches by themselves and
others — as De Blainville, L’Herminier, Gloger, Sundevall, Blyth, Brandt,
MacGillivray, Johannes Muller, Cabanis, Bonaparte, Cornay, and Blan-
chard— down to the introduction of the principle of Evolution, are dis-
cussed in considerable detail (pp. 18-32). Then follows a similar treatise
on the post-Darwinian investigations of Parker, Huxley, Milne-Edwards,
and Sclater (pp. 33-42). The importance of the discovery of AvcIkbo-
jAeryx^ as pointed out by Owen, and of Marsh’s Odontornithes, is next
dwelt on (pp. 42 & 43) ; but this group is shown to present types of
the two great existing sub-classes Ratifce and Carinatce, and the latter is
believed to have been evolved from the former. The taxonomy of
Carinatce is then treated at some length (pp. 45-49), and a general agree-
ment with Huxley’s scheme [c/. Zool. Rec. iv. pp. 46-49] as further
developed by Sclater \_cf. Zool. Rec. xvii. Aves, pp. 23-25] expressed ;
but the present knowledge of the subject is declared to be too imperfect
to enable a phylogeny of even the Carinatce to be yet composed. The
immense service of the researches of Garrod and W. A. Forbes in sub-
dividing the Passer es is fully recognized, as well as the limits assigned by
them to the three Sub-orders, Oligomyodi, Traclieoplionce, ecndi Acromyodi,
or true Oscines. In these last the author disputes the generally-admitted
primacy of the Turdidce (pp. 47 & 48), showing it to have arisen from a
misconception, and strongly urges the claims of the Corvidce to that posi-
tion (p. 49), as formerly insisted on by MacGillivray and Parker, and
seeming now “ to stand a fact on the firm ground of proof.’’ An index
to the authors’ names cited concludes the article.

Beard, J. On the Segmental Sense Organs of the Lateral Line, and on
the Morphology of the Yertebrate Auditory Organ. Zool. Anz. vii.
pp. 123-126 & 140-143.

The results of the author’s researches on the lateral nerve in Fishes
differ very much from those obtained by Van Wijhe and Hoffmann, who
have recently published papers dealing with the same question. This
difference cannot be accounted for by a difference of material, as Hoff-
mann worked upon the same genus. The author is led to accept the
conclusion of Balfour, that the lateral nerve arises just as all other
nerves do, and not as a splitting off of a portion of the epiblast. The
auditory organ is, like the segmental sense organs, shown to be really
a modified portion of the epiblast. Very early in development it
becomes shut off in a sac from the epidermis, a condition which only
arises later in the segmental sense organs.

Epinephelus, and Enneacentrus. A list of nominal species with their
identifications is added, and a tabular list of the 35 species admitted,

The authors accept the views of Gill as to the relationship of these
forms, and place them in the family Sparidee. They consider the cranial
character of the separation of the interorbital area from the occipital
region more important than the squamation of the soft dorsal or the
separation of the spinous dorsal characters by which Bleeker has arranged
the groups noticed in this paper in thi’ee genera (Luijanus, Aprion, and
Ltelis'), and divide the (27) American species into 8 genera (^Hoplopagrus,
Lufjanus, Ocyiirus, Rhomboplites, Tropidinius, Aprion, Etelis, and Yerilus),
of which a synonymy is given, and a synopsis by which the genera and
species may be distinguished. Full descriptions are given only of those
species which have been examined. A list of the nominal species, with
their identifications, is added, and a table of the 27 species admitted,

Gill, T., & Ryder, J. A. On the Literature and Systematic Relations
of the Saccopharyngoid Fishes. P. U. S. Nat. Mus. vii. pp. 48-65.
The authors give extracts from, and comparison of, the descriptions of
these fishes given by the early writers, Mitchell, Harwood, Johnson, &c.,
and are of opinion that the family Saccopharyngidce should probably be
placed in the Order Lyomeri (Gill, 1883), along with the Eurypharyngidce.
They are inclined to retract the opinion formerly expressed by Gill, and
agree with Gunther in considering the anterior upper dentigerous bones
as maxillary and not palatine. The distinguishing characters between
Saccopharynx, Mitchell, and OpMognathus, Harwood, are given, and
the synonymy of S. flagellum^ Cuv., & 0. ampullaceus, Harwood, added.

Anatomy and Physiology.

Nervous System.

E. VAN Beneden & C. JuLiN describe a ganglionic cord, composed of
nervous cells, in the adult stage of Perojphora^ Clavelina rissoana^ and
Molgula ampulloides. It exists probably in all simple Ascidians ; it
starts from the hinder end of the brain or chief gauglion, extends all
along the dorsal raphe, passes between the rectum and the entrance of
the oesophagus, iuclines then to the right, and terminates between the
right and left lobes of the liver. Its homologue in the larvae of the
Ascidians is the visceral part of the myelencephalon. [Vide suprd.~\

female pronucleus and the granulated corpuscles of the larval test ;
these and the gelatinous layer of the larva have no relation at all to the
mantle of the adult animal, but they form a provisional protective organ,
which only attains a certain importance in the genus Doliolum. Rec. Z.
Suisse, i. pp. 91-160, pis. vii. & viii., & pp. 317 & 318.

A. Sabatiek makes some objections to this paper, defending his own
views ; t. c. pp. 423-458, pis. xxii. & xxiii.

E. VAN Beneden states that the segmentation is essentially the same
in Corella, Pkallusia, Pei'ophora, Clavelina, and LeptocUnum, and there-
fore probably in all Ascidians ; the first plane of segmentation remains
always recognizable, and becomes the median plane of the adult. The
greater part of the observations were made on Clavelina rissoana. Corella
parallelogramma produces two sorts of eggs, distinguished by the colour;
both develop themselves in quite the same manner, but the difference of
colour remains until the hatching of the larvae. [Title, vide supra.l

SYNASGIDI^.

W. A. Herdman treats of the classification of the Synascidice ; Nature,
xxviii. pp. 429-431 .

C. Maurice & — Schulgin state that in the Mediterranean specimens
of Amaroecium proliferum budding obtains in summer and sexual repro-
duction in winter, but that the individuals which produce eggs are dif-
ferent to those which produce buds ; the eggs are fecundated in the
breeding chamber ; the development of the egg, as soon as the exoderm
is formed, resembles very remarkably that of the bud ; the gastrula is
epibolic ; a part of the yelk is destined for the future nourishment of
the larva ; there is no primary cavity between the exoderm and ento-
derm ; the mesoderm is due to free formation of cells, and gives origin to
the endostyle, to the muscles of the body and of the tail, and to the gills.
Amarcecium is to be placed between the stoloniferous Ascidics, e.g.,
Perophora, and those with more differentiated colonies and a common
cloaca, e.g., Botryllus. Ann. Sci. Nat. (6) xvii. No. 2, 46 pp., 2 pis.

Anchinia than to any other genus. He characterizes it, according to his
researches on 4 IVIediterranean species, as follows : — External mouth
little developed, containing no cells ; a spiral of vibratory bands anterior
to the ganglion. Nurse with an oblique gill-lamella, having four pairs of
clefts ; oral aperture surrounded by ten marginal lobules ; on the dorsal
side, near the cloacal margin, a cylindrical projection ; nine completely
closed muscular rings, the seventh sending a diverticulum into the basis
of the dorsal projection ; a stolo prolifer directly beneath the heart; the
ganglion in the fourth, the vibratory pit in the third intermuscular
space ; an otocyst in the fourth, at the left side ; when the nurse is
about to propagate, the nutritive and respiratory organs decay, and the
muscular rings increase. The sexual generation is polymorphous, com-
prehending nutritive, nursing, and reproductive individuals. The nutri-
tive individuals are unable to live independently ; they remain for life
fixed on the dorsal projection of the nurse, and are destined for its
nourishment; they are transversely dilated, the mouth large, the gill-
lamella not curved, with many clefts, cloacal cavity very flat, its aperture
extraordinarily large, its base thereby forming a part of the outside of
the animal ; anus opening externally ; only the two muscular rings near
the apertures of the body well developed ; genital organs rudimentary,
no propagation. The nursing individuals also with rudimentary genital
organs, and not propagating, but freely swimming ; body tun-shaped,
with eight well-developed muscular rings ; gill-lamella different accord-
ing to the species ; the stalk by which the young animal is fixed to the
nurse remains for life on the ventral side as a projection, which bears
and gives nourishment to the buds of the generative individuals. These
last perfectly resemble, in structure, the nursing individuals ; the genital
organs are situated on the left, the stalk disappears with age. The egg
produces a tailed larva, which transforms itself into the nurse, the tail
disappearing.

The known species of the Mediterrean Sea are the following : — (1) D.
muelleri (Krohn, 1852), (2) rarum (Grobben), (3) ehrenhergii (Krohn), includ-
ing denticulatum (Krohn) and troscTieli (Gegenbaur) ; these 3 observed by
the author at Naples. D. nordmanni and troscheli (Krohn) are nurses of
the first species. D. gegenhauri, sp. n., from Yillafranca and Messina,
nurse unknown. [Title, vide suprd.^

Anchinia. A. Korotneff describes two sorts of moving corpuscles on
the surface of Anchinia, unicellular amoeboid and multicellular pear-
shaped ones, the former developing themselves gradually into the latter ;
and he describes the further development of them into distinct zooids.
These resemble generally those which have been described by Barrois &
Kowalewsky [see Zool. Rec. xx. Moll. pp. 103 & 104], but their genital
organs were only imperfectly developed, and then produced a large number
of the amoeboid cells. He tries to compare this development with that of
Toliolum, and thinks that there are three different generations : — (1)
one asexual, still unknown, producing by gemmation (2) the imperfectly
sexual zooids observed by himself, which produce on their surface
and in their pharynx (3) another set of zooids, which become perfectly
sexual, and are those observed by Barrois & Kowalewsky. Z. wiss.

SALP^.

C. S. Dolley opposes the statement of Korotneff that digestion in
Salpa is effected by a huge amoeboid cell or plasmodium carrying
on a form of parenchymatous digestion; the lumen of the intes-
tinal canal, on the contrary, is completely free throughout, but often
filled with a mucous thread, which originates from the endostyle, and acts
as a means for catching the food-particles from the ingurgitated water.

APPUNDIGULAEIM.

in the Appendicular ice , and comes to the conclusion that both have their
origin in nearly the same manner from absolutely homologous mother-
cells in the same part of the common gland and by an equal number of
divisions, but that the eggs are derived from the nucleus of the mother-
cells ; the spermatozoids are extra-nuclear. Rec. Z. Suisse, i. pp. 645-663,

MOLLUSCA.

P, Fischer contiuues his valuable manual [c/. Zool. Pec. xviii. Moll,
p. 10, and xix. Moll. p. 13], treating in fasc. vi. & vii. of the Opistho-
hranchia and part of the PectinihrancMa. In the latter he subdivides the
genera into subgenera, and these again into sections ; the new ones will
be mentioned below.

The third volume of Tryon’s “ Structural and Systematic Conchology ”
treats the Pulmonata^ DentaliidcB, and Bivalves in the same manner as
the preceding one the Cephalopods and marine Gastropods [Zool. Rec.
XX. Moll. p. 12], giving a very complete enumeration of the known
genera and subgenera, with their dates, synonyms, chief characters, geo-
graphical range, and typical species, sometimes also their etymology and
notes concerning their habits, the last chiefly extracted from Jeffreys’
British Conchology. The alphabetical index to vols. ii. & iii. together,
67 pp., will be very useful for the practical conchologist. The plates
contain figures of all genera and many subgenera, chiefly shells, but not
exclusively.

Parts 41 & 42 of Soweeby’s Thesaurus Conch, treats of the genera
Teredo, KupTius, Gastroclmna, Pistulana, Saxicava, Rotella, Phasianella,
Delphinula, Liotia, Stylifer, Yanikoro, Neritopsis, Planaxis, Tridacna,
Hippopus, Pleurotomaria, Trigonia, Siliquaria, and the Pteropoda.

J. P. A. Grasset has published a systematic catalogue of his rich col-
lection of recent shells, which, being in accordance with the modern
classifications, may be useful to collectors for arranging their shells ; the
same will also find this catalogue correct in statements of localities.

Anatomy and Physiology.

E. Ray Lankester gives a general account of the Mollusca, chiefly
with regard to their anatomy and development, and proposes the follow-
ing classification : —

Phylum : Mollusca.

(a) Glossophora . . . Class 1 — Gastropoda (mcl. Heteropoda).

2 — Scaphopoda or Dentalia.

3 — Cephalopoda (incl. Pteropoda').

(b) Lipocephala . . . 4 — Acephala or Lamellihranchia.

The Gastropoda are subdivided as follows : —

Sub-class 1 — Isopleiira: Chitons, Neomeniidce, and Choetoderma.

Sub-class 2 — Anisopleura.

(a) Streptoneura.

Ord. 1 — Zygohranchia : Patella, Haliotis, Fissurella, &c.

Ord. 2 — Azygohranchia : The majority of the shell-bearing
marine Gastropods and the Heteropods.

{h) Euthyneura,

Ord. 1 — Nudihranchia.

Ord. 2 — Pulmonata.

Ord. 3 — Opisthohranchia.

The new terms gonad” for sexual organ, osphradium” for sensory
organ, and “ ctenidium ” for gill, are introduced. Encyclopaedia Britan-

F. W. Dali, Science, No. 71, pp. 730-732; see also J. E,. Micr. Soc. (2)
iv. p. 205.]

F. JiCKELi publishes elaborate abstracts of some anatomical papers by
Flemming, Blochmann, Sarasin, Griesbach, and Haller [Zool. Rec. xix. &
XX.], in JB. mal. Ges. xi. pp. 291-306.

C. Grobben describes the relations of the renal and genital organs in
the Cephalopods. In Sepia officinalis, there is a pair of kidney sacs lined
with epithelium, strongly glandular and opening to the exterior by proper
papillae ; a ciliated opening leads into this kidney sac from a cavity lined
with ciliated epithelium ; this cavity contains the branchial hearts, the
aortic heart, and the genital organs ; the ovary is a ridge in this cavity
formed of folds of peritoneal epithelium ; eggs are caught up by the
open end of an oviduct and conveyed through it to the mantle cavity.
In Eledone moscliata, the peritoneal space is not so large as in Sepia, and
does not surround the heart ; it is little more than a reproductive organ,
its wall being almost completely occupied by the folds which give rise to
the ova ; but a narrow tubular channel runs from it into the kidney sac,
opening there by a ciliated mouth, and lined with ciliated epithelium.
In Nautilus, the cavity resembles that of Sepia ; in other Mollusca, it is
reduced to the pericardial space. Eentalium offers so many important
points of affinity that the author pronounces it to be the remnant of the
ancestral forms of the Cephalopoda (pp. 224-232, with woodcuts). The
Pteropods, on the contrary, are regarded by him as much nearer to
the Gastropoda than to the Cephalopodoj, the suckers of Pneumodermon
being a new acquisition, and the spirally twisted forms of the Pteropods,
as Limacina and Spirialis, the oldest, the regular symmetry of the others
an adaptation to the free-swimming habits, because the disposition of the
internal organs is asymmetrical as in the Gastropoda. Finally, the author
states that all Mollusca have a secondary cavity of the body, which com-
municates by a ciliated funnel with the renal organ, and is lined by a
peritoneum, the organs within it being enveloped by a reflexed por-
tion of the same ; it is therefore homologous in all points of importance
to the secondary cavity of the body in Annelids and Vertebrates. Arb.
z. Inst. Wien, v. pp. 179-252, with 3 pis. (Abstract in Am. Nat. xviii.
pp. 1271-1273.)

H. Wegmann gives an anatomical description of Haliotis tuher-
culata, and points out many points of resemblance with the Bivalves.
There are two organs of Bojanus which are very different from one an-

organs consist only of the male and the female gland, which open both
in the cavity of the organ of Bojanus ; the auricle of the heart, the gill,
and the aorta are double, as in the Bivalves, and the ventricle of the
heart is perforated by the intestine ; the situation of the organs is some-
what altered by the strong development of the shell muscle. Arch. Z.

F. Houssay describes the structure, formation, and fastening of the oper-

[see special part], and comes to the conclusion that the operculum is homo-
logous neither with the second valve of the Bivalves, nor with the byssus,
but is quite a peculiar organ, distinct from both by its place and its mode
of growth ; he distinguishes two kinds of pedal glands, the pedal proper
and the^suprapedal ; the latter are very complicated in the genera which
have an operculum, and are the organs by which the operculum is formed.

F. Feenzel continues his researches on the microscopical contents of
the “ mitteldarmdriise ” (gland of mid-intestine), or the so-called liver of
the Mollusca : he describes the cells which contain granules, and these
granules themselves, which difPer in colour and size in different genera ;
treats of their chemical properties ; describes further the club-like cells,
the aspect of which is also very different according to the genera ; and,
finally, the lime-cells. The granular cells are found in all Mollusca, ex-
cept the Cephalopoda, the club-shaped cells are absent only in Chiton,
Patella, probably also in Fissurella and Pteropods, perhaps also in some
Bivalves ; the lime-cells are probably absent from all Bivalves and Hetero-
pod a, and in some genera of the Gastropoda. Arch. mikr. Anat. xxv.

W. Flemming has defended, in Z. wiss. Zool. xxxix. pp. 137-144, the
existence of what he calls mucous cells as being really closed cells with
a distinct nucleus, which cannot be filled by injections.

P. ScHiEMENS recapitulates the question whether the Mollusca are able
to take in water from outside by distinct apertures, and states by
some experiments that Natica josephinia really takes in a considerable
quantity of water in very short time in order to extend itself, probably
by pores at the border of the foot, and that this water remains separated
from the blood, as it is again ejected by the contraction of the animal.

6. Excretion and. Secretion,

D. Bakfurth confirms the presence of two kinds of excretory organs
in Cyclostoma elegans, which were described by E. Claparede in 1858, and
states that one of them, the so-called concretory gland, contains granules
of Uric acid, but that the so-called kidney contains neither this nor an
allied chemical substance, and rather resembles in structure and function
the organ of Bojanus of the Bivalves ; Zool. Anz. vii. pp. 474 & 475.

According to P. de Meuron, the kidney of Helix is formed partly by
an ectodermal invagination and partly by mesodermal structures, the two
uniting early and so closely that they cannot be distinguished ; J. R.
Micr. Soc. (2) iv. p. 279, and Am. Nat. xviii. pp. 833 & 834.

H. V. Ihering states that in Vaginulus and mBulimus ohlongus the ureter
is wanting, and the kidney opens directly into the pulmonary cavity ; in
Bulimus auris-leporis and papyraceus^ that part of the pulmonary cavity
which communicates with the kidney is distinct from the other, and an
imperfect ureter is present ; in Bulimus hlainvilleanus, the ureter is
perfect. Z. wiss. Zool. xli. pp. 259-283, pi. xvii.

7. Nervous System.

The histological structure of the nerves in the larger Pteropocla and
Heteropoda is described by J. Paneth ; the muscular nerves terminate in
a plexus, but a direct coalescence of a nervous fibrilla with a muscular
one could not be seen : Arch. mikr. Anat. xxiv. pp. 269-286, pis. xv.

The nervous system of Parmophorus australis is described by Boutan,
C.R. xcviii. pp. 1385-1387 [abstract in J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) iv.
p. 730].

The central nervous system of Onchidium is incidentally described by
R. Bergh, Ann. N. H. (5) xiv. pp. 263 & 264.

F. E. Beddard has made some observations concerning the nervous
system of Planorbis and Limncea ; the former has a small unpaired
ganglion between the pedal ganglia ; the whitish body lying in the cere-
bral ganglion, unpaired in Planorbis, and forming a pair in Limncea, is
probably a gland. P. R. Soc. Edinb. xi. 1881-2, pp. 576-583,
pi. iv.A.

L. Boh MIG describes the microscopical structure of the central nervous
system of Helix pomatia and Limncea stagnalis ; the brain of Helix
pomatia is higher developed than that of Limncea, the ganglion cells
being more differentiated in size and polarity, and distinct regions being
distinguishable in it, which is not the case in Limncea. [Title, vide

8. Organs of Sense.

The retina of the Cephalopoda is the subject of a treatise by H.
Grenacher, Abh. Ges. Balle, xvi. pp. 207-256, with 1 pi.

B. Sharp states that there are no distinctly differentiated eyes in
Ostrea virginica, edulis, Anomia ephippium, Lima squamosa, Avicula
sterna, Area incongrua and americana, Cardium muricatum, edule, mag-
num, or Tellina tenta. Pigmented epithelial cells, with a fine homoge-
neous highly refractive cuticle at the free end, are scattered more or less
over the whole mantle, but principally at the posterior end, in Ostrea
virginica and edulis, and their power of vision is proved by experiment ;
the same pigment cells are found in many other AsipTioniata. In Vreis-
senia polymorpha, Venus mercenaria, verrucosa, and Tapes decussata,
these pigment cells are concentrated on that part of the mantle (siphon)
which extends farthest from the shell ; they are without any particular
protection, the siphon being able to be retracted wholly within the shell ;
but in Mya arenaria, in which it is scarcely retractile, the pigment cells
are placed in grooves at the base of the tentacles and form an intensely
black band at both siphonal apertures, but other pigment cells are scat-
tered for quite a distance below the end. A higher step is offered by
Solen vagina, ensis, and Mactra solidissima, the pigmented grooves being
only at the bases of the tentacles, and the grooves more or less special-
ized in number and complexity ; they approach somewhat the eyes of
Patella, which are also without a lens and open, bathed with the surround-
ing medium. The larvae of some of the Lamellihranchiata have also eyes
at the oral extremity of the body, but these disappear in the progress of
development, that part of the body not being exposed to the light ; the
Lamellihranchiata exhibit therefore the obliteration by disuse of true
eyes, and the formation of adaptive visual organs in different steps of
specialization. With regard to Pecten, the author thinks that the organs
which have been generally described as eyes, and which are provided with
a distinct retina and a metallic tapetum, but devoid of a true pigmented
layer in any direct relation to either the nerve or the retina, may be the
organs of some other sense, and that only the pigmented cells with
refractive ends answer to the limited vision which this genus possesses,
and which seems not to surpass that of other Asiphoniata. MT. z. Stat.
Neap. V. pp. 447-470, pi. xxvi.

Several genera of Chitonidee exhibit microscopical eyes in the shape of
highly refractive, convex, circular spots, surrounded by a narrow zone of
dark pigment and placed in pyriform pits, excavated in the substance of
the shell ; they have a calcareous cornea and a distinct optic nerve, which
penetrates to them in a strand of soft tissue by the channels within the
shell ; they are found only in the aresB laterales or in the line of demar-
cation between these and the area centralis, and are very numerous — at
least 8500, and probably more, in a large Corephium aculeatum ; they are
surrounded by a number of smaller pores or pits, in which also a dice-box
shaped plug of soft tissue and the end of a finer branchlet of nerves are
situated, and which are probably organs of touch. Such eyes have been
observed and are described here of Schizochiton incisus, Acanthopleura
1884. [voL. xxr.] c 6

Folium, Tritonium, and Vermetus, Zool. Anz. vii. pp. 546 & 547.

A. Schneider states that he has found spermatophors, containing
active spermatozoids, within the ovaries of Anodonta cygnea in August
and in those of Ostrea edulis in November : he surmises that the eggs are
fecundated before they have reached their full size, and that after
fecundation a year elapses before the segmentation and further develop-
ment begins. Schneider’s Zool. Beitr., i. pt. 2, pp. 127-129, pi. xix.

byssal filament, or rather adhesive filament, by which the very young

byssal gland is also found in Cyclas \_Sphairium'] and other Bivalves. Zool.
Anz. vii. pp. 41 & 42.

J. Brock publishes some observations concerning the development of
the genital organs in Limax agrestis ; he comes to the conclusion that
the oviduct and vas deferens have, probably, a common origin with the
hermaphrodite gland itself, and that their outer orifice is not formed by
an invagination of the ectoderm ; the atresia observed by C. Mangenot
[Zool. Rec. XX. Moll. p. 20] is consequently to be interpreted as want of
full development. Nachr. Gres. Dotting. No. 12, 1884, pp. 499-504.

GEOaEAPHICAL DISTEIBUTION.

a. Land and Feesh-water Mollusca.

1. PalcearcUc Region generally.

H. Jordan publishes a very interesting treatise on the geographical
distribution of the Palaearctic land and fresh-water Mollusca. He dis-
cusses the conditions of the soil which are favourable or unfavourable
to their life, and urges that calcareous soil is favourable for many of
them, not so much on account of its chemical quality, as because it
offers to them a great variety of light and shadow, open air and humidity,
at the same place, in opposition to the greater uniformity of the primi-
tive rocks ; basalt is also favourable to the land snails. For the same
reasons he distinguishes the species of land shells which are found chiefly
on the sea-shore, those living in woods, those of stony hills, those found
in houses, &c., and compares these categories with analogous cases among
plants. In the more strictly geographical part, he re-introduces the cir-
cumpolar arctic province, which is wanting in the zoo-geographical
systems of Sclater & Wallace, and discusses at length its peculiarities: —
Pupa arctica (Wallenb.), shuttleworthiana (Charp.) = alpestris (Alder),
and Helix Tiarpa (Say), are endemic, or at least very characteristic of it ;
others are more widely distributed in the temperate latitudes of Europe,
Asia, and America, e.gr., Margaritana margaritifera, Physa Tiypnorum,
Succinea patris, Pupa muscorum, &c. Jordan excludes the Sahara, the
Arabian Desert, Beluchistan, China proper, and the chief islands of
Japan, from the Palsearctic province. The subdivisions which he adopts
or proposes are the following : —

1. Germanic region, (a) North Sea and Baltic district, including

Scotland, a part of Ireland, the southern half of Scandinavia,
and the Baltic provinces of Prussia and Russia ; (b) Northern
Russia to about 60° N. lat., and Siberia ; (c) Celtic district,
comprehending Ireland, England, and France ; (d) The high
mountains of Central Europe ; (e) Carpathian-Caucasian

district ; (f) The mountains of moderate elevation in Germany,
the land snails of which have generally a wide distribution over
many parts of Europe.

Paleontology oe Recent Mollusks.

We may mention that two important manuals concerning the
fossil Mollusca have appeared in this year — R. HOenes’ Elemente der
Palaeontologie (Leipzig: 1884, 8vo), Mollusca, pp. 208-337, with many
woodcuts, chiefly of Austrian species ; and K. A. Zittel’s Handbuch
der Palaeontologie (Miinchen uud Leipzig, 8vo), still in progress, the
Mollusca in vol. i., second division, pts. 2-3, 1884, pp. 1-440, also with
many woodcuts.

The first occurrence of terrestrial Mollusca in the carboniferous beds
of N. America is corroborated by the discovery of two fresh- water shells,
Physa prisca and Ampullaria ? p)owelli, and of a new genus, Zaptychius^
belonging probably to the Auriculidcc, in the Lower Carboniferous beds
of Nevada : C. Walcott, in Science, ii. p. 808 (abstract in Nachr. mal.
Ges. 1884, pp. 61 & 62, with woodcuts).

Jeffreys has examined the original shells of Broczhi’s Conchiolngia
Fossile Subappennina, and gives some notes concerning their synonymy ;
J. G. Soc. Febr. 1884.

J. Depontaillier treats of the Pliocene species of Murex of the
environs of Cannes, 31 species, among which 8 are still living in the
Mediterranean, and others nearly allied to them ; J. de Conch, xxxii.
pp. 26-76.

The Pliocene land and fresh-water Mollusca of Italy are treated of by C.
DE Stefan I in Atti Soc. Tosc. iii. & v. 196 pp , 3 pis. The following species
from among them are still liviug in Italy : — Valvata piscinalis (MiilL),
Peringia ulvcc (Penn.), Bythinia tentaculata (L.), Truncatella truncatula
(Dr.), Planorhis coutplanatus (L.). Alexia myosotis (Drap.), Helix ohvo-
luta (Mull.), Hyalinia Tiiulca (Jan.), ohscurata (Porro), olivetorum (Gm.),
and Succinea putris (L.). The presence of Dreissenia and Melania^ the
more general range of Melanopsis, the greater number of Auriculidce
(genera Opliicardelus and Cassidula), and the relatively small number of
land shells {Clausilia 1, Helix 10 species) are to be noted.

E. Friedel states that no Mollusks are to be found within amber, and
ascribes this to the circumstance that the woods of that period consisted
only of firs and oaks ; Mal. Bi. (2) vii. pp. 57-60. S. Clessin states that
he has seen a specimen of Helix lainellata in amber ; t. c. p. 59, f.n.

Historical Changes and Acclimatisation.

J. Collin publishes his researches concerning the fauna of the Lim-
fjord in Jutland, which was formerly nearly fresh- water, and opened only
into the Cattegat, but was changed into salt-water in 1825 by the
destruction of the barrier which formerly separated it from the German
Ocean ; 83 species of marine Mollusca are now found in it. The upraised
banks of the Fjord contain also beds of shells, which represent its fauna
before the irruption of the sea, and here the author could find only 76
species, all of which are also found living in the Cattegat, but 23 of
them are not now to be found living in the Limfjord. The surplus of
living species appears thereby to be due to the immigration from the
west coast since the irruption ; they are : — LoUgo hreviceps and media^
Lamellidoris proxima, Polycera lessoniy ^olis glauca. Math arena oxya-
cantha, Tectura testudmalis, Chiton marginatus and marmoreuSy Teredo
norvegica, Mactra soliday Solen pelluciduSy Tellina fahula and pusilla,
Cardium fasciatumy Nucula nucleus, sulcata, andm^i<7«, Modiolaria discors
and marmorata, and A nomia squamula. The author enumerates further
74 species which may be expected to immigrate into the fjord in future.

Rules for SYsrEMATic Classification and Nomenclature.

A. Locard treats somewhat diffusely on the characters of the
species in the Mollusca., and on the best method of distinguishing
and describing them ; he defends the multiplication of species in which
the “new French school” indulges, and judges that figures can be
dispensed with in many cases : Bull. Soc. mal. Fr. i. pp. 17-72. [The
last sentence will probably be agreed to only by few practical concholo-
gists. — Rec.]

a foot. He distinguishes 11 genera, as follows ; —

(a) With three apertures:

1. Trituha^ g. n. ; known only in fossil state. Type, Trif. hitu-

herculata (Baudon), from Chaussy.

holandriana and fagotiana\ the latter into four, Icevigatiana, crassiana^
letourneuxiana^ and speciosiana ; and, finally, these all into 27 so-called
species, among which the following new names occur : — divina, eximia^

PULMONATA.

W. G. Binney has collected his numerous descriptions and figures of
the jaw and radula of various Pulmonata, scattered through different

Oncdidiid^.

J. Brock gives an abstract of Joyeux-Laffuie’s observations [Zool.
Rec. xix. Moll. p. 89], and comes to the result that Onchidium is a Nudi-
branch, perhaps aberrant in some points, and in process of becoming an
air-breather. R. Bergh, on the contrary, recapitulating also the chief
points of our knowledge concerning the anatomy of this genus, and rely-
ing on his very extensive knowledge of the Nudibranchiata, states
that Onchidium is widely separated from them, but agrees with the Pul-
monata in the structure of the nervous system, in the existence of a lung,
&c. ; the Onchidia “ are Pulmonata which have adapted themselves to an
amphibious or marine mode of life.” Ann. N. H. (5) xiv. pp. 259-266.

R. Bergh treats of the genus Onchidium in an appendix to his paper on
the Nudibranchiata of the ‘ Challenger,’ but he declares formally that they
have really nothing to do with the Nudibranchiata^ and are connected by
a number of intermediate links with the Pulmonata ; he describes
0. melanopneumon^ sp. n., Yiti Islands, and comparatively tonganum
(Q. G.) and verruculatum (Cuv.), both from the Nicobars, anatoiiiically :

senting a bag bent on itself, of nearly white colour in auricularia, globose,
plaited, and twisted, bluish grey in ovata, the coecula of the herma-
phrodite gland being finger-shaped in auricularia, grape-like in ovata ;
the lateral teeth near the median one in the radula being as broad as
high in auricularia, higher than broad in ovata, &c. L. peregra, on the
contrary, is regarded by the author only as a biological variet}'- of
L. ovata, living in “hard,” running water, which contains more carbonic

BIVALVIA.

P. Fischer recapitulates and criticizes the new classification of the
Bivalves proposed by Neumayr [see Zool. Rec. xx. Moll. p. 86]. He
thinks that the characters of the hinge are not of so high a value for
classification, compared with those of the soft parts, appealing to the
undeniable natural affinity of Unio with Pleiodon and Anodonta, and on
that of Tellina with Scrobicularia, and Donax with Mesodesma ; further,
he doubts whether the Palceoconchce are really the oldest forms of
Bivalves, as the shells from the Cambrian beds in South Wales described
by Hicks belong to Neumayr’s Taxodonta and Heterodonta. Concerning
the Taxodonta, he states that Latreille’s group of Plagimyones, 1825, and
Blainville’s Polydontes, 1824, are exactly the same, and can claim the
priority of name. J. de Conch, xxxii. pp. 113-122.

Anatomy and Physiology.

M. A. ScHULGiN gives an anatomical description of Argiope^ and comes
to the following conclusions : —

(1.) Only the basal part of the internal skeleton or loop is present
in this genus.

(2.) The shell is not the product of a distinct shell- gland, but is
the product of the whole outer surface of the animal,

(3.) The arm-fringes are homologous to gills, but have no respira-
tory functions.

(4.) Heart and distinct blood-vessels are absent ; the circulation is
due to the cilia in the peritoneal cavity.

(5.) The nervous system consists of feebly-developed suboesophageal
ganglia, a thin nervous ring, and well-developed peripheral
branches.

(6.) Ten distinct muscles are present, but they offer no distinct
homology to those of the Annelids.

(7.) Although a very faint segmentation can be perceived in the
embryo, neither the muscles nor the bristles are in clear relation
to the segments, and even the mesoderm does not partake in the
segmentation ; the bristles are confined to the future mantle of
the animal, as in Chiton.

(8.) The breeding pouch only can be considered as homologous with
the segmental organs of the Annelids, but a similar organ is also
found in PediceUina. among the Polyzoa ; the central portion
of the nervous system has the same place in Argiope and in PedP
celllna^ and the arm-disk of the Brachiopoda is homologous with
the lophophore of the Polyzoa.

The author is inclined to unite the Brachiopoda and the Polyzoa as a dis-
tinct type, “ y ermoidesP Z. wiss. Zool. xii. pp. 116-141, pis. viii. & ix.

POLYZOA.

Morphology and Physiology.

W. J. ViGELius describes the morphology of Flustra, acknowledging
only two forms of individuals, the feeder and the avicularian ; of the
former there are 4 kinds — (1) those in course of budding in the mar-
ginal zone ; (2) the full-grown ones, which are capable of reproduction,
and can lose and regenerate their digestive organs ; (3) the inactive indi-
viduals, in which the brown body persists for some time ; and (4) the
dead individuals, in which all organs are disappearing ; the two latter are
found near the base of the colony. The egg-bearing capsules, and the
adhesive tubes, or root-filaments, are not to be regarded as individuals.
The Cystid and the Polypid are inseparable from one another, and form
together one feeding individual ; each consists of three parts — (1) the
skin ; (2) the nutritive apparatus, tentacles, and intestinal tract ; (3) the
parenchymatous tissue, the parietal layer of which is the endocyst, pro-
ducing the ovary and the testicle. A nervous system is not certainly
known. The ovicell is an organ in the formation of which two neigh-
bouring zooecia partake, and is therefore not an individual. The sexes
are generally separated ; the sexual products develope themselves inde-
pendently of the polypid, and fecundation is probably effected in the
ovicell. The brown body serves as food. Avicularia and vibracula are
modifications of the entire polypocystid, not of the cystid alone. Further,
the development of the buds is described, in conformity with the state-
ments of Nitsche, except in the very first stages. Biol. Centralbl. iii.
pp. 705-721 ; abstr. in Arch. Z. exper. (2) ii. pp. xxvi.-xxix., and in J. R.
Micr. Soc. (2) iv. p. 371.

Concerning the median or central pore of many Polyzoa^ G. Busk has
seen, in a specimen of Tesseradoma (^Onchopora) horeale., a cylindrical
chitinous rod or tubule of a dark browm colour protruding from it, upon

Geographical Distribution.

About 266 species of Polyzoa-Cheilo stomata have been collected during
the voyage of H.M.S. ‘ Challenger,’ in 1873-76, 180 of which are new, or
have only been lately named and described by G. Busk, Zool. Challeng.
X., 216 pp., 36 pis. There are no very peculiar abyssal forms among them,
but a few species have a remarkably wide geographical and bathymetrical
range.

GepJiyrojphora, g. n. Zoarium dimorphous, either erect and irregularly
branched and cylindrical, with the zooecia disposed round an imaginary
axis, or decurrent, loosely encrusting, and unilaminar ; zooecia completely
immersed, flat in front, parted by septal ridges ; surface beneath the

CHILOSTOMATA.

Pol. 13

usually simple and circular, sometimes irregularly fimbriate or repre-
sented by a depressed perforated areola. No ooecia of the usual type,
whose function appears to be discharged by special cells, usually marginal,
but sometimes interspersed amongst the others, which have a punctate
wall and in most cases a suboral pore (or placed immediately below the
mouth), and usually a minute avicularium on each side. Avicularian cells,
that is to say, cells which are wholly converted into vicarious aviculaida
with large mandibles, usually on the extreme border of the lobes, branches,
or fenestrsB, in several species, if not in all. The avicularian mandibles,
both large and small, always exhibit a projecting point or articular process
at each end of the base, into or close to which the erector muscles are
attached; the occlusor muscle is always single, instead of consisting of
two bands as usual. List of species, 18 known, and 20 added by the

Hydroids.” Hincks, Ann. N. H. (5) xiii. pp. 363-365, pi. xiv. fig. 3.

Urnatella gracilis (Leidy) described by Leidy, P. Ac. Philad. 1883,
16 pp., 1 pi. ; abstract, J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) iv. 2, p. 214.

PTEROBEANCHIATA.

Ray Lankester describes the organization of Rhahdopleura normanni^
and states the existence of an internal cartilaginous skeleton in the
stalk, the presence of a body cavity, which had been denied by G-. O.
Sars in R. mirahilis, within the abdomen, and the chitinous nature of
the axial string or blastophore. The external tube, called “ tubarium,”
does not correspond exactly to the coenoecium or the ectocyst of the ordi-
nary Polyzoa, the wall of the body being independent of it; the tubarium
is divided by septa into distinct chambers, one for each polypid; at the end
of the branches the buds are formed, and each bud is separated, when
increasing, by a septum; the polypid is attached to the axial string by
the “ gymnocaulus,” or contractile string of Sars ; the cephalic shield
serves as a locomotive organ for ascending within the tube, and also for
secreting the matter of the tube ; the anterior region of the body from
the mouth to the vent is very pigmented, and can be termed “ thorax,”
the posterior bag-shaped part, “ abdomen the testis is placed within
the body cavity in the abdomen at the right side of the intestine, and
opens near the vent. The author retracts his former opinion that the
cephalic disk is homologous to the foot of the Gastropods ; it is dorsal,
as the epistome of the Phylactolcemata and of Phoronis, and may rather
be compared to the mantle of the Bivalves. Q. J. Micr. Sci. (2) xxiv.

Anatomy and Physiology..

1. Nervous System and Organs of Sense,

H. VlALLANES describes the optic ganglion of Palinurus vulgaris. The
more important of his observations are the following: — The large nervous
cells in the layer of ganglion cells are very rare and scattered. There is
a distinct lobe in front of the external medullary mass, composed of
gigantic unipolar cells, which come from the fibres of the chiasma. The
external medullary mass is hemispherical, much depressed from before
backwards ; another mass of ganglia, called “ couronne ganglionnaire,” is
annexed to it, covering the internal side of the chiasma and composed of
unipolar large and small nervous cells. A bundle of nervous fibres of
the chiasma goes partly to the internal medullary mass, partly to the
optic nerve. The terminal medullary mass is divided by two furrows
into two spheres, upper and lower. The whole optic nerve enters the
upper, and its bundle of tubes is blended with it ; the fibrillar bundle, on
the contrary, penetrates the upper without losing its autonomy, and
finally enters the lower sphere. The terminal medullary mass is nearly
covered by numerous lobules composed of unipolar nervous cells, from
each of which a bundle of fibrillee goes either to the upper or to the lower
sphere. The neurilemma of the optic nerve is continued into the sheath
of the ganglion, and thence by reflection into the sclerotic. Ann. Sci.

2. Muscular System,

The absolute force of the claws in Garcinus mcenas and Flatycarcinus
pagurus has been measured by F. Plateau ; it is, in proportion to the
transverse section of the muscles, distinctly more feeble than in man and
in Bivalves, but, in proportion to the size of the animal, rather strong,
being equal to 1-1^ kilogrammes. Arch. Z. exper. (2) iii. 1885, pp. 189-210,

3. Organs of Digestion,

Mocquard continues and finishes his paper on the stomach of the
stalk-eyed Crustacea^ in Ann. Sci. Nat. (6) xvi. pp. 188-311, describing
at length that of Atya^ Caridina^ Rhychocinetes, Alpheus, Athanas^ Sippo-
lyte, several species of Palcemon^ Crangon^ NiJca, Mysis, Squilla, and Gono-
dactylus. He comes to the conclusion that in all the stalk-eyed Crustacea
the skeleton of the stomach shows the same plan of construction, and
varies only by changes in the form or in the relations of the single pieces,
by their coalescence or disappearance ; that no quite new piece is added
to the normal ones in any genus ; and that, even in the most degraded
forms, the homology of the pieces can be nearly always pointed out. The
really natural families, such as the Grapsidce^ Gelasimidce^ Leucosidccj
Paguridce, Palinuridce, Thalassinidce, Astacidce, Penceidce, and Atyidce,
show also a characteristic configuration in these hard pieces of the
stomach : for instance, Pinnoteres, Myctiris, and Doto are proved by this
test to approach the Gelasimidce ; Gonoplax belongs in this respect to the
Cancridce^ not to the Ocypodidce ; Litliodes approaches Birgus ; jDglea is
intimately allied neither to Porcellana nor to Galatea ; PasipTicea is to
be removed from the Palcemonidce and RhyncTiocinetes from the Penceidce,
The Macrura exhibit, concerning the armature of the stomach, more dis-
tinctly circumscribed families than the Brachyura ; the Anomura are
proved also by this test to be a quite artificial division. The author pro-
ceeds further to describe the muscles of the stomach and their action,
which he was able to observe in motion in fresh specimens of Steno-
rhynchus (p. 269) ; and, finally, he describes the stomatogastric nerves.

4. Organs of Circulation.

C. Claus describes the circulatory organs of the Mysidce and of many
genera of Macrura^ of Pagurus, Porcellana, and several Brachyura. He
states that in the Mysidce they are not so simple as has been hitherto
supposed, but very complicated, and corresponding to those of the Deca-
poda in many points ; the rather long heart extends beyond the somites
of the three pereiopods, and the arteries for the liver are unpaired and
have their origin in the lower wall of the heart. Concerning the Deca-
poda, the author dwells on the development of the circulatory organs in
their relations to the development of the whole body and its paired appen-
dages ; he urges, further, that a large quantity of blood, chiefly that con-
tained within the carapace, returns directly to the heart, without passing
through the gills, and that, although the continuity of the arteries may
be traced unto the smallest capillaries, yet between these and the veins
lacunar spaces exist ; the circulatory system is therefore not closed.

pp. 2 & 6, for “ Arb. z. Inst. Wiirzb. ” read “Arb. z. Inst. Wien.”]

5. Secretion.

The antennary gland in the Cytheridoe serves probably for the secre-
tion of a glutinous thread, by which it fixes itself to foreign bodies ;
observations on Elpidium hromeliarum : W. Muller, Arch. f. Nat. 1.
pp. 213-216.

6. Organs of Generation.

M. Weber describes the male and female sexual organs of Glypto-
notus sahini^ and their periodical changes. The orifices of the oviduct
are closed during one period, and are again opened at the next moult;
the lamellae of the breeding pouch are of very different size and develop-
ment at different periods. The same is the case with the male copula-
tory organs and the size of the antennae in the male. In ail blind Iso-
poda^ the olfactory organs in the antennae are remarkably well developed
in the males. Bijdr. Dierk. 1884, pp. 16-23 & 33, pis. i. fig. 11, ii.
figs. 13-16, & iii. figs. 21 & 22.

The genital organs of the Cypridce and Cytheridoe, male and female,
are compared, and their homologies made out ; a hitherto unknown
channel, belonging probably to a gland, in Cytheridea torva, stronger deve-
loped in earlier age, rather rudimentary in Cytherura gihha and Elpidium
hromeliarum, described ; the secondary sexual character of the paired
appendage between the first pair of ambulatory feet in the Cytheridoe
stated, it being only found in the males. W. Muller, Arch. f. Nat.

7. Development,

H. W. Conn examines the first stages of metamorphosis in several
Decapods, especially the larval skin which surrounds the young animal
when just hatched, and its differences from the Zoea stage. He compares
further the number and shape of the maxillipeds, antennae, and tail-spines
in the corresponding stages of different genera, as Panopceus, Callinectes,
Sesarma, Pinnoieres, and PencBus, and he comes to the conclusion that
all Decapods can be referred back to a form similar to the Proto-zoea, in
which the segments of the thorax, and probably of the abdomen, were
present, and whose antennae were locomotor organs ; but that in the
larval history of most living Decapods the Proto-zoea has become modi-
fied by the free life of the embryo, and the result has been the appearance
of a Zoea stage, which is widely different in different groups of Crustacea,
and which must be considered as a secondary larval modification, not as
an ancestral form, and is therefore not of very high systematic import-
ance. Stud. Biol. Lab. J. Hopkins Univ. iii. Xo. 1, pp. 1-27, pis. i. & ii.
[abstracts in Ann. N. H. (5) xiii. p. 152, and J. E. Micr. Soc. (2) iv.

p. 226.]

Gr. O.. Saks describes the Zoea stages of several Macrura of the north-
ern seas, e.g., that of Calocaris macandrece, Gebia, and Nephrops norvegicus
[title, vide supra]. Some notes concerning them, by C. Claus, Arb. z.
Inst. Wien, v. pp. 317 & 318, deal chiefly with the identification of several
larvae described by the latter.

0. Claus feels, by his researches into the circulatory organs of the
Decapoda, confirmed in the supposition that both the Stomapoda and
ScJiizopoda must be regarded as ancestral forms of the Decapoda, but
that the Zoea stage does not represent an ancestral form, which had
lived once as a full-grown animal, and he adduces, in favour of this view,
the presence of the thoracic ganglion-mass and the sternal artery in the
Zoea stage, before the segments of the thorax and its feet make their
appearance ; Arb. z. Inst. Wien, v. pp. 297 & 298.

Y. Delage describes the development of Sacculina carcini (Thomps.),
which begins with a Nauplius similar to that of the Girvipedia, but devoid
of a digestive tube. The second stage resembles the Gypridoe, with six pairs
of natatory appendages and a pair of sensory and prehensile antennae
by which it fixes itself on the host ; the abdomen is rudimentary, and
contains the ovary in a bifurcated appendage. The third stage, “ Kentro-
gone,” is quite peculiar ; it is derived only from the cephalic segment
of the Cypris stage, and consists of a chitinous bag-shaped envelope
which is prolonged into a hollow, arrow-like point, by which its contents —
that is to say, the ovary and an ectodermal membrane — are inoculated into
the host ; all other organs disappear. The next stage is an endo-para-

8 Crust,

sitic larva which forms its organs at the expense of the cellular parts
of the host, and nourishes itself by emitting root-like prolongations.
The first set of eggs is fecundated by peculiar males, which resemble the
Q/pr^s-like stage of the hermaphrodite individual. On account of this
development the author proposes a new Order for SaccuUna ^nd Pelto-
gaster, distinct from the Cirripedia, and to be named Kentrogonides.

Biological Observations.

G-. Brook has noted the number and dates of moulting and the cor-
responding size in several specimens of young Carcinus mcenas in the
3Iegalopa-st?ige, kept in confinement ; these are rather unequal, and do
not enable us to judge either the age of any particular specimen, or the
number of moultings from its size and form alone : Ann. N. H. (5) xiv.
pp. 202-207.

H. Dewitz confirms the statement made by Fredericq [Zool. Rec. xix.
Crust, p. 8] that the common crayfish, if strongly irritated, casts away
the claw (hand) ; boiling water, the flame of a spirit-lamp, or cutting off
a part of the claw by scissors, can provoke this reflex action. The spot
in which this self-amputation is done is always the same, between the
coxa and the basipodite. Biol. Centralbl. 1884, pp. 201 & 202.

0. Micha gives a note concerning the growth of the crayfish, compar-
ing his own observations with those made by Carbonnier, Souberain, and
others ; according to Micha, the newly -hatched, in July, measures
9 mm., at the end of the same year 20, in the second year 30, in the
third 40, in the fourth 60, in the fifth 80, in the seventh 100, in the tenth
125, in the thirtieth 170-200. Circ. deutsch. Fisch. Yer. 1884,
pp. 19-21.

Hakz and E. Leuckart came nearly at the same time, by examination
of diseased crayfishes, to the conclusion that endoparasitic fungi are the
true cause of the disease, and that the ovoid corpuscles accused by Y.
Linstow are normal histological elements in the crayfish. Z. Yer. Baiern,
Feb. 1884, and Circ. deutsch. Fisch. Yer. 1884, Xo. 3, April, pp. 62-65.

F. Hilgendorf recapitulates his researches on diseased crayfish in
1883 [see Zool. Eec. xx. Crust, p. 10] and 1884. He states that the amoe-
boid corpuscles, regarded by some as the cause, are normal histological
elements, and he found also mycelia of the genus Aphanoinyces in the
tail and other parts of diseased crayfishes ; further, he mentions another
parasite, Ecliinorhynchus polymorphus, and calls attention to the disease
ravaging the crayfishes of Upper Italy in 1863, which was attributed to the
presence of an external parasite, V aginicola. Circ. deutsch. Fisch. Yer.
1884, pp. 123-125.

The papers on the diseases of crayfish in Germany by M. v. D. Borne &

Cryptontscid^.

R. Kossmann gives an historical account of the knowledge of the
CryptoniscidcB^ a list of the known genera, and discusses some peculiari-
ties, combining his own new researches with those of other authors. All
individuals are probably protandric hermaphrodites ; that is to say, they
act as males in a larval stage, being then capable of free locomotion, and
as females in a later, sedentary, and parasitic stage of life. The cavity
in which the eggs are deposited and ripened is an invagination from the
outside of the body, and therefore the openings of the oviducts are in
this cavity. The so-called liver is in reality a digestive gland, in which
the food, that is to say, the blood of other Crustacea on which these
parasites feed, is contained and digested, the intestine becoming in the
parasitic stage more or less reduced. SB. Ak. Berl. 1884, pp. 457-473.
The genera are distinguished by him as follows : —

CLADOCERA.

C. L. Herrick’s final Report on the Crustacea of Minnesota gives
general descrip tious of and also partly figures not only some of the K.
American, but also of many European genera and species, partly taken
from European authors, with numerous biological and critical remarks,
so that it can serve as a manual for the knowledge of them generally.
The enemies of them are treated in the introduction, pp. 8-12 ; a phylo-
genetic pedigree of the genera is attempted, p. 15. In the following only
those species will be mentioned which are N. American, and have been
examined and more fully described by the author.

1. Baerois, J. Le developpement de Chelifer. C.R. xcix. pp. 1082
& 1083.

In the larval condition of Chelifer there are five pairs of limbs ; all the
future limbs exist, but are incompletely developed. There is a suctorial
stomach peculiar to the larval stage, which is shed when the creature
attains maturity. The nervous system consists of two bands, one in front
of and one behind suctorial stomach ; when the latter is shed the bands
become fused.

allied to the Arachnida.

Conclusions come to are — (1) It is possible to establish homologies
between the appendages and different parts of body in Arachnida and
other Arthropods. (2) Arachnida, placed between Tracheata and Limu-
lus on one side, and Crustacea on other, have no antennas. (3) In deve-
lopment of organs of digestion, vision, and respiration, they resemble
Myriopods and insect larvae. (4) In circulatory system and muscular
system they resemble Limulus (but Limulus is Crustacean in its respira-
tory system). (5) Scorpions are a more ancient form than Spiders. (6)
Tetrapneumones are more ancient than Dipneumones. (7) The append-
ages of Pycnogonids are comparable to those of Arachnida : so too are
their genital and digestive organs.

structure is essentially the same as that found by Hauser in Vespa, but
that it really consists of a great number of cells, not, as he thought, of
a single cell.

The respiratory organs of Scutigera have been described by Tomosvary
(33) ; those of the Symphyla and the Chilopoda, by Haase (15).

Tomosvary (34) describes the peculiar sense organs found in Lithobius,
Polyxenus, Pauropus, Glomeris, and Scutigera, which he fancies may be
of use in determining the meteorological conditions of the animal’s
surroundings.

Bolles-Lee (7) and Passerini (25 and 26) discuss the minute structure
of the integument in 7 genera of Myriopods.

Meinert (24) makes some remarks on the anatomy of the mouth-parts
in Scolopenclra, and Haase (16) on those of Scutigera.

Fan zago (11) describes the “nest’’ of a species of Geopliilus^
looks like a hollow ball of earth with a lens-shaped aperture ; he also
(12) describes a somewhat similar structure formed from earth by a
species of Scolopendra. In both these cases it seems as if the earth had
been stuck together by some viscous fluid. Such a fluid, Dewitz (10) has
found exuding from the foramina repugnatoria of Glomeris. Dewitz
thinks this fluid may be useful in stopping the animal from rolling far
if it loses its foothold ; but it seems more probable that it is used in
forming a nest.

Kennel (19) describes more fully the development of Peripatus, as
referred to in Zool. Rec. xx. Myr. p. 3.

species ; Costa (9), 2 new species from Sardinia.

Borre (3 and 4) gives lists of Belgian Glomeridce and Julidce. Latzel
(22) describes a new species from Belgium.

Gadeau de Kerville (13) gives a list of Myriopods from Normandy,
including new species.

Latzel (20 and 21) describes the Symphyla, Pauropoda, and Diplopoda
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ; many new species.

Seliwanoff (30) gives a list of Russian Myriopoda.

Plateau (27) mentions 4 species as found in Spain.

Karsch (18) describes a new species found in China.

Shufeldt (31) mentions Cermatia forceps as found near New Orleans,
U.S.

Scudder (29) finds that amongst ancient Myriopod forms divergencies
of structure were as great as amongst recent forms ; and that the der-
mal appendages were of a complex organization.

“ The compound eye is divided into two parts by a membrane which I

shall speak of as the memhrana hasilaris. The structures between this
membrane and the cornea are the crystalline cones and the great rods.
I regard all these as dioptric structures, and shall speak of the cornea,
and all the parts w'hich intervene between it and the membrana basi-
laris, as the Dioptron. I shall use the term great rod provisionally to
designate the complex structure between each cone and the membrana
basilaris, and segment of the dioptron for the parts, collectively, beneath
each corneal lens. Beneath the membrana basilaris I have discovered a
layer of bacilla, comparable in most respects with the rod and cone layer
of the vertebrate, in the place where Gottsche suggested such a structure
might exist. This layer is succeeded by others, similar to the nuclear
and molecular layers of the vertebrate eye. I shall speak of all these
structures as the Neuron. The existence of a continuous basilar mem-
brane, in some Arthropods at least, excludes the great rods from any
share in the nervous mechanism.” He then suggests ‘’the possibility
that the spindles of the great rods should be regarded as lenses of very
short focal lengths, but of great thickness, and that they form a second
refractive system, the anterior foci of which correspond with the sub-
corneal images, and the posterior foci with the bacillar layer of the
retina. . . . The anterior reflective system of each segment of the
dioptron consists of a comeal facet, a lenticulus . . . , and the ante-

rior face of the crystalline cone. These parts form a subcorneal image.,
which lies in the anterior focus of the posterior refractive system. The
posterior refractive system magnifles the subcorneal image, and erects
it, at its posterior focal plane, upon the bacilla of the neuron. . . .

The simple eyes of many larval Insects have a posterior' refractive sys-
tem, and afford a complete transition from a simple to a compound eye.”
The author then proceeds to describe the anatomy and functions of the
Dioptron and Neuron, after w'hich he discusses the development of the
compound eye, and the morphology of the eyes of Arthropods. For the
provisional classification, proposed for various modifications of Arthropod
eyes, the paper itself must be consulted. The author concludes with the
remark, “ It would appear therefore that the compound eye is to be
regarded as a collection of compound ocelli^ in which the tendency to close
union is greater nearer to the surface than in its deeper portion, the
optic nerves being the last parts to become fused into a single compound
structure.”

the mode of aeration. The author sums up his remarks as follows
“ The tracheae of Insects and similar organs are supported by chitinous
fibres which are crenulations accompanied by thickening of the chitinous
intima with which they remain continuous ; their dorsal fissure and
flexibility providing for the enlargement and reduction of the cavity ;
and the oxygenation of the tissues has its seat chiefly at the extremity of
the tracheal branches, and not by difiusion from the tracheal trunks into
the blood.'’

[Macloskie, G.] Gills of Insect Larvae. Psyche, iv. pp. 110-112.

The action of the tracheae is tidal rather than by peripheral capillary
circulation, and therefore the endings of the ramifications are found to
harmonize with their internal terminations along the nervous and
digestive tracts, and in other parts of the tissues which they supply.

Four-winged Insects (exclusive of ColeojJtera) may be divided into two
categories. In one, the two pairs of wings act simultaneously, though
separated (as in the bulk of the Ortkoj^tera and Neuroptera'), and in the
other they act as one pair only, being united by small hooks, a frenulum,
or by overlapping, with or without a longitudinal fold. The position
and action of the wings in flight (and sometimes also at rest) is discussed
in more or less detail as regards the Hemiptera, Lucanidee and other
Coleoptera, Ammophila, and Bibio. The wwiter cannot positively assign
any function to the legs in respect to flight. The plate represents the

The marhmgs of some larvce of the genera Smerhithus and Sphinx. —
The red spots which sometimes occur in Srnerinthus larvae have nothing
to do with coloured borders to the oblique stripes, and are perhaps a
declining character, and of doubtful utility. The white stripes in
Srnerinthus appear to have originated as enlargements of the shagreen
dots ; and the dorsal line represents the midrib of a leaf. The remains
of the subdorsal in the last stage, of Srnerinthus are co-ordinated to the
oblique stripes. The subdorsal, as pointed out by Weismann, has com-
paratively recently been displaced by the oblique lines in Smerinthus.
The ground colour in S. ocellatus, Linn., as suggested by Meldola, is

probably phylogenetic. Protective resemblance is gained by the changes
in colour before pupation. Sphinx is probably a later development than
Smerinthus. Various points relating to the larva of S. ligustri, Linn.,
are noticed.

Frotective attitudes in the larvce of Geometrce. — This section relates
chiefly to species of Ephyra.

The protective attitude of Notodonta ziczac, Linn., as an instance of simu-
lated angularity . — The markings on the larva are so arranged as to give
the effect of angular zigzags to perfectly round and even bends.

Notes upon the use and nature of the marlcings of a Nematus larva
(^Tenthredinidce).-^The larva of N. curtispina, Thoms., attaches itself to the
edge of a salloAV leaf where it has been eaten away, thus forming an artificial
edge ; and its colour and markings so assimilate it to the leaf that the
protective resemblance is complete, whether viewed from above or from
the side. The colouring of this larva is due to the internal organs.

Two hinds of protection hy resemhlance to surroundings, special and
general.

The significance of larval {cind pupal) dimorphism. — It is probable that
there are several explanations for as many forms of dimorphism.

The writer proposes to classify the Orders of Insects by the structure
of the thorax. In the higher Orders, the segments of the thorax arc
closely united, and form the greatest contrast to those of the abdomen ;
while in the lower Orders, the thoracic segments are less closely united.
On this principle he arranges the Orders as follows : — Lower Insects :
SchizotJioraca {Aptera, Ortlioptera, Dictyoptera \Pseudoneuroptera'\ Neuro~
ptera, Coleoptera, RhyncTiota). Higher Insects : Zygothoraca {Hymeno-
ptera, Diptera^ Lepkloptei'o). A diagram is added, shownngthe origin of
Insects from the Crustacea and Archipiera (?), and their subsequent diver-
gence.

The first portion of this paper treats of these appendages as secondarj^
sexual characters. As such, they exist only in the Dytiscidce, Carabidce,
Cicindelida\ Silphidce, Meloidce, and Hydrophilidce. The writer subse-
quently discusses their structure in several families of Coleoptera, as
well as in other Insects, v/here they serve for climbing purposes, and
reviews the opinions of previous authors relative to their mode of
action.

1881-84, pp. X. & 316, pis. i.-xiii.

This volume of Godman & Salvin’s great work is now completed. It
includes 1086 species of Cicindelidce and Carahidce, belonging to 154
genera. “ This is less than a tenth of the total number at present described
from the whole world, which cannot be much less than 12,000.” The
general characteristics and relations of the Central American Fauna are
discussed in a highly condensed manner, but at too great length to be
copied in extenso, and they do not admit of abridgment.

that this process removes a preservative substance which covers the

Many new genera and species are described in addition to those pre-
viously known. The writer regards the Trichopterygidce as probably the
most extensive family of Coleoptera. He arranges the tribes as follows,
placing the Tricopterygidce immediately after the Staphylinidce : — Hy-
droscaphina, Ti'ichopterygina, and Ptilina.

After discussing the affinities of this insect, the writer proposes to
refer it to an aberrant group of Prionidcz, with Parandra, Sypilus, and
Hysteria. Its structure and affinities are also discussed by Sharp &
Lameere (C.R. ent. Belg. xxviii. pp. cvii.-cxii., ccl.-cciv., cclxv.-cclxxii.,

life, and as having had a common origin with the subterranean
Cyrtognathince. {Cf. also Fairmaire, Le Nat. vi. pp. 397 & 398, fig. ;

Acta Ac. L.-C. Nat. cur. xlvi. pp. 43-132, pis. i.-vi.

The normal and aberrant neuration of many Hymenoptera is fully
discussed, and amply figured, while the results of the examination of
nearly 2000 individuals of various varieties of A'pis are tabulated. The
author regards the Siricidce as the most primitive of all Hymenoptera in
the structure of their wings. On the first plate, wings of Baetis
and Ephemera are placed beside those of various Hymenoptera^ for
comparison.

Amans, — . Etude de I’organe du vol chez les Hymenopteres. Eev.
Montp. (3) hi. pp. 485-522, pis. i. & ii.

Contains an elaborate description of the structure and action of the
wing and the adjacent parts in Sirex gigas and Xylocopa violacea. The
wing of Sirex is intermediate in structure between that of the Orthoptera
and of Xylocopa. Too little attention has been paid by previous authors
to the parts at the base of the wiug, which Amans regards as of great
importance.

After describing the endo-skeleton and the structure of the tongue,
and discussing the opinions of previous authors relative to the functions
of the tongue, the writer concludes that “the honey is drawn into the
mouth through the inside of the tongue by means of a complicated
pumping action of the tongue itself and its closely contiguous parts, and
not in any sense by lapping.”

Carlet, G. Sur les muscles de I’abdomen de I’Abeille. C.R. xcviii*
pp. 758 & 759.

These muscles may be divided into those of the dorsal, lateral, and
ventral regions. The dorsal include the aliform and the inner and outer
dorsal muscles, which latter are expiratory. The lateral muscles include
the outer and inner oblique, which are expiratory, and the transverse
muscles, which are inspiratory. The ventral muscles include the inner
and outer ventrals, which are expiratory, and the interventrals, which

AFID^.

Ins. 129

are inspiratory. It follows, therefore, that, with the exception of the
aliform muscles, which assist in circulation, all the abdominal muscles
aid in respiration, and consequently in sustaining the heat of the body.

Carlet has continued his researches on the venom of Hymenoptera,
and the structure of the sting and poison-glands. He finds that the
venom is always acid, although formed by the mixture of two fluids, one
strongly acid, and the other feebly alkaline. These are secreted by
separate glands, which discharge their contents at the base of the sheath
of the sting. In bees, the poison-bag is not retractile, but in addition
to the stylets, there is an accessory organ at their base resembling a
piston, which pumps the venom through the syringe-like canal by which
it is discharged into the wound.

The structure of the sting in Bombus resembles that of Avis ; and
the author describes it with special reference to the detailed account of
the latter by Kraepelin. It differs somewhat in different species of
Bombus, and may prove a useful aid in their determination.

(details).

In the commencement of this paper, the structure and affinities of the
various genera are discussed in detail, with the following results : —
JPsithyrus appears to bean offshoot from a Bomhus allied to B. lefehvrei ;
Stelis is an isolated form, apparently an offshoot of Anthidlum Ccelioxys,
Dioxys^ Nomada, and allies are similarly related to Megachile ; and
Sphecodes is nearly related to Halictus. In the second part, many
species are discussed at length, with reference to their variation, &c.,
and several new species are described. The following known species
are noticed : — Psithyrus riqjestris, Fabr., and var. vasco, Lep., cam-

Radoszkowsky, 0. Revision des armures copulatrices des males du
genre Bombus. Bull. IMosc. lix. (1) pp. 51-92, pi. i.-iv.

The genital armature of the males of Bombus is composed of four
principal parts : —

I. The penis, which is fleshy, obtuse at the extremity, and covered
by a hard semi-transparent plate {spatha).

II. Two sagittce, horny projections rising on each side of the penis.

III. Two forceps or hamuli, consisting of three portions : the stipa,
which forms the base of the forceps, the scale {sguama) above
the upper portion of the stipa, and the lacinia, or terminal
segment.

IV. The operculum genitale, composed of two overlapping parts
which cover the genital armature beneath.

In addition to these four principal parts, there is the basal portion, or
cardo.

The author then divides the species of Bombus into 11 groups, according
to the variations in the form of the genital armature. His remarks on
various species are not confined to this special subject; and he describes
several as new.

Cholodkowsky, N. Ueber die Hoden der Lepidopteren. Zool. Anz. vii.
pp. 564-568.

The writer has examined these organs in 150 species, and has ascer-
tained that they occur in four different systems, which he names and
defines as follows

(1.) Embryonal type. Two testes, with the seminal follicles quite
separate.

THE GENERAL SUBJECT.

Ins. 163

(2.) Larval type. Two testes, in which four follicles are invariably
enclosed by a common membrane.

(3.) Pupal type (first observable in the pupa state). A single testis,
constricted externally in the middle.

(4.) Imaginal type. A single testis, not constricted, in which the
follicles are mostly arranged round its longitudinal axis. (The
last arrangement is that met with in the majority of the species
examined.)

[CiiOLODKOWSKY, N.] Sur les vaisseaux de Malpighi chez les Lepi-
dopteres. C.R. xcviii. pp. 631-633.

Tineola hiselliella, Humm., and Blahophanes rusticella^ Hiibn., have only
two Malpighian vessels. All other known Lepidoptera have six, both in
the larva and imago ; Suckow’s statement that Pterophorus pentad actylus
and Hyponomeuta evonymella, Linn., had only four, being erroneous.
Cholodkowsky supposes that the (at present unexamined) larvae of the
2 exceptional species will prove to have six, and that the two vessels
of the imago are neomorphs ; also that the ancestral Tnsecta had only
two.

. Contributions a I’anatomie et la morphologie des vaisseaux mal-

pighiens des Lepidopteres. C.R. xcix. pp. 816-819.

After tracing the changes of these organs in the larva of Tineola
hiselliella, the writer proceeds to consider their structure in other Lepi-
doptera. Three types exist; —

(1.) Normal type. Six vessels (the most frequent arrangement in
nearly all Icpidoptera.')

(2.) Embryonic type. Two vessels ; occurring in Tinea pellionella,
Linn., and Blabophanes rusticella, Hiibn.

(3.) Abnormal type. Vessels forming a ramifying tree on each side.

morphologically different parts in the internal skeleton — (1) An entoske-
leton (the entodermal chorda and its products) ; and (2) a mesoskeleton
(Leydig’s chorda).

The maxillary palpi of 101 species are described. They are obsolete in
some species, but are usually from 1 to 6-jointed. Micvopteryx, has six
joints, and the number in the Micro- Lepidoptera is variable. In the
Cramhidce and JBotydidce they are 4-jointed ; in the Noctuce they are
generally 2-, but sometimes 3-jointed; in the Bombyces they are 2- or
1-jointed ; and in the Rhopalocera, Sphinges, and most of the Geometridce,
they are 1-jointed. Although in different species the maxillary palpi
vary much in position and in the character of their appendages, as well as
in the number of joints, yet all these characters are perfectly constant
within the same species.

LEPIDOPTEEA.

After numerous observations on the oviposition of Lepidoptera,
Standfuss (S. E. Z. xlv. p. 210) has arrived at the following conclusions :
— (1.) The sex is determined by the structure of the ovaries, and is
unaffected by fertilization. (2.) Male and female eggs are not laid
indiscriminately, but successively, commencing with a series of male eggs.
(3.) The number of male and female eggs laid by one female is usually
about equal, but with a slight excess in favour of the $ . (4.) These

rules, especially 1 and 3, probably hold good very extensively in the
animal kingdom.

Distant, Rhop. Mai. p. 197, divides the Malayan Lyccenidm into 3
groups, as follows : —

“ Posterior wings without filamentous tail-like appendages near the
anal angle Curetaria.

“ Posterior wings with minute filamentous or prominent tail-like

appendages near the anal angle.

“ Posterior wiogs convex, about as broad as long Castalaria.

“Posterior wings more or less elongate, distinctly longer than
broad Aphnaria.’’

The following genera are referred to these groups : —

After a general introduction, the author discusses the characters of
Dipterous larvae, and their systematic importance, and regards his pre-
vious views on the classification of the Diptera into two main sections,
according to the greater or less differentiation of the head of the larva, as
entirely confirmed by recent observations. He gives the following table
of the classification which he now proposes : —

Suborder I. ORTHORRHAPHA.

Sect. I. OrtJiorrhapTia nematocera.

Tribe i. Encephala.

Fam. Mycetophilidce, Bibionidce, Chironomidce, Culicidce, Blepha-
roceridce, Siniulidce, Psychodidce, Pty chapter idee, Phy~
phidee.

Tribe ii. Oligoneura.

Fam. Cecidomyidee.

Tribe iii. Polyneura.

Group 2. Heterodactyla.

(a.) Frocephala.

Fam. Midaidce, Apioceridce^ Asilidce, Bomhylidce.

(b.) Polytoma.

Fam. Therevidce^ Scenopinidce.

Tribe iii. Orthogenya.

Fam. Empidce^ DoluTiopodidce.

Suborder II. CYCLORRHAPHA.

Sect. I. Aschiza, Becher.

Sect. II. SchizopTiora^ Becher.

Tribe Eumyidce.

Group Schizometopa {Calyptrata, olim).

Group Holonietopa (^Acalyptrata and Conopidce, olim).

Tribe Pupipara.

This is followed by a table of the relationships of the various families,
proceeding from the lowest and oldest forms ; a tabular view of the
nervous system in Dipterous larvae and imagines ; a detailed statement of
the characters of the larvae of the various sections, extended in the
Stratiomyidce and CEstridce even to genera ; full descriptions of a few
imperfectly known larvae ; and a very full bibliography, classified in the
order of the subjects, and including occasional remarks on myasis, &c.

The retractile respiratory tube of the larva of Eristalis is shortened
by special muscles, and by elastic bands lodged in its interior. Each of
these elastic bands consists of a single cell constructed in such a way
as to perform the part of a thread of india-rubber, each cell con-
taining an elastic fibre (similar to those observed in the cervical ligament
of a mammal, for example), which is coiled many times round the nucleus.

they cannot be properly classed with either Order. He divides the entire
series of suctorial insects into two groups, the first, including Eymeno-
ptera and Lepidoptera^ being characterized by having the lower parts of
the mouth, maxillae, and labrum employed in the formation of a sucking
apparatus ; while in the second it is almost exclusively the upper parts
(labrum and mandibles) that are implicated in the formation of the true
food-canal. The second group includes the Orders Diptera^ Siphonaptera,
and RhyncTiota. The name Ptiphonaptera^ used by Latreille, is employed
for the Palicidce, the more usual name, Aphaniptera, being rejected as
inadmissible ; and its characters are given as follows : “ Insects with per-
fect metamorphosis. Head attached to the thorax by a wide surface ; no
facetted eyes. Buccal organs suctorial. Rostrum formed by a dorsal
and two lateral channels (labrum and mandibles), its anterior section
only more or less enclosed laterally by the multiarticulate terminal palpi
of the labium, and at the base, besides the latter, by the lamelliform
palpigerous maxillae. Salivary efferent ducts paired, developed as a
channel along the inner surface of the mandibles. No ‘ sucking stomach.’
Thoracic segments free, without wings or halteres, with pleural pro-
cesses upon the last two segments.”

A list of 78 species, with local remarks (no new species described).
All but 7 belong to the LimnopTiilidce as generally accepted ; but a new
family or subfamily, Apataniidce, is indicated, which absorbs 4 species
{Apatania), but no reasons for this subdivision are given. The
sequence and nomenclature followed is usually that adopted by
McLachlan, but with a few exceptions, and notably concerning
certain Linnean species, into a discussion of which the author re-
enters at length, in opposition to McLachlan and Hagen ; the remarks
occupy pp. 129-138, and a full translation in French is given
at pp. 211-222. As a result of his arguments, the author maintains
his former position, viz., that Phryganea grisea, L., is Limnophilus
stigma, Curt, (the arguments occupying pp. 211-216); P. himaculata,lj.,
is L. griseus, auct. ; and P. fiava, L., is L. centralis, Curt. The paper is

This memoir was foreshadowed in Zool. Rec. xx. Ins. p. 255. It com-
mences with prefatory notes, followed by bibliographical record to date.
Then follows a dissertation on the systematic position and form of
Ant Lion larvae, in the course of which a remark is made that the pre-
sence or absence of certain hairs on and between the teeth of the man-
dibles appears to be a tolerably safe guide as to whether the larvae form
pits or not. The modes of life form another chapter. It appears that the
majority of the larvae that do not form pits move backwards and forwards,
whereas the pit-forming larvae usually move only backwards. A few words
are devoted to Hymenopterous parasites. An attempt at grouping the
larvae into seven divisions is made. In all, 36 species are noticed, some
few second hand, and many not determined. The following larvae are
figured, either wholly or in detail only, viz. : — PI. i., Dendroleon pantTie-
rinus, Palpares cephalotes (?), and P. libelluloides ; pi. ii., Acanthaclisis
occitanica and bcetica, and Formicaleo tetragrammicus ; pi iii., Creagris
plumbeus (?), Myrmeccdurus trigrammus ^ and M. sp. ; pi. iv., Macrone-

round the simple antennae of the female ; but in the (new) species on

place between young and small individuals, and the curious formation
disappears in the antennse of large males ; the male lies back to back with
the female, the former being uppermost, but they jump often ; notwith-
standing repeated and prolonged observation, he was never able to see
any direct genital action. Pt. ii. (pp, 10-19) is occupied by a very
lengthy memoir “ Sur la fonction du tube ventral du SmintJmrus,^'' and,
as a result of his observations, he is of opinion that the essential aim of
this tube is to cause to enter (conjointly with the mouth) into the body
of the animal the drop of water which, by aid of the claws constructed
for the purpose, is obtained by friction from the surface of the body,
where the moisture is collected from the atmosphere by the hygroscopic
action of the hairs. Pt. iii. (p. 20) is occupied by diagnoses of two new
species.

works of previous authors, he enters minutely into the anatomy of the
sexual organs in both sexes, with the morphological results and deduc-
tions therefrom. These insects form the exception in having the male
sexual organs double from beginning to end. The plates are entirely
anatomical, and the details are drawn from the genera Palingenia, Hep-

Forjicula auricularia as an enemy of Pulex. G. Dimmock, Psyche, iv.
p. 186, has some curious remarks on this subject. A specimen confined
in a small enclosure about 5 cm. in diameter, devoured a large number of
fleas and other insects. No notice was taken of a flea unless it touched
the earwig, when the latter would excitedly chase the flea and capture it
by the mouth parts.

Concerns the discovery of an enormous Carboniferous fossil insect to
which the author gives the name of Dictyoneura goldenhergi, and another
termed D. fayoli. The author considers that the ‘‘ Phasmiens ” were
represented in the Carboniferous epoch by enormous insects of analogous
type, but differing in the wings, the “ Protophasmiens,” and of a group
already designated PalxEodictyopteva by Goidenberg. These ancient
insects were not less than 50 cm. long, with 70 cm. of expanse of wings.

The subject is also alluded to in Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) iv. pp. cli.-cliii.,

are diagnosed, and also tabulated under each genus. The memoir con-
cludes with a list of species, and explanation of the plates, on which the
numbering of the figures is continuous, and many of the figures are from
already described species, mostly in details of external anatomy.

Pp. 5-38 are occupied by generalities on the external anatomy of the
insects, including a minute discussion of the organs of flight (explained
by woodcuts), and a comparative table of the nomenclature of nervures,
&c., as used by different authors. Then follows (pp. 39 & 40) a discus-
sion of the “ tribe ” OEdipodii^ which is considered very closely allied to
the Tryxalii, the two forming the “family” CEdipodidce. Pp. 41-63
(with some corrections and emendations at pp. 154 & 192) consist of a
generic table in which the “ tribe ” is divided into 3 “ stirpes,” viz. : —
(Edipoda^ Thrincus, and Eremobia. The rest of the memoir (excepting

The author has selected DrepanosipJium (^Aphis) platanoides^ Schrank,
as a typical species, and describes his materials and method of investiga-
tion ; the development of the viviparous female in the mother ; its
postembryonic development ; the development of the oviparous $ and of
the $ ,and that of the viviparous $ from the winter egg. The observations
of previous authors are noticed throughout ; and a short bibliography of
publications on the development of insects is appended.

The larvse undergo 5 moults before arriving at maturity. The various
forms of males and females differ considerably in the larval as well as
in the perfect state. Intermediate forms are of occasional occurrence.
Good figures are appended to the paper.

paren Aphiden. Zool. Anz. vii. pp. 292-296 ; translated by Dallas,
Ann. N. H. (2) xiv. pp. 54-58.

The pseudovum possesses no chorion, but only a vitelline membrane.
In the S-shaped germinal streak, the upper curve turned to the right
represents the rudiment of the abdomen, and the intermediate part con-
tains the material for the formation of the head and thorax ; the limbs
take their origin from a special superficial layer, which is a part of the
blastoderm which at a very early period fuses with the true germinal streak.
Besides the two vertex plates, a median plate (which is named the man-
dibular plate, as the mandibles are formed from it) is produced from the
ventral part of the cephalic hood. From the rudiments of the mandibles
and first maxillae originate the retort-shaped bodies which are visible on
each side of the head in the embryo, thus bringing the parts of the mouth
of the Aphides into homology with the corresponding organs in other
insects. Witlaczil’s view, according to which the green cell-mass in the
abdomen of the viviparous Aphides represents the Malpighian vessels of
other insects, is unhesitatingly adopted by the author.

Treats of the structure, habits, classification, &c., of the Coccidce in
general, and of the species of economic value in particular. The history,
chemistry, &c., of the latter are discussed ; but the paper apparently con-
tains little original, nor are the woodcuts new. The following species are
discussed in greater detail : Ceroplastes rusci and ceriferus, Ericeriis pe-la,
Carteria lacca, larrece, mexicana, Kermes vermileo, Gossyparia manniferus.
Coccus cacti, Llaveia axinus, Porphyrophora polonica and hameli. A
bibliography is added.

General Morphology op the Group, &c.

Carpenter (9) and Sladen (27) have made interesting contributions to
the important question of the homologies of the apical plates of Echino-
derms. Sladen directs attention to the more or less marked centrifugal
movement of the plates, and points out that there are two sets which are
natural — the basi-oral or inter-radial, and the radio-terminal or radial
series. These are discussed and compared in the different classes. He
is of opinion that the Ophiurids had a Crinoidal ancestor, which was
more highly developed than that of the Asterids, and that these two
classes have advanced along collateral lines of descent ; their terminal
plates have, apparently, no homologues in the Crinoids. Carpenter urges
objections to the idea that the underbasals represent the dorso-central of
the young Echinid, and points out that in Marsupites^ as well as some
Asterids and Ophiurids, there is a dorso-central plate in addition to the
underbasals.

The most important contribution to the morphology of the Echinoidea

4 Ech.

EOHINODEKMATA.

is that of Loven (20), who has subjected to a searching inves-

tigation. The following are some of the results : —

(1.) Though difficult of detection, the bilateral symmetry of the Cida-
ridce is to be demonstrated.

(2.) Pourtalesia appears to have suffered a forward movement of the
dorsal portion of the body, the result of which is the formation
of a rostrum.

(3.) Two of the interradii unite in the middle line, and so form a
continuous broad ring around the middle of the body.

(4.) The peristome gives indications of the formation of an oral
cavity.

(5.) The sphseridia are absent from ambulacrum No. lii., and, as this
is raised above the level of the peristome, we have reason for
thinking that these organs stand in relation to the testing of
food.

(G.) The structure of the pedicels is discussed in great detail.

(7.) The morphology of the calycinal system is again discussed, and
the lessons to be learnt from Tiarechinus pointed out.

(8.) There are some speculations on the origin of the deep-sea fauna.

W. B. Carpenter (12) gives an interesting account of the morphological
and physiological discoveries by which his view of the peculiar disposi-
tion of the Crinoid nervous system is shown to be correct. The experi-
ments of Marshall (21) have confirmed and extended his earlier observa-
tions, and, with those of Jickeli (17), put on the firm basis of physiological
experiment the doctrine that the axial cord is nervous in nature. [See
also on this subject, J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) iv. pp. 501 & 502.] Marshall
suggests that the morphological difficulty is to be got over by regarding
the antambulacral nervous system as being derived from the antambu-
lacral portion of the primitive nerve-sheath which invested the Echino-
derm-body. Jickeli thinks that the tentacles are not, as Ludwig sup-
posed, glandular, but that they are sensory in function. Marshall has,
further, been able to make some observations on the regeneration of the
visceral mass.

Viguier (29) supports the views of Perrier as to Echinoderms being
colonies, formed of five reproductive grouped around a nutrient indi-
vidual ; and relies on observations on arms which, after having been
broken, had reappeared in a bifurcated form.

On the history of our knowledge of the power of reproduction of
Starfishes, see Von Martens, SB. nat. Fr. 1884, p. 25.

On the morphology of the lateral rods of the Ophiurid see J. W.

Fewkes, Am. Nat. xviii. p. 431.

Essl, Programm des k. k. deut. Staats Gymnasium in Budweis, 1883
(pp. 1-31, 1 pi.), 1884 (pp. 1-15).

The functions and characters of the Cuvierian organs are discussed by
Bell (5), who describes various experiments on the threads. For personal
observation as to the stickiness of their secretion, see A. Fisher (Nature,
XXX. p. 193) ; a colouring matter not unlike antedonin was found in
H. nigra] see also Nature, xxx. pp. 146 & 335.

The first part of P. H. Carpenter’s report (8) on the Crinoidea col-
lected by the ‘ Challenger ’ deals with the general morphology of the
group, of which an exhaustive account is given, and describes in detail
the stalked forms. It is a complete and elaborate monograph of the
subject, and enters fully into the microscopic as well as the macroscopic
anatomy of the forms considered ; the relations of recent to extinct forms
are carefully pointed out. The classification of the Pelmatozoa is dis-
cussed historically, and by the light of recent investigations. It is well
and fully illustrated. In an appendix various modern problems ave
discussed, and the work is brought completely up to date. Every student
of Echinoderms will make himself acquainted with this report, to which
there is appended a full bibliography of the Neocrinoidea.

Perrier (25) divides the life-history of Comatula uito three stages, which
he terras the eystidean, the pentacrinoid, and the comatulid. Some of the
statements of Perrier — such as that the plexiform gland of Crinoids
(25a) corresponds with the stone-canal of Asterids and Echinids — are
criticized by Carpenter (10).

Bell (6) raises doubts as to the correctness of the theory of the deter-
minate growth of Cidarid spines, and shows that the interior grows faster
than the enveloping crust.

Danielssen & Koren (13) have published a connected and magnificently

Expedition, of which preliminary notices have already been published.

Perrier (24), while accepting Viguier’s classification of Asterids as
“ Stellerides ambulacraires ” and “ S. adambulacraires,” reasserts his
belief in the value of the pedicellariae as an aid to classification. He
recognizes four orders : —

I. Stelleridce forcipulatce, with the families Brisingidce, Pedicellas-
teridce, and Asteriidce.

II. S. echinulatee, with Echinasteridce, Solasteridce, Fterasteridce, and

HOLOTHUROIDEA.

Bell (4) proposes a re-arrangement of the genera of the Dendrochiro-
tous Holothurians, as he believes that the disposition of the ambulacral
suckers offers a less certain basis than was supposed ; he has three series,
(a) stichopod, (3) sporadipod, (7) armed ; and three grades, according as
there are ten equal tentacles,. eight large and two small, or ten large and
ten small (with variations).

Anatomy and Development.

The important work of Lang (10) is a complete monograph of the
group of Turbellarians of which it treats ; the various organs are dealt
with in succession, and the historical, no less than the anatomical, view
is complete. There is a full history of development, a discussion of the
various views as to classification, an account of geographical distribution
and habits, and an essay on the phylogenetic relations of Poly clads.
The difficulties of accepting the derivation of these worms from the
Coelenterates is pointed out the Tri clads .are believed to have, been

Nemertinea is hinted at.

polychroa^ and Folycelis tenuis^ sp. n.

Barthelemy (1) believes that the chlorophyll corpuscles ot Convoluta
schultzii are due to a symbiotic Alya, and not to the deposition of chloro-
phyll in the animal, as was thought by Geddes ; the latter’s observations
are ciiticized,

Gaffron (6) gives a full account of the nervous system of Distomum
isostomum, and describes six longitudinal trunks, connected by a compli-
cated system of commissures.

The new genus described by Fischer (oa) is remarkable for the cha-
racters of its generative organs, and for the fact of their orifice being
placed at the hinder end of the body.

Biehringer (2) deals chiefly with the sporocyst-stages ; he has examined
Cercaria armata, C. macrocerca, C. micrura, C. acerca, sp. n. (from OiicTii-
dium carpenteri), and Bucephalus poly mor plats. The life history of a Tre-
matode is regarded as an example of alternation of generation.

Anatomy and DEVELorMENT.

Polygordius has been investigated by Fraipont (47 & 48), who finds
that the two halves of the ventral nerve-cord are closely united, as in
higher Annelids, but that, like that of Protodrilus, it retains its embryonic
position ; the cerebral ganglia are more concentrated and isolated than in
Saccocirrus. The head-kidney has been accurately described by Hatschek ;
Fraipont thinks that the excretory infundibula of the larva have no close
or real resemblance to those of Rotifers, Trematodes, or Cestodes ; there
is an instructive resemblance between Echiumis and Polygordius.

Foettinger (46) describes in detail the structure of Histriohdella liomari^
which he removes fi’om the Leeches, and calls Histriodrilus henedeni\ he
modifies Hatschek’s classification, regarding the Himdinea as Platyhel-
minths, and proposes the following modified scheme : —
rl Ordre — ( Polygordides.

\ Archiannelides . ( Histriodrilides.

Aiinelides % o n f Saccocirrides (Archichetopodes).

The investigations of Orley (58) into the minute structure of the gills
of Serpulids point to the opercular plate, which is a modification of some
of the gill-threads, having a respiratory function ; it is richly supplied
with capillaries. There is no reason for suspecting either homology or
analogy with the gills of vertebrates. The colours (59) of these worms
have no sexual significance or defensive value, and it is probable that
they have some relation to respiratory processes.

Pruvot (61) describes in Hyalincccia tiibicola a “ventricle” which com-
municates with the body cavity. Jourdan (51) insists on the intimate
relation between nerve-cells and fibres, and the hypodermic epithelial
cells.

The otocysts of Arenicola grubii are described by Jourdan (50).

Viguier (64) discusses the characters and developmental history of
Exogone gemmifera, Sphcerosyllis piri/era, Syllides pulliger, and Grubea
Imbata.

pp. 89-91.

Bergh (41) describes the provisional body-wall of NepTielis as being
cast off during development ; nearly the whole of the body of the adult is
formed from the fused head- and trunk-germs.

The elaborate and beautifully illustrated paper of Bourne (43) is of
great importance for the anatomy of the Hirudinea ; the differences
between the Rhyncohdellidce and the G nathohdellidm are pointed out, and
the systematic position of the whole group discussed ; he thinks it impos-
sible to decide whether they are more highly developed Triclada or
degenerate Chgetopods, and the resolution of the question must be
deferred till we know how the coelom is developed in them and in Platy-
helrainths.

Whitman (67) gives a careful definition of the genus Hiriido, and
describes the segmental sense-organs, which he regards as being serially
homologous with the eyes. Attention is directed to the mode of abbre-
viation of the somites.

Haycraft (P. R. Soc. xxxvi. pp. 478-487) finds that the leech secretes
from its mouth a fluid which, while destroying the ferment, produces no
other change in the blood.

Graff (69) alters the definition he formerly gave of the Myzostomida,
so as to admit Stelechopus, in which the alimentary canal is straight,
and which is devoid of suckers and of male genital apertures. The first
(new) family, Stelechopidce, contains only Stelechopus hyocrini, g. & sp. nn. ;
the second, or Myzostomidce, contains the following new species : —

Myzostoma horologium, longipes, chinesicum, lahiatum, echinus, pli-
catum, ruhrofasciatum, testudo, luetkeni, marginatum, hrevipes, areolatum,
coriaceum, radiatum, calycotyle, compressum, hrevicirrum, pictum, nigre-

deformator, cysticolum, tenuispinum, willemcesii, infiator, murrayi.
Myzostoma alatum, pulvinar, carpenteri, spp. nn. (70).

Beard (68) finds three stages in the larval history of Myzostoma,
describes the appearance and loss of the provisional setae, and the changes
undergone when the free larva passes to its Crinoid host ; the parasite
appears to be a Chaetopod which has undergone degeneration, owing to
its mode of life.

Balanoglossus, especially in relation to the mode of development of the
central nervous system and of the mesoblastic somites.

Spengel (72) describes various parts of the adult Balanoglossus ; the
proboscis is the chief locomotor organ, its small cavity communicates with
the exterior by one or two pores ; the so-called heart cannot be shown to
have any relation to the blood- vascular system ; the branchial pouches
have a more complicated structure in B. minutus and B. claviger than in
B. hupffei'i and B. kovalevskii.

Morphology^ Special and General.

Haeckel (34) describes a number of Gastrceadce from the ‘ Challenger ’
collections. Organisms which surround themselves with a cemented skele-
ton of Eadiolaria, &C., may be either Protozoa (colossal Lohosce or Thala-
mophora) or Metazoa. The latter form two groups ; the first are the
simplest, with a thin solid body-wall, may be simple {Salipliysema)^
branched {Dendrophysema'), or plexiform (^Clathrop)hysema) ; the second
group, C(Bmentaria, possess a blind system of endodermal canals, more or
less lined with fiagellate cells ; the ova are endodermal in origin. They
may be simple tubes with a single orifice [C(Ementascus) ; those with
several mouths (but no pores) maybe irregular in form {Ccementoncus),
dendritic {Ccementura), or in fiat lobate crusts (^Gcementissa). [Remember-
ing the criticisms on ^sdckeV sHaliphysema — cf. S. Kent, Ann. N. H. (5)
ii. p. 68, and E. R. Lankester, Q. J. Micr. Sci. (n.s.) xix. p. 476 — these
statements must be accepted with caution.]

Lendenfeld (48, 50) describes in the polyps of Sarsia radiata the first
recorded instance of a well-developed flexor muscle in any hy droid ; “by
means of this muscle, the polyp is enabled to bend downward, and shut
up, as it were, like a penknife ” (p. 583).

Klaatsch (41) has minutely studied Clytia joJinstoni at Villafranca,
and finds that the perisarc is formed by a chitinisation of the epidermic
layer of the ectoderm. The external ectodermal epithelium of the

tentacles and body is reflected at the proximal end of the stomach, and
passes directly into the calyx, thus the ectodermal lining of the stem is
a continuation of the interstitial cells (middle zone), the outer layer being
completely chitinised.

The histology of Siphonophores has at last been carefully studied by
Korotneff (42). The processes of the “ neuro-muscular ’’ and musculo-
epithelial ” cells are usually of great length. Sense- and nerve-cells of the
ordinary Coelenterate type occur ; the nerve-fibres are often collected in
bundles ; each fibre, which extends throughout the whole length, is com-
posed of extraordinarily fine fibrils, and is surrounded by a nucleated
plasma ; the bundle of fibrils corresponds to an axis cylinder, and the
plasma to a sheath. Figures are givenlj illustrating the formation of the
endoderm lamella in a nectocalyx.

There is a short abstract in Nature, xxix. p. 202, of Agassiz’s Memoir
on the Porpitidce and Velellidce, \cf. Zool. Rec. xx. Ccel. p. 1].

Bedot (3-5) gives details concerning the so-called “iliver” in Velella,
and shows that only a portion of that organ is secretory, the lower por-
tion being crowded with thread-cells.

Conn & Beyer (12) have a paper on the nervous system of Porpita.

Faurot (20) describes the macroscopic anatomy of PeacTiia hastata^
Gosse. Two of the twelve mesenteries unite to form apgrooved organ,
which ends at the mouth in a prominent lip, and opens internally near
the end of the body, which is stated to possess a terminal aperture. The
arrangement of the muscular bands is described.

Ridley (68, p. 356) describes for the first time the existence of two
forms of zooids in a member of the family Melithceidce.

A. Sedgwick, in a suggestive paper “ On the Origin of Metameric Seg-
mentation, and some other Morphological Questions ” [Q. J. Micr. Sci.
(n.s.) xxiv, pp. 43-82, pis. ii. & lii.], homologises the mouth of the
common ancestor of the higher Metazoa with the elongated opening of
the Actinozoa, the archenteric diverticula with the gut pouches of Coelen-
terates, and the longitudinal canal of the nephridia with the circular
canal of Medasce and with the perforations in the mesenteries of Actino-
zoa, and the external nephridial orifices with the pores in the body-wall
of Coelenterata. Coelenterata and segmental animals arose from a com-
mon ancestor, not the latter from the former. A description of this
common ancestor is given on p. 57. The homology of the blastopore
with the Coelenterate mouth is discussed in detail ; both are shown to
occur on the neural aspect of the body. The differentiation of the Actino-
zoon mouth into ingestive orifice and siphonoglyphe is referred to, and
allusion is made to Peachia [sp. not stated, cf. Faurot (antey]^ which
is compared with the elongated, dumb-bell shaped blastopore of Peri-
patus. The other propositions are worked out with a certain amount of
detail.

A few histological details of Coelenterata will be found in “ La Biologie
Cellulaire” ; J. B. Carnoy. J. van In & Cie., Lierre, 1884.

Herdman (37) gives the first account of the internal anatomy of Sarco-
dictyon.

Physiology.

Wilson (77) has made the remarkable discovery that the two dorsal
mesenterial filaments of Alcyonarians are not homologous with the six
ventral ; they are prolongations from the epiblast of the oesophagus, and
by the action of their numerous cilia cause upward currents of the fluids
in the body, and apparently they are non-digestive. The other mesen-
terial filaments are of endodermal origin, and form the sole digestive
areas of the animal ; they closely surround food which has been intro-
duced into the body, the ultimate digestion being intracellular. As a
general rule, the dorsal filaments are the last to appear in embryos, but
the first in buds. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relations
of the Anthozoa to the Enievocoda. \_Cf. Sedgwick, Morphology, ante.']
Haacke (33) calls attention to the fact that he had previously (1879)
published on the mesenterial filaments of Xenia and Sympodium.

E. MetschnikofE’s valuable paper on ‘‘ Researches on the Intracellular
Digestion of Invertebrates” [Arb. z. Inst. Wien, v. (1883), pp. 141-169,
pis. xiii. & xiv.] has been translated in Q. J. Micr. Sci. (n.s.) xxiv.
pp. 89-111. He proves that ectodermal intracellular ingestion occurs in
the nematocalyces of Plumularia setacea, Ell., and P. halecioides, ? ; the
ectoderm cells of these structures form a kind of plasmodium, which
ingests foreign particles and even eats up the dying hydranths ; the
so-called nematocalyces must therefore be classed as prophylactic organs.
Probably the peculiar organs of Eudendrium racemosuni and the tendrils
of Campanidaria angulata serve a similar function. The ectoderm of
the tentacles of Actinia inesembryantheinuin, and that of the body-wall of
larval Bimodes sabelloides, Andr., take in a large quantity of foreign par-
ticles by means of short pseudopodia. The ectodermal ovarian ova of
Tubularia and Hydra digest the neighbouring cells. Mesodermal intra-
cellular digestion. — Many ovarian ova of Aurelia aiirita were seen to be
surrounded and completely devoured by amoeboid cells. In Ctenophores,
carmine granules and empty thread-cells may pass into the mesoderm
cells. The origin of Metazoa from Protozoa is also discussed.

Reproduction.

Weismann (76) gives a summary of his researches on the migration of
the sexual cell in Hy droids [cf. Zool. Rec. xx. Ccel. p. 4].

Hartlaub (35, 36) shows that male and female germ-cells arise from the
ectoderm of the manubrium in Obelia.^ migrating later into the endoderm.

Keller (38) states that the generative glands of OrchUtoma agaraci-
forme, sp. n., arise as gastric diverticula, and not from the canals.

Quelch (66) has discovered generative ampullae in Millepora murrayi
similar to those of the Stylasteridce., and suggests that the Hydrocorallince
may be more nearly related to the calyptoblastic than to the gymno-
blastic Hydroids.

Brooks (9) describes the life-history of Eutima. The endoderm is
formed by delamination of the ectoderm, especially at one end. Thes
embryo becomes a hydrorhiza ; the first hydranth is formed as a bud.

CCELENTERATA.

Bourne (6, 7) has found a minute Hydroid on the roots of Pontederia
from S. America, in the tank of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Regent’s
Park, on November 27th, which there is every reason to believe is the
hydroid stage of Liranocodium sowerbii. It is a very rudimentary polyp,
without any tentacles, the largest reaching ^ inch in height. If the identi-
fication is correct, it is the first time a hydroid phase has been demon-
strated for any of the Trachomedusce. Mr. F. A. Parsons [J. R. Micr.
Soc. (2) V. p. 168] had previously discovered it in April, but was unable
to identify it.

The developmental history of an example of the family of the Versuridoe
was, for the first time, investigated by Claus (11) in 1883 ; and now
Lendenfeld (46, 52) describes some of the stages of Phyllorhiza punctata.
At the stage of 15 mm. diameter there are two marginal bodies (sense-
organs) similar to and between each of the usual eight in the radii of the
second and fourth order: at a stage of 30 mm. diameter there is only
one intermediate marginal body in the radius of the third order, the
other two having disappeared ; finally only the eight primaries persist.
Thus the marginal bodies decrease in number with the age of the larva
(24-16-8). The margin of the umbrella of the adult retains the power
of developing irregular marginal bodies when injured.

Kowalevsky (44) gives an incomplete account of the development of
Lueernaria.

The development of selected examples of the Coelenterates has been
illustrated in the valuable series now emanating from the Museum of Cam-
parative Zoology, Harvard (21, 23). Most of the figures are taken from
well-known sources ; a few are original, amongst the most interesting of
which are those illustrating the development of two species of Pdv^ardsia
(p. 43, pi. xii.), one being parasitic in its earlier stages in Mnemiopsis
leidyi^ which will shortly be fully described by E. L. Mark.

General Biology.

To the other known Coelenterates in which symbiotic algae occur, Brandt
(8) adds Paralcyonium elegans and Aiptasia turgida. Fresh proof is given
that the “ phytozoa,” or hosts, feed upon the assimilative products of the
algae ; but Yon Graff (27), from experiments on Hydra viridis^ concludes
that the “ algae,” or “ pseudo-chlorophyll ” bodies, do not serve for the
nutrition of the polyps.

Von Lendenfeld (56) points out that Cramhessa mosaica, H., always
occurs in Melbourne of a deep blue colour and never shows a trace of
ZooxantJiellce, whereas the Sydney form has a variable brown colour and
always contains great quantities of symbiotic alg£e. He names the former
Cramhessa mosaica conservativa., var. n., and the latter 0. m. symbiotica,
var. n. Huxley was the latest (1845) of several authors who describe the
Sydney form as blue to grey. “ Have we to assume that a new species
or variety has been produced within the last forty years ? ” Local colour
varieties of Cyanca annashala, R. von, L., also occur in Port Phillip ((7.
a. purpurea, var. n.) and Port Jackson (C. a. marginata, var. n.).

Guppy, in a letter (29), contributes to the problem of the formation of
coral reefs. He finds in the Shortlands Islands, Solomon group, that of the
small calcareous islands, some are entirely composed of coral detritus, sand,
and shells by recent wave action ; the others consist of a comparatively
thin crust of coral limestone on an impure earthy limestone, largely
denuded by atmospheric agencies.

Yerrill (73), from the fact that so many Anthozoa from deep water are
brightly-coloured, believes that more or less sunlight does actually pene-
trate to the greatest depths (down to 3000 fathoms) of the ocean in the
form of a soft sea-green light. He also refers to the phosphorescence of
many Coelenterates as being protective, to warn other animals of their
power of stinging, a view which Meldola (58) had previously expressed.

S. J. Smith, in a report on Decapod Crustacea from N.E. America, U. S.
Fish. Comm. Rep. x. (for 1882) 1884, indicates (p. 354) the frequency of
Actimce commensal with Hermit Crabs ; he refers to Epizoanthus ameri-
canus, Verr. (pi. iv. fig. 1), E. paguripMlus, Yerr., E. sp. incert., ? sp. n.,
and Urticina consors^ Yerr.

Y. Hensen, in a paper on fish- eggs from the Baltic, U. S. Fish Comm.
Rep. X. (for 1882) 1884, p. 451 [translated from the German Commission,
1883], describes the destruction of pelagic fish-eggs in large numbers by
Sarsia tiibulosa and other Medusce.

Fewkes (22, pp. 302-305) gives an account of the relations of Cunina
to Glossocodon, and compares a free colony of the former to a Siphono-
phore. C. Morris discusses colonial organisms in Am. Nat. xviii.
pp. 140-149 & 240-249.

Keller (38) believes that Cotylorhiza tuberculata is a deep-sea form
which comes to the surface to breed.

Yon Lendenfeld, P. Linn. Soc. N. S. 'W. ix. *pp. 256-258, has a short
note upon methods of preserving Coelenterates. A. H. Breckenfeld, Am.

CLASSIFICATION.

Ccel 12

In this first part of his exhaustive monograph, Andres (1) has given
us a complete bibliography from Aristotle to 1882, chronological and
alphabetical. The Introduction gives a sufficient account of the struc-
ture to enable a student to understand any ordinary description. The
following is condensed from his synoptic classification of the seven
families [sic] of the Actiniaria : —

I. Actiniaria single or compound, not free- swimming.

Disc more or less covered with tentacles, but leaving the lips
naked.

Body-wall soft. Individuals almost always isolated.

Column sulcated longitudinally by eight invections.
Edwardsin^ : Edwardsidse.

Column smooth, rugose, or sulcated, never less than twelve
invections.

Tentacles disposed in circles, simple.

Actininje : Halcampidae, Siphonactinidse,
Phellidse, Sagartidm, Actinidae, Bunodidse,
Cereactidae, Ilyanthidae, Mesacmaeidae,
Heteractidae, Paractidae.

Tentacles in radial series, frondose, rarely simple.

Stichodactylin^'E: Corynactidae,Discosomidae,
Aurelianidae, Phymanthidae,^^ Rhodactidae,
Phyllactidae, Crambactidae, Heteractidae.
Tentacles very large, covered with secondary tentacles.

Thalassianthin^e : Thalassianthidae, Sarco-
phianthidae.

Body-wall invested with, sometimes penetrated by, hetero-
geneous material.

Individuals almost always united in colonies.

ZoANTHiN^ : Zoanthidae, Sphenopidee.

Disc furnished with tentacles, which occur on the lips.

Cerianthin^ : Cerianthus.

Actiniaria freely floating at the surface of the water.

M1NYADIN.E : Minyadidae.

Duncan (18) adopts the following classification : —

Class. Anthozoa.

Sub-order. Zoantharia Sclerodermata or Madreporaria.

Section. Madreporaria Aporosa.

I. Family. Turbinolidae (pars), Ed. & H.

II. ,, Oculinidae (pars), Ed. & H.

III. ., Pocilloporidee.

IV. ,, Astraeidae, Ed. & H. (amended).

Section. Madreporaria Fungida.

I. Family. Plesiofungidae.

II. „ Fungidae, Dana (pars).

III. ,, Lophoseridae.

IV. ,, Anabaciadae,

V. „ Plesioporitidae.

13 Coel.

CCELENTEEATA,

Section. Madreporaria Perforata.

I. Family. Eupsammidre.

II, „ Madreporidse, Ed. & H.

III. ,, Poritidee.

Ridley (69) finds that the mode of budding is of great classificatory
value in the Macheporicice ; he divides them into (1) MadrejJorince.—
Gemmation centrifugal, from the sides of terminal calyces. (2) Ifontipo-
rincE. — Gemmation centripetal, from a terminal ccenenchymal mass.

Nicholson (61) criticises Hickson [c/. Zool. Rec. xx. Ccel. p. 9], and
states that Syringopora and Favosites are Zoantharians closely allied to
the PoritidcB.

General.

Yosmaer [(47) concludes the historical part of his valuable review,
describes methods of investigation and preservation, and commences the
morphological part of the work.

Lendenfeld (27) gives a general account of the history, morphology,
and physiology of Sponges.

Anatomy and Histology.

Carter (2) contributes observations on the structure of the statoblast
in several species of fresh-water Sponges ; and (3) describes the structure
of Grantia spinispiculum, Crtr. The same author describes (5) the
skeletal structure of Leucosolenia hilleif sp. n., and compares it with that
of fossil Calcisponges. On statoblasts, see also Hyatt, Science, iv.
p. 450.

Doderlein (8) gives an account of the general structure and skeletal
characters of new species of Lithistids.

Harmer (17) states that by means of a new method, which he
describes, Yosmaer has been able to trace the outlines of the epithelial
cells in Chondrosia^ Thenea., and other Sponges.

ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY PHYLOGENY. SpOlig. 5

Hinde (18, 19, 20) describes the structure of numerous fossil Sponges.

Lendenfeld (25) records the occurrence of flesh spicules in Aplysillidce
and a Sponge otherwise like Cacospongia \ and (23) in a genuine Hircinia.

Marshall (29) describes the structure of Agilardiella radiata (g. &
sp. nn.), a monozoic tetractinellid Sponge with a radiate structure, the
antimera four, or a multiple of four, in number, surrounding a central
gastric cavity.

Mills (32) describes, with woodcut, serial arrangement of birotulate
spicules in fresh-water Sponges.

Vejdovsky (45) describes the structure of the statoblasts of Epliydatia
amphizona (Vej.) and Trachospongilla erinaceus^ Ehr.

ZiTTEL (53) abandons the views that he had previously expressed as to
the structure of the skeleton in the Anomocladina^ and now states that it
consists of monaxial rods, which, anastomosing at each end, give rise to
the nodes.

Ontogeny.

Carter (5) states that Leucosolenia {Spongia) coriacea, Mont., com-
mences existence as a simple erect sac, open at the upper end ; tubular
buds proceeding from it, increase in size, and anastomose together till
the reticulate structure of the adult is produced.

Doderlein (8) describes the origin of the skeletal corpuscles of cer-
tain Lithistid Sponges.

G-oette (15) gives an account of the development of Spongilla lacustris.
The two-la3’ered embr\'0 is a sterrogastrula, in which subsequently an
endodermal cavity arises ; the ectoderm disappears with attachment of the
larva, and the futifre sponge proceeds therefore entirel}^ from the endo-
derm ; this differentiates early into a peripheral layer, which replaces the
ectoderm as an epidermis, and a compact inner mass, which gives rise to all
the other tissues ; in the inner mass originate the in- and ex-current
cavities and the ciliated chambers, separate from each other, with no
common plan, so that the distinction of an enter oderm (darmblatt) from
a mesoderm is not possible. Spongillce, and generally all Sponges, arose
from a two-layered ancestor, but develop at present their whole organi
zation from a single germinal layer. The development of the gemmules
is also traced.

SoLLAS (42) traces the development of Halisarca lohularis, Sdt., within
the body of the parent sponge. Segmentation is more or less irregular;
a solid morula results, no segmentation cavity being formed. The cells
of the morula collect in strings and heaps, and a blastula is thus formed ;
the blastula stage is slurred over, and an abnormal gastrula stage follows ;
both walls of the gastrula consist of flagellated cells, and subsequently
undergo complicated foldings.

Phylogeny.

Doderlein (8) derives the Tetracladine Lithistids from the Stellet-
tidcE, Sdt., the Rhizomorina are modifications of the Tetracladma, and
gave rise to the Megamorina and Anomocladina.

6 Spong.

SPONGT^.

Lendenfeld (23) derives the Monaxonidce from the Cerospongice as
follows: — The Gerospongice give rise to the Chalarchidce {Chalmida with
delicate acerate spicules in the axis of the horny fibres), these to the
Chalccenidce {Chalinida with dense masses of large acerates within the
fibres). From the Chalccenidce three families originate, as lateral
branches, the EcMspidce (nearly equivalent to Carter’s Eehinonemata)
and Renieridce ; in the direct line, Clathridce (Chalinida with acuate
spicules in the fibres), and from this finally the Suheritidce arise. The
Myxospongice give rise to a series of forms, of which the Spongida are
the middle members ; from the sides of this series twigs proceed, bearing
the Aplysince and Hircinice at the ends. The Gumminece branch off
between the Myxospongice and Spongidce.

Sole AS (42) traces hypothetically a possible course of development of
Sponges from the Choanoflagellate Infusoria.

Yosmaer (50) adduces arguments to prove that Lendenf eld’s views
of the relationship of Cerospongice and Monaxonidce should be reversed,
the latter being more probably the ancestors of the former than their
descendants.

Physiology.

Carter (4) thinks it not improbable that Urugaaya coralloides pro-
pagates by ova alone, though statoblasts may possibly be formed as well.

Lendenfeld (24) suggests that the horny fibres of certain HircinidcB
may be formed, as a result of irritation, about symbiotic oscillarians which
infest these Sponges. He denies that the pigment cells which give
colour to some horny fibres (e.y., those of lanthellaf are concerned in the
formation of the fibre. The same author (26) discusses further the
question as to which tissues are concerned in the ingestion of nourish-
ment by Sponges, and points out that if Marshall’s observations on the
ontogeny of Reniera filigrana be correct, we must regard the endoderm
as the absorptive layer, though at the same time he admits the truth of
Polejaeff’s suggestion that nourishment may be absorbed by any part of
the free surface of the sponge.

Potts (34) states that spicules of fresh-water Sponges increase in
size and solidity as the Sponges are traced from high altitudes towards
the sea level.

Classification.

Carter (1) defines the following genera, which he had previously
named ; — Coscinoderma (C. lanuginosum), Ectyopsis {E. ramosa), Rhy cop-
sis (P. hirsuta')^ Rtilocaulis (P. gracilisf Leucophlceus (L. inassalis), and
emends Gray’s definition of Ectyon.

Doderlein (8) shows that the differences in form of the dermal
discs in Discodermia cannot be relied on for purposes of classification,
since from the same specimen he obtained forms which Zittel had re-
garded as distinctive of different genera.

CLASSIFICATION. SpOlig. 7

Hinde (20) shows that the fossil group of Receptaculitidce is to be
classed among the Hexactinellidce.

Yon Lendenfeld (27) supports the view that the Sponges are Ccelen-
terata^ and proposes the following classification : —

Order i. Calchpongice. Earns. Asconklce^ Syconidce, Leuconidce.

„ II. Myxospongice. Fams. Balisarcidce, "^Ghondrosidce.

„ III. Ceraospongicp. Fams. "^Spongelidce, "^Spongidce, "^AplyBillidcR^
"^Aplysinidce^ ^HircinidcR.

„ lY. Monacticerce. Fams. "^ChalarchidcB^ ChalccenidcB^ ■\Clathridai,
Ecliispidce.

j, V. Hyalospongice. Fams. PlahinidcB, HexactinellidcB^ Lithistidce.

„ Yl. Monactihyalce. Fams. Renieridoe^ Suheritidce.

The families marked * are each divided into two subfamilies, charac-
terized by the presence or the absence of flesh spicules ; that marked f
furnishes as well a third subfamily, characterized by the presence of
foreign bodies.

Marshall (29) argues in favour of the Ccelenterate affinities of the
Sponges, and considers that the radiate structure of Agilardiella and
other Sponges supports his views.

PoLEJAEFF (33) regards the Sponges as a subtype of the Ccelenterata ;
and divides the Calcarea into two orders — Homoccela, with the single
family Asconidce, and Heteroccela, with the families Syconid(e, Leuconidce,
and Trichonidce. He restores the historical continuity of the genera
interrupted by Haeckel. The Asconidce contains the single genus Leuco-
solenia, Bk. The genera of the Syconldce are Sycon^ Risso, having an
articulated tubar skeleton, radial tubes free, or if united, preserving
their individuality ; Grantia^ Fleming, with articulated tubar skeleton,
radial tubes with individuality suppressed, owing to formation of a
cortex possessing triradiate spicules ; Ute, Sdt., with a strongly-developed
cortex, supported by large acerate spicules in several layers ; Hetero-
pegma, n., articulated tubar skeleton, strongly-developed cortex, with
tri- and quadri-radiate spicules of different sizes in the parenchyma ;
Amphoriscus (H.), tubar skeleton not articulated, cortex with tri- or
quadri-radiate spicules, or both ; Anaximilla, n., no special tubar
skeleton, spicules.

The Leuconidce embrace the following: — Leucilla (H.), flagellated
chambers elongated cylindrical, a certain regularity in the disposition of
the spicules of the parenchyma ; Leuconia, Bk., flagellated chambers
more or less spherical, spicules of the parenchyma irregularly distributed ;
Leucetta (H.), skeleton of strongly-developed cortex quite different from
that of the parenchyma; Pericharax, n., distinct subdermal cavities.
The Teichonidce are Teichonella, Crtr., valvate or foliate, vents numerous,
confined to the margin or general on one side of the lamina only (Crtr.) ;
EilTiardia, n., calyciform, poriferous surface with tri-radiate and minute
acerate spicules, osculiferous surface with large acerates.

Ridley (38) defines the following new genera : — AcervocTicdina, Toxo-
cTialina (a Chalinid containing tricurvate flesh spicules), Gelliodes, Lotro-
cTiota ; and adopts G-ray’s genera, Gellius, Crella^ and Erylus.

SoLLAS (42) regards the Sponges as forming a phylum (Parazoa)

8 Spong.

SPONGI^.

distinct from the Metazoa. He suggests that the Chondrosiadce should
be removed from the Myxospongics.

Lendenfeld (23) regards flesh spicules as of no great value for pur-
poses of classification ; they are of coenogenetic origin. A tendency
to their formation occurs in all members of Lendenf eld’s series, beginning
with Halisarca and ending in Renieridce and Suheritidce. They are quite
independent of other skeletal structures. When a fibrous skeleton
becomes well developed the flesh spicules remain small and insignificant ;
if, on the other hand, a fibrous skeleton is absent, the flesh spicules may
attain considerable dimensions, and give rise to a coherent structure.

New Species and Synonymy.

Calcispongi^.

Carter (3) states that Grantia ciliata var. spimspiculum, Crtr., is
identical with Sycandra raphanus (H.) ; and considers that Sycandra
ciliata and S. coronata (H.) are identical species, such differences as may
exist being due to accidental circumstances ; and (5) describes Leuco-
solenia lacunosa, Bk., var. hilleri, n., from Ramsgate.

Hinde (19) describes Neoholia micida, Peronella nana^ Blastinia
cristata, B. pygmcea, Oculospongia minuta, fossil Calcisponges from the
Jurassic beds beneath Richmond, Surrey.

PoLEJAEFF (33) describes the following new species : — Leucosolenia
challengeri, Grantia tuberosa, Heteropegma nodus gordii, Ute argentea,
Amphoriscus poculum, A. elongatus, A. flamma, Anamixilla torresi, Leucilla
connexiva, L. uter, Leuconia multiformis, L. typica, L. rudifera, L. levis,

mascarenica, and Leucortis anguinea.

VosMAER (50) shows that Leucandra cramhessa (H.) and L. aspera (H.)
are varietal forms of the same species.

Monaxonid^.

Carter (2) states, in correction of a previous statement, that TrocTio-
spongilla erinaceus, Ehr., is not identical with Meyenia leidii, Bk. ; and
(4) that Dosilia stepanoivii, Dyb., S. Russia, is closely allied to Hetero-
meyenia repens, Potts, Pennsylvania, Meyenia plumosa, Crtr., Bombay, and
Meyenia baileyi, Bk.

Entz monographs the Infusoria of the Bay of Naples, and draws
these conclusions: — (1) The marine Infusorial fauna differs consider-
ably from that of fresh -water, and has only a few species in common
with it. (2) A considerable number of marine Infusoria, which, as a
whole, belong to the littoral (and bract ish-water) fauna, also appear in
salt lakes. (3) The Infusorial fauna of different seas is not considerably
different, as in fresh-waters.

Klebs has discovered that the supposed horizontal girdle of cilia in the
Peridinidce^ &c., has no existence, but is an optical illusion, caused by
the vibration of a flagellum which lies in the equatorial groove ; hence
the name Dinojlagellata must replace that of Ciliujlagellata [Biitschli has
since corroborated this in 1885]. The author objects to Stein splitting
the Peridinice into a number of new genera, and still maintains that they
are algae.

General Anatomy and Physiology.

The parts in continuation of Biitschli’s monograph (16) contain the
following sections: — Sexual reproduction of the Volvocinece, p. 787.
Formation of the resting-stage without the occurrence of copulation,
p. 794. Classification of Flagellates, p. 799 : (1) historical ; (2) relations
of the Flagellates to the Protozoa already described and to the unicel-
lular vegetable organisms, p. 803 ; (3) detailed account of the classifica-
tion adopted, giving diagnoses of all the genera, but omitting the species.
Nearly every genus is figured, and, as a matter of fact, a large number of
the species ; the plates were published in 1883 {_cf. Zool. Rec. xx. Prot.
p. 1]. Physiological Biology — (a) phenomena of movement, p. 846 ; (b)
behaviour towards warmth and light, p. 859.

The whole question of the structure and behaviour of the nuclei
amongst the Protozoa is treated very fully by Glruber (38). In the
Protista^ the nuclear substance is probably evenly distributed in fine
granules ; granules of nuclear matter occur in TricliosphcBrium sieboldi
(PacTiymyxa hystrix') and Pleurophrys gennensis: in Amoeba proteus, these
are found together with a distinct nucleus. After conjugation and divi-
sion, certain Protozoa are filled with nuclear particles. A vesicular
nucleus occurs generally in the Phizopoda^ Heliozoa, Sporozca, all true
Flagellata, and in some Padiolaria and Ciliata. In these the chromatin
may be diffused, in which case the nucleus simply divides, or there may
be a central nucleolus which divides first, the nucleus dividing between
the two nucleoli. The various kinds of nuclei of the above-mentioned
groups are treated in detail. The nucleus of the Cilio-flagellata leads on
to the Ciliata, in which group, and in the Suctoria, a “ massive ” nucleus
is found, which is usually furnished with a membrane, and in which
during division the chromatin is arranged in longitudinal filaments.
In certain Ciliata {TracTielocerca^ Chcenid), the nucleus, as such, may be
absent, being diffused throughout the body as fine chromatin-particles,
which only become visible on the application of reagents : in closely allied
forms the ordinary nucleus is present. The division of the nuclei is much
simpler in Protozoa than in Metazoa ; but G-ruber believes that the proto-
zoon or direct method does occur amongst the Metazoa [cf. Blochmann,
Morph. JB. 1885].

Nussbaum (72) divided Oxytricha into two halves, either longitudinally
or transversely, and found that, although some protoplasm, or even a
nucleus, might be lost, perfectly normal individuals resulted with their
four nuclei. Separated portions without a nucleus failed to develop, so

that a nucleus seems to be essential to the retention of the regenerative
power of a cell.

Stokes (105) has a paper on the remarkable Helizoan ClathruUna elegans.
Six reproductive methods are known : (1) self -division, (2) instantaneous
throwing off of a small mass of sarcode, (3) the formation and liberation
of minute germs, (4) the quadruple subdivision of the body into uni-
flagellate organisms, (5) the separation from the body of a free-swimming
Heteromita-\i\:Q zooid for the dissemination of the species, and (6) a
similar body-fission whose resulting biflagellate organism is anchored to
the parent-capsule for the formation of a colony. The first and last are
described in this paper. Amongst others, Miss Foulke (29) describes the
fourth method. After two hours, the uniflagellate germ fixes itself by
its flagellum and develops into a small stalked form ; and she Las a note
(31) upon the above paper of Stokes’.

"Worcester (108) has observed that after conjugation Stentor cceridevs
becomes more or less amoeboid, from which fragments were detached
which developed into fresh individuals. The formation of internal
embryos and fission were also noted.

R. Hertwig (47) describes the nuclear division in Actinosjdiceriuin eicJi-
hornii ; and Gruber (41) has a note on this paper. The process in this
Heliozoon appears to be intermediate between the simple nuclear division
of most Protozoa and the well-known process in animal and vegetable cells.

Jickeli (53) thinks it probable that the nucleus is concerned in the
nutrition of Infusoria. “ Polar bodies ” were observed to be emitted in
four cases, in one case during the act of encysting, in another after con-
jugation. The behaviour of the nucleus and paranucleus (nucleolus)
during fission and conjugation is described. An interchange of the di\i-
sion-products of the paranucleus, but not of the nucleus, occurs during
conjugation in Paramceciuin.

Bergonzini (6) has notes upon the study of Voriicellce, movements of
Amcehce, and a reproductive phenomenon in Stylonyclua.

A. G. Bourne has translated Engelmann’s valuable chapter on the
Physiology of Protoplasmic Movement, in Q. J. Micr. Sci. (n.s.) xxiv.
pp. 370-418, from Hermann’s Handworterb. der Physiologie. The allu-
sions to the physiology of the protoplasm of various Protozoa are so
numerous that it is impossible to do justice to this paper here. The
scheme of the treatise is as follows : — l. Introduction, ii. Physical and
chemical properties of contractile protoplasm, iii. The spontaneous
movements of protoplasm : (1) movements of naked protoplasm; (2)
movements of protoplasm bounded by firm integuments, iv. General
conditions of spontaneous piotoplasmic movement : (1) temperature ;
(2) imbibition of water : (3) oxygen ; (4) other chemical conditions —
poisons. V. Behaviour of protoplasm towards artificial stimulation : (1)
electrical stimuli ; (2) thermal stimuli ; (3) light stimuli ; (4) mechanical
stimuli; (5) chemical stimuli. Yi. Theoretical conclusions: (1) forma-
tion of spheres by naked protoplasm on excitation ; (2) origin of pro-
cesses ; (3) rotation of the protoplasm within the cell walls ; (4) stoppage
of spontaneous movements by artificial stimuli. Bourne has a note
(p. 378) on the excretory function of the contractile vacuole.

PROTOZOA.

Various details relating to the structure of the protoplasm and nuclei
of certain Protozoa will be found in La Biologie Cellulaire ; J. B. Carnoy.

Sallit (85) investigates the chlorophyll corpuscles of the following
Infusoria: — Paramecium hursaria, Stentor polymorphus, Vaginicola
grancJis, Vorticella campanula ?, Pliacus trigueter^ P. longicaudis, P.
glahra, Euglena acus, E, oxyuris, and E. mridis \ and finds they consist, as
in 8pongilla '2ciidi. Hydra^ of a colourless ball of clear protoplasm imper-
fectly invested by a layer of chlorophyll-containing protoplasm — ‘^chloro-
plasm.” In Vorticella chloro stigma, the chlorophyll is diffused through
the endoplasm. See also Ryder (84), who finds that the chlorophyll in
V. cTilorostigma is not diffuse, but in granules in the ectoplasm (!) ; he
also enters into the question generally [c/. J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) v.
pp. 78 & 79].

Although Zopf (109) deals with ihQ Myxomycetes in the widest sense of
the term, his observations on their anatomy and physiology have a direct
bearing on the lowest Protozoa.

The evolution of the Metazoa from colonial Protozoa is discussed by A.
Hyatt in “ The Larval Theory of the Origin of Cellular Tissue,” Am.
Nat. xviii. pp. 460-464 (cf. Science, iii. p. 337) ; and by 0. Biitschli in

W. H. Ballinger, in a lecture before the British Association (at Mon-
treal), described the life-history and fixed the thermal death-point of
several Monads, &c. ; “ Times,” Sept. 2 & 4, and Nature, xxx. pp. 619-622
& 645-648 [cf. J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) iv. pp. 721-725].

Certes (19) describes the results of experiments with high pressure
upon the vitality of marine and fresh-water micro-organisms. Para-
mcecium colpoda and Vorticelloe showed latent life after 48 hours in 300
atmospheres ; the marine Infusoria, Euplotes charon, E. patella, and
Pleuronema marina retained the power of motion ; but Holosticha flava
and Actinophrys died. [Gf. also Regnard (81).]

Certes returns (20) to the problem of the effect of high pressures on
the vitality of micro-organisms, and states that he prepared two similar
tubes — A with a reservoir of air, and b without any air — and subjected
both to a pressure of 350 atmospheres for 21 days ; in both microbes alone
survived, except in a, in which there were also some lively Chlamydo-
coccus pluvialis.

tion of the movements in certain Flagellates.

Herdman, P. Liverp. Soc. xxxviii. p. xlv., found that the phosphores-
cence of the sea at Loch Fjne, in the autumn of 1883, was due to Peri-
dinium tripos ; not a single Noctiluca was found.

Ryder (83) writes upon the Protozoa as a source of food for fishes ; and
in “ An Account of Experiments in Oyster Culture,” &c. (U. S. Fish.
Comm. Rep. [for 1882] 1884, pp. 763-778), alludes to Protozoan food and
parasites of the oyster and its ova. AcVinophrys sol is stated to feed on
dead oyster eggs, sp. gr. of water 1.007 to 1.0095 [confirmed in a letter

E. H. WagstafE, Am. Micr. J. v. pp. 144 & 145, gives a list of Protozoa,
&c., collected in a pond near Birmiugham, to prove that life is abundant
during winter. B. Moss, Knowledge, v. p. 423, fig., states that he found
a living Amoeba^ with numerous other organisms, in a hailstone ; and
Leidy, Am. J. Sci. (3) xxviii. p. 477, found swarms of Infusoria in dead
Liunbriculus in ice.

Deecke (22) describes an unnamed Protamceha which produced perfo-
rations in the bottom of a water-tank made of tinned copper. When the
material which fills the furrows is removed, the pure metallic surface of
the copper is brought to view, as if acted on by an acid. It would appear
that the copper [and tin] is dissolved in minute quantities; then, by the
interchange of the acid with the carbonic acid of the lime salt contained
in the water, forms a soluble organic lime compound and carbonate of
copper, the latter being deposited in the furrows, some of which com-
paratively indifferent material is naturally accidentally taken in by the
Protamcebce. The author suggests that other cases hitherto ascribed to
galvanic action, or that of air and water, may be related to micro-
organic life.

Bergonzoni (6) details his methods of the colouration of living Infu-
