THE ZOOLOGICAL RECORD. 5. ?n I hi 't T' ZOOLOGICAL RECORD/ FOR 188G ; BEING VOLUME THE TWENTY-THIRD OF TILE RECORD OF ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. EDITED BY FRANK E. BEDDARD, M.A., F.Z.S. PROSECTOR AND DAVIS LECTURER TO TIIE ZOOLOGICAL SQCIETY OF LONDON. oisb Explorate solum : sic fit via certior ultrAr***^. POS i LONDON : GURNEY & JACKSON, PATERNOSTER ROW. M.DCCC.LXXXVII. London : Printed by Simmons & Bottkn, 4 a, Slioo Lane, E.C. PREFACE. 4 As is well known to most of the subscribers to the Zoological Record, the publication of the annual volume during the past sixteen years has been carried on by the Zoological Record Asso- ciation, with the assistance of grants from the Government Fund of tlio Royal Society, from the British Association, and for some years (1871-1881) from this Society. At the close of last year tlio Zoological Record Association, having been unsuccessful in ob- taining the renewal of some of these grants, and being unwilling to carry on the publication of the Record any longer, agreed to transfer the whole of their stock of the issued volumes of the Record to this Society upon certain terms, and upon the understanding that the Society would undertake its future publication. This the Council of the Society, being fully aware of the value of the Record to working zoologists, and being most unwilling that after the issue of twenty-two volumes it should come to an abrupt termination, have thought themselves fully justified in acceding to. To superintend the publication of the Zoological Record for the future, the Council have deemed it advisable to appoint a Select Committee of their own members, consisting for the present year of the following gentlemen : — Mr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.S., Dr. VI PREFACE. Giintlier, F.R.S., Professor Newton, F.R.S., Mr. Henry Pollock, Mr. Howard Saunders, and the President and Secretary. The Committee selected Mr. F. E. Beddard, the Prosector of the Society, as the Editor of the Record, and, as will be seen, have resolved to continue its publication, with but very slight alterations, in the manner in which it was previously carried on. P. L. SCLATER, Secretary. Zoological Society of London, 3, Hanover Square, London, W. December, 1887. EDITOR’S PREFACE. The only change which has been made in Lhe present volume of the Becord is the introduction of a section devoted to General Subjects. This includes text-boolcs and works of a general nature, which it has been thought advisable to record in this way. Many of these books and papers are again recorded under the several groups with which they are more especially concerned. The list of Zoological Periodicals has been revised and enlarged. I am indebted to Dr. G. H. Fowler and to Mr. W. L. Sclater for help in this work. I also desire to express my thanks to Mr. B. B. Woodward, of the General Library, Natural History Museum, for much kind assistance. FRANK E. BEDDARD. Communications, Papers, and Memoirs intended for this work should be addressed solely to “The Editor of the Zoological Record, Zoological Gardens, Regent’s Park, Loudon, N.W.” It is earnestly requested that in the case of separately-printed copies of papers so forwarded, the original pagination be indicated.

But as this was only resolved upon six weeks before the date for sending the list to press, the Recorder desires indulgence in regard to omissions which the limitations of time and accessible literature have this year rendered inevitable. f Monographs are not included, but will be recorded under their proper heads.

The Factors of Organic Evolution. Nineteenth Century, No. 86 ; Kosmos, xvii, and separately, Williams & Norgate.. “ The direct action of the medium was the primordial factor of organic evolution. Acting alone, it must have initiated the primary 10 Gen. Sub. GENERAL SUBJECTS. differentiation in all units of protoplasm alike. Variations in the sur- rounding influences over an area would effect small contrasts in degree and kind of differentiation. As soon as these became decided, natural selection came into play. The differentiating action of the medium never ceased to be a co-operator in development, as a cause, both direct and indirect, of modifications of structure. With sexual reproduction, there came into play causes of frequent and marked fortuitous variations. The results of the mixtures of constitutional proclivities were mostly suppressed, but sometimes increased, by survival of the fittest. Natural selection became the predominant factor in relation to fortuitous varia- tions of structure, of no account in the converse with the medium, but of much account in the struggle with enemies and competitors.” Especially with plants and relatively inactive animals, “the survival of individuals, which had varied in favourable ways, must all along have been the chief cause of the divergence of species and the occasional pro- duction of higher ones. Gradually the inheritance of those modifications of structure, caused by modifications of function, becomes more and more important.” Spitzer, H.

Die Continuitat des Keim-plasmas, &c., 1885. Main theme — the importance of sexual reproduction as a moment in evolution. Special new characters acquired by the Metazoan parent in response to environmental influences are not known to be hereditarily transmitted to offspring. On the theory of the continuity of the germ- plasma, the molecular constitution of the germ -plasma is already deter- mined within the embryo. It grows enormously in quantity, but retains its original structure persistently, not directly influenced by environment, which cannot therefore originate variations. Sexual reproduction, as the mingling of two different sets of hereditable tendencies, supplies the mate- rial for the development of individual variations, out of which selection produces new species. It does not obliterate, but sums up the minute individual differences. The prepotency of the various kinds of idio- plasm which compose the germ- plasma of the germ-cells of each indi- vidual must vary in intensity at various periods of life. Hereditarily transmissible variation having arisen in the Protozoa by the direct action of external conditions, is retained in the Metazoa , and enhanced by ever changing combinations in sexual reproduction. The primitive action and meaning of conjugation is a strengthening of the forces of the organism in relation to reproduction, and does not imply rejuvenescence. It after- wards becomes a source of variability. A species parthenogenetieally reproduced must be nearing its extinction ; superfluous organs do not become rudimentary in such species. ^Wigand, A. .Grundsatze aller Naturwissenschaft.

Variation and heredity discussed from a chemical point of view. “ The force which maintains the species, and gives it its character of constancy and resistance, in a word, its atavistic force, seems to be nothing more than the resultant of the forces which maintain the chemical species of which the organism is composed. The condition of varietion, or of individualisation, is, on the contrary, the more or less marked facility which these essential specific molecules possess of vary- ing slightly in annexing different secondary radicals. The stability of the general molecular type, the instability of the secondary variations which it may exhibit, explain at once the condition and the power of ‘ atavism,’ and the nature and instability of variations.” ' *Gratacap, L.

And further, since all the organs of the body do, to a certain extent, share mutually iu nutriment aud in waste products, both germinal cells and developing embryo may accumulate a proportion of characteristic anastates and katastates, acquired, as it were, “ pangenetically ” from the organs of the body.” *Hallez, P.

(1) The success of hybrid fertilisation does not wholly depend on the degree of relationship ; (2) it is frequently not reciprocal ; (3) the state of the elements is an important condition. The various results de*pend almost exclusively on the plasticity of the ovum. The hybrid fertilisa- tion occurs the more readily the livelier the sperms, the weaker the ova. The vigorous ovum is the seat of regulative forces which guarantee normal, and hinder hybrid and polyspermie fertilisation. These are efficacious in proportion to the general vitality of the ovum. .

Mamm, 1 MAMMALIA. BY W. L. Sclater, B.A., F.Z.S. I.— INTRODUCTION. The history of Mammals during the year 1886 has not been signalized by the appearance of any work containing very remarkable or novel discoveries, but a large number of papers have been written, many of which contain facts and deductions of much value. Perhaps those of most interest, as bearing on the phylogeny of Mammals, are three embryological monographs : Parker (286), on the development of the skull in the Insectivora and Edentata, which throws considerable light on the relations and descent of these ancient and decaying forms ; Selenka (342), which has solved many of the disputed points in the development of Marsupials, more especially with regard to the yolk-sac and allantois ; and Deniker (94), which treats of the development of the anthropoid Apes, and gives a careful comparison of the foetus of a Gorilla with a human foetus of the same age. Cunningham (88) has also contributed to our knowledge of the anthropoid Apes , and in the same paper has dis- pelled the hitherto prevalent idea that the lumbar curve of the spinal column is peculiar to man, and due to his upright position. In Mammalian palaeontology much work has been done. Schlosser (330) has written an account of the fossil Ungulata , and of his views with regard to their origiu and descent from early Eocene times. Lydekker (216-223) in England, Filhoe (115) in France, Cope (75-83) in North America, and Ameghino (17-19) in the Argentine Republic, have described a large number of new fossil types. Another feature of the year’s work is the very large number of papers, and some of considerable importance, that have been written on the subject of the Cetacea, both recent and extinct. Albrecht (4) con- siders the Whales to be the most primitive of all Mammals, and the most nearly allied to the ancestors of Mammalian life (“Promammalia”). Weber (390) writes on the anatomy of Whales, but agrees with the more sober and more generally accepted view of the nearer relations of 1886. [VOL. XXIII.] B 1 2 Mamm. MAMMALIA. the Cetacea to the Pinnipeds and to Zeuglodon. Capellini (63), Portis (299), and Probst (303), have all described a large number of new species of fossil Whales, and finally, Van Beneden (39), Collett (71), and Aurivillius (21), have each written monographic essays upon recent species. The year 1886 has also been marked by the appearance of a consider- able number of new journals, containing papers on Mammals. Among the most important of these for the student are the “ Zoologische Jahrbucher,,, edited by Spengel ; the “ Anatomisoher Anzeiger,” which contains papers on comparative as well as on human anatomy, and the “ Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society.” Tho number of new genera of Mammals described in 1886 is 32, as against 25 in 1885. Of these the majority (twenty-seven) are fossil ; of the remaining 5, 3 are merely new generic names for types hitherto known, while 2 — Dymecodon of True (381), a new genus of Moles, and Eliurus of Miln e-Edwards (242), a new genus of Rodents— are for newly- discovered forms. The number of new species described is 99, as against 113 in 1885, and 103 in 1884. Of these, 23 are recent and 76 are fossil ; besides these there have been 9 forms described as subspecies.

In the second paper, dealing with the Insectivora, the native forms (i.e., Shrew Mole and Hedgehog) are fully treated of, but among exotic forms the author was short of material. In a summary, the Hedgehog is shown to be the most generalized type of Insectivora , and is compared with the Marsupial. A curious discovery also is that Erinaceus possesses no less than five vomers ; two other features are the very large Meckel’s cartilage and a persistent pituitary hole. 287. Parker, W.

The author adopts (p. 25) Flower’s classification. He concludes (p. 244) that Cetacea are derived from some such form as Zeugloclon, more nearly allied to the Pinnipedia than to the Ungulates, although having affinities to each. 391. Wells, J. W.

Op. cit. vi, pp. 503-510. The author finds that during a warm time of year more males, during cold more females, are produced; that the age of the male and the generative energy of the female has no influence on the sex of the young produced ; the principal influence is the nourishment of the embryo in the body of the mother — with better nourishment females, with worse nou- rishment males, are produced. The experiments were made principally on Horses and Lambs. 399. . Rie Rinderrassen Mittel-Europas. Grundziige einer Natur- geschichte der Hausrinds. Berlin: 1885, 8vo, pp. 1-200, 70 taf. 400.

The year 1886 is perhaps chiefly noticeable, from an ornithological point of view, for the largo number of papers on Anatomy, Morphology, Physi- ology, and Pathology. Excellent work in these subjects has been done by Beddard, Gadow, and Shufeldt ; Canfield, Meves (two papers on the eye), Goodchild, Kerschner, Klee, Lwoff (three papers on the feathers, &c.), and Sclater ; Cazin, Dareste, Gerlach, Halliburton, McAldowie, Nathusius, and Rochas ; Dowdeswell, Leniez, and Sutton. Sundevall’s work on the Wings of Birds has also been translated into English. Many important works have advanced a stage — noticeably those of Godman & Salvin (Biologia Centrali- Americana), Booth (Rough Notes on the Birds of the British Islands), Giglioli and Manzella (Iconografia dell’ Avifauna Italica), Lord Lilford (Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands), Gould [Sharpe] (Birds of New Guinea), Meyer (AbbilduDgen von Yogel-skeletten), — while Dresser’s Monograph of the Meropidce and Taczanowski’s Ornithologie du Perou are concluded. Sclater continues the Catalogue of the Birds of the British Museum with vol. xi., treating of the Families Ccerebidcc , Tanagridcc, and Icteridce. Of new publica- tions the chief are those of Cory (Birds of the West Indies) and Reyes y Prosper (Birds of Spain, Portugal, and the Balearic Islands), which supplies a want much felt by ornithologists ; while Capeu (Oology of New Euglaud) and Jones (Birds of Ohio) add to our libraries two useful works on the Eggs and Nests of American Birds, with excellent plates. The continuation also of Sundman’s Finnische Yogeleier, under the name of Finska Fogeliigg, is a welcome addition to the same subject. Important papers on extinct species are contributed by Haast, Newton [E. T.] , and Owen, while the articles on Birds in the Encyclopaedia Britannica by Newton [A.] are, if possible, of greater interest than usual. Mention should be made, in conclusion, of the travels and explorations of Guillemard, Hartert, Johnston, and Radde. The chief works published during the past year, so far as they relate to Geographical Areas, &c., may be found under the names below, while reference should also be made to Berlepsch, Gadow [Bronn], Collett, 2 Aves.

On the Syrinx and other Points in the Anatomy of the Capri - mulgidce. T. c. pp. 147-153, 3 cuts. The author begins by stating that Steatornis is a most remarkable genus, and is parallel, with regard to its bronchial syrinx, to Crotophaga ( Cuculidce ), though differing in certain details. Ho says that in tho Caprimidgidce the variation of structure of the syrinx is parallel to that of Cuculidce , and that, as in the latter \cf. Zool. Rec. xxii, Aves, p. 50], the family may be divided into 3 types — (i.) Caprimulgus , Chordeiles , Nycti- dromus, GEgotheles (where the syrinx is tracheo-bronchial) ; (ii.) JBatra- chostomus, Podargus (where it is intermediate between the above and Steatornis, though nearer the latter) ; (iii.) Steatornis (where it is purely bronchial). He passes over Caprimulgus and Chordeiles, as being already known, and describes the syrinx in the other five genera (cuts of first 3). Remarks follow on the visceral anatomy \_e.g.y QZgotheles differs in having no coeca, Chordeiles in having no gall-bladder], and on the Myology LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.

E.] On some Points in the Anatomy of Chauna chavaria. T. c. pp. 178-181, pi. The writer’s main object is to supply details of the anatomy of the genus, omitted by Garrod in his description of Chauna derbiana. The air-sacs, &c., show a relationship to the Storks and Cranes ; the alimen- tary canal differs slightly from that of C. derbiana , as do the extrinsic muscles of the syrinx, but not the syrinx itself. .

Acclim. 1886, pp. 534-543; Females lose their wing feathers simultaneously as well as males, but somewhat later. This is probably the case with the Palmipedes and the Rallidce , and is doubtful in the Tetraonidce , Phasianidce, and some Pas- seres. (The remiges fall before the rectrices.) In the Palmipedes and Rallidce the author finds that the loss corresponds to a later assumption of these in the first instance by the young, as well as to a more backward development of the motor muscles of the wings. Gulls and Tern3 appear to lose their rectrices • simultaneously, on the other hand. Crowley, P. A Visit to the Breeding Quarters of the Spoonbill in Holland (Naardon). P. Croyd.

He rdm an (4), as an introduction to the description of the new 1 Chal- lenger ’ species, gives a general account, illustrated by diagrams, of the ana- tomy and histology of the Compound Ascidiaus. A more detailod account of the structure of certain special forms (particularly the genus Colella) is given in the body of the report. One of the most remarkable forms is the deep-sea species, Pharyngodictyon mirabile , in which the branchial sac is in the same degenerate condition as in Culeolus, amongst Simple Ascidians. It has large meshes, with no true stigmata, and apparently no cilia. A number of species were found to have their ascidiozooids pro- togynous ( i.e.} female when young, and male only when full grown). Roule (17) finds as an individual variation in Cynthia papilla sa, L and Ascidia elongata , Roule, the same condition of the duct from the eubneural gland as is found normally in Ascidia mammillata , Cuv., and Ascidia marioni, Roule, viz., the presence of more than one external aperture. The walls of the. alimentary canal in the Cynthiidce contain, according to Roule (18), a closed system of delicate tubes, the larger branches of which anastomose, while the finer twigs terminate in ovoid ampullae. They are grouped mainly around the blood lacunae ; they do not com- municate either with the exterior or with the lumen of the alimentary canal, and they enclose granules which give the murexide reaction. Roule considers that they are renal in function, and correspond to the closed renal vesicles of the Ascidiidce. ... In continuation of his researches on the Simple Ascidians of the coast of ANATOMY. Tun. 3 Provence, Roule (20) gives now an account of the family Cynthiidce. He discusses the position of this family, and gives a detailed account of tho structure of tho body of a typical Cynthia. In the classification he fol- lows Ilerdman, in dividing the family into 3 subfamilies — the fi Uyelince, the Cynlhinai , and the Boltenince , of which the two first only are repre- sented in the Mediterranean. The paper ends with a short account of the family Molgulidce, and the species Eugyriopsis lacazei. Altogether tho Simple Ascidians of .the coast of Provence, as mado known by the various papers of M. Roule, include 28 species, referred to 13 genera or subgenera belonging to 3 families — Phallusiadce (or Asci- diidai), Cynthiidce , and Molgulidce. Nansen (16), after an examination of the histology of the nervous system (especially the ganglion) in Ascidia and Myxine, comes to the conclusion that in the minute structure of the nerve-fibres and nerve- cells, and in their arrangement and relations, there is a close resemblance between the vertebrata and the invertebrata — Ascidia and Myxine , agree- ing in all essential points with what has been described in the higher ver- tebrata, and with what Nansen had previously observed in the Myzoslomata. Herdman (6) discusses individual variations in the Tnnicata , those organs which it usually affects, and those points which should be attended to in describing new species of Ascidians. Various abnormal conditions in the branchial sac, tentacles, dorsal tubercle, and other organs, and in the pigmentation of the body, are described. Laiiille (11) gives a brief account of tho structure of tho post-abdo- mon, the alimentary canal, and tho branchial sac of tho Folyclinidcc. Roule (19) revises some of the Ascidiidcc , and adds to his previous de- scriptions of some species. He gives a detailed account of the structure of Rhopalona ( Rhopalcea ) neapolitana, Phil., which — he agrees with Herd- man— should be placed close to Ecteinascidia , a genus from which it apparently differs only in not reproducing by gemmation. Lahille (9) gives a short account of the structure of a new species of Diplosoma ( D . Jcoehleri) from Guernsey. Maurice (13, 14, 15) gives an account of the structure of Amaroecium torquatum. He describes particularly the structure of the post-abdomen, the heart, tho branchial sac, the muscles, tho nervous system, and the alimentary canal. He finds that the dorsal and ventral cavities of the post-abdomen are anterior prolougations of the pericardium, while the median cavity is connected with the branchial sac, and is the epicardium of Van Beneden and Julin. The subneural gland is continuous posteriorly with the beginning of the dorsal ganglionic nerve cord. An oviduct is present, and its anterior end takes part in the formation of an incubatory pouch. Lahille (12) gives an account of the arrangement, functions, and origin of the muscle-bands in the Compound Ascidian Glossophorum sabulosiun (= Polyclinum sabalosum, Giard). 4 Tun . TUNICATA. Development. Herdman (4) traces the course of development by gemmation in some of the new ‘ Challenger’ Compound Ascidians. He finds that in Sarco- botrylloides , amongst the Botryllidce , buds are formed in the vascular prolongations, or stolons, from the parent Ascidiozooid into the common test. In the genus Colella he found that buds were formed in the. peduncle of the colony, and were afterwards carried upwards to the region where they appear as young Ascidiozooids. Brooks (1) considers that the process of gemmation in Salpa has been misunderstood by all previous investigators. He has recently worked it out in Salpa cabotti and another larger species, from Wood’s Hole, on the American coast, and finds that the budding is in reality a very simple process, directly comparable with the budding of Pyrosoma. The buds are produced from the stolon in a single series, but afterwards, as the result of crowding, become placed in two rows, the ascidiozooids of which have their haemal surfaces towards the middle line of the stolon and their neural surfaces external ; the right sides of all which lie on the left side of the stolon, and the left sides of all the others are towards its base. When first formed on the stolon in a single series, all the neural surfaces are proximal in their origin, and all the haemal surfaces are distal, while the right halves of all the bodies arise on the right half of the stolon, and the left halves on the left. The middle plane of symmetry in the Salpa stolon is identical, like the middle plane of the stolon Of Pyrosoma , with the middle planes of the bodies of all the Ascidiozooids. The final position of the body of the chain Salpce is the result of two secondary changes : (1) during the development and growth of the chain the constituent Salpa: are crowded alternately to the right and to the left ; and at the same time, (2) each Salpa rotates upon its long axis until its haemal surface becomes internal and its neural surface external. The stolon arises from the haemal surface of the solitary Salpa , and consists of an outer wall of ectoderm, an inner endodermal tube which opens into the branchial sac of the solitary Salpa and arises in the fold between the halves of its endostyle, a nerve tube, an ovary, two cloacal tubes, and two mesodermal tubes which give rise to the muscles. The relation which the solitary Salpa bears to the first chain Salpa in -the series (the last which it produces) is exactly the same as the relation between this one and the next, and therefore, according to Brooks, the egg-embryo, or solitary Salpa , is really a member of the chain series, and the only essential difference between it and the other members of the chain is its more rapid growth. The ascidiozooids are not formed by budding from the walls of the stolon, but by the direct conversion of its tissues and cavities into those of the Salpa. Geographical and Bathymetrical Distribution. A map is given by Herdman (4) showing the distribution of the Simple and Compound Ascidians obtained during the 1 Challenger’ Expe- dition, and tables are given showing the distribution of the families, genera, and species in the great ocean basins. They show that most of the families and genera have a very wide horizontal range. Compound GEOGRAPHY, ETC.^PHYLOGENY. Tun. 5 Ascidianfc are apparently much more abundant in the southern than in the northern hemisphere. The bathymetrical range of the ‘ Challenger ’ Compound Ascidians is from the shore down to 1600 fath. ( Pharyngo - dictyoh mirabile) ; comparatively few species, however, extend into the Abyssal zone, and the Ascidice Compositai must be regarded as mainly a shallow- water group. In the Report on the Fauna of Liverpool Bay, Herdman (5) records 47 species of Tunicata from the L. M. B. C. district, of which 2 are new to science and 7 new to the British seas. Giard (3) records a Diazona , which he considers identical with D. hebridica , Forb. & Goods, from the south-east coast of Brittany. He also finds Distaplia rosea, Della Yalle, and from an examination of it has come to the extraordinary conclusion that it is the fixed representative of the pelagic forms Doliolum and Anchinia ! Roule (19) records 14 species of Ascidiulce from the coasts of Pro- vence. He gives tables (pp. 257 & 258) showing the geographical distri- bution of these species, and also their distribution according to depth and the nature of the bottom. Yon Drasciie (2) records 5 species of Simple Ascidians, 2 of them new to science, from Jan Mayen. Phylogeny. Herdman (7) discusses the probable origin and course of evolution of the various groups of the Tunicata . He considers that the Proto-Tunicata were derived from the Proto -Chordata, and are now represented by the Larvacea ( Appendiculariidce ). The Proto- Thaliacea and the Proto - Asculiacea were two divergent branches from the Proto-Tunicata , tho former of which broke up into the Cyclomyaria ( Doliolidce ) and the Ilemimyaria ( Salpidai ). The Proto- Ascidiacea which became fixed and modified are represented now by the Clavelinidce , from which the various groups of Simple and Compound Ascidians have been derived. The Compound Ascidians are regarded as a polyphyletic group derived from the ancestral Simple Ascidians at three distinct points. The Ascidice Salpiformes ( Pyrosoma ) are considered as being allied to tho Compound Ascidians through Ccelocormus, and have no direct connection with the Thaliacea. A more detailed phylogeny of the families of the Ascidiai Compositai , showing the positions and genetic relations of the new ‘ Challenger ’ forms, is given in (4), at p. 387. Lahille (10) proposes a new classification of the Tunicata. He first divides them (following Balfour) into Perennichordata (the Larvacea of Herdman) and Caclucichordata (the Thaliacea and Ascidiacea of Herd- man), and then subdivides the latter, according to the condition of the branchial sac, into — (1) Aplousobranchiata (including Salpa , Doliolum, and apparently Pyrosoma and some families of the Compound Ascidians, such as the Diplosomidai , the Didemnidai, and the Polyclinidce ) ; (2) Phlebobranchiata (including Diazona and some of the Clavelinidce , and the Asculiidce) ; (3) Stolidobranchiaia (including the Cynthiidce , the Molgulidce, and the Botryllidm). 6 Tun. TUN1CATA. Systematic. The classification adopted here is that used in the ‘ Challenger ’ reports on the Tunicata. There is nothing to record under this head in the Larvacea and Thaliacea. ASOIDIACUA.

Ward’s catalogue forms a compact systematic handbook. Anatomy and Physiology. The primitive Cephalopoda are held to have resembled Dentalium . (1.) The arms are not the anterior portion of the foot ; the portion of the sub-oesophageal mass from which they are innervated,. though appa- rently pedal, is really cerebral ; and many nerve fibres supplying the arms pass through the lateral commissures into the cerebral ganglia. The arms are compared with the tentacles of Nautilus and the cephalo- cones of Clione. (2) In Pneumonoderma , though the arms develop at a distance from the head, they are still innervated from the cerebral ganglia, and they are not ctenidia because of their position at the sides of the mouth. (3) A detailed comparison is drawu between the disposi- tion of the various organs in Dentalium,. Nautilus, and Sepia. Cephalo- poda are not regarded as having been derived f rom Pteropods ; Grob- ben (1). The nervous system is described in detail in many Pteropoda. They have an asymmetrical visceral commissure, which recalls that of certain Gastropoda , and various stages in its modifications are exhibited by parallel instances in the two groups. The pleural ganglia are paired, not un- paired, as stated by v. Jhering ; .the buccal appendages are innervated by the cerebral ganglia, and thus are not homologous with the arms of the Cephalopoda. Spengel was correct in regarding the Pteropoda as euthy- neurous ; Pelseneer (5). Detailed resume of anatomy of Pteropoda ; see Boas (2), preliminary account, id. (1). The position of the naked Molluscs in the various families of Pulmo- nates is discussed by Furtado (2). Geomalcus resembles Arion in most respects, but the penis instead of ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Peltclla , anatomy of ; Jii bring (1). An account of the anatomy of his genus Govia is given by Trinchese. The anatomy of Fissiirella is exhaustively treated by Boutan ; the points of novelty have been already published in preliminary notices (see Zool.' Rec. xxii, Moll. pp. 3, 20, 34, & 39), and an abstract of the paper is supplied by the author, from which the following remarks as to the relation of this to other forms are taken : Fissiirella in its larval con- dition presents resemblances to Rimala and Emarginula , and possibly to Parmophorus , Haliotis, and Trochus. Parmophorus is an Emargi- nula in which the slit remains as a simple notch, while in Haliotis it is closed at intervals. Fissurella differs from this last in the presence of four salivary glands, the absence of two superior oesophageal pouches and of a spiral caecum, and in the position of the anus ; also in the absence of the left organ of Bojanus. The nervous systems of Parmophorus and Emarginula form two terms intermediate between Haliotis aud Fissu- rella ; in the latter the coalescence of the pedal and asymmetric centres is most complete. Fissurella in the larval stato is a true Gastropod ; it has a spiral shell, which directly develops into the straight shell of the adult ; the larva is asymmetrical, and the symmetry of the adult is a coutinual masking of this ; the nervous system admits of being referred to the normal type. Fissurella and its allies must not be regarded as primitive Gastropods, as by v. Jhering aud Spengel. The auatomy of the Marseniadee in genoral, and of three new species, is treated by Bergh (1, 2). A detailed account is given of the anatomy of Chelyonotus sempcri , Bgb., and C. tonganus, Q. & G., var. berghi ; Bergh, (5) pp. 193-225. On the basis of anatomical examination the Ptenoglussa are uuited with the Tivnioglossa, their relationship being indicated by the genus Torinia , from which their radula may be derived by atrophy of the median tooth and multiplication of the lateral teeth. The Solaridce are placed as a highly organised group among the dialyneurus forms ; the Scalaridce above them, or near the Turritellidce if they should prove to be zygoneurous ; the Ianthinidte above the Vermetidce among the zygo- neurous forms ; Buuvier (10). Xenophora cavalieri has a moderately developed non-pro tractile pro- boscis, long tentacles, with sub-basal eyes, and a long curved gill ; the genital passage is separated from the rectum, and the genital outlet from the anus ; the nervous system is chiastoneurous and zygoneurous. Gilg- ptrcea is also chiastoneurous and zygoneurous, but has a cephalic penis ; Bouvier (8). An examination of the general structure of Solarium trochlearc and Janthina globosa, and of the nervous system in particular, leads to the result that these genera cannot be placed in close relationship to each other, as was done by Troschel, on account of the dentition ; Bouvier (9). The examination of Turbo setosus has on the whole confirmed Soule- 30 Moll . mollusga; yet’s account of its anatomy. The genus is chiastoneurous ; the triangu-! lar cerebral ganglia are placed antero-laterally on the pharyngeal sac, and united by a long sub-oesophageal commissure, and give off the thick proboscidial nerves as well as the cerebro-pedal and cerebro-commissural connectives. The pedal and commissural ganglia form a quadrilobato infra-buccal mass, while a branch from the proboscidian nerve passing between the oesophagus and the buccal mass enters the horse-shoe- shaped stomatogastric ganglionic mass. The nervous system of the Neritidce and Navicellce resembles closely that of Turbo ; but it is noteworthy that, so far as investigations have yet gone, it does not seem to be chiastoneurous ; Bouvier (6). Concholepas sp. is externally parasitic on LincTcid multiformis , from Ceylon : it occurs on the lower surface of the arm, attached by a number of elevations, which penetrate the cutis. The centre -of this surface is occupied by the pharynx, which acts as a proboscis, and has a pumping action ; there is no radula. “ The true foot is a small semi-lunar fold on the hinder surface a similar anterior fold being the remnant of the velum. There are salivary glands and one gill ; the adult shell is 1 cm. long, and has a general resemblance to Ancylus ; Sarasin. Stylina sp. forms conical swellings on the arm of Linckia multiformis , the apex of the shell, which is 1 cm. long, and has 8 whorls, projecting from an aperture. Thero is a false mantle, acting as a respiratory pump, and a muscular proboscis, which may extend 1*5 cm. Pharynx, radula, and operculum are absent ; eyes and otocysts present ; the sexes are separate ; Sarasin. The body of Pterotrachea may be regarded as a tube of muscular and gelatinous material, the latter enclosing numerous large cells with large nuclei ; in the post-anal tail the muscles are in four bands, and the large round cells are replaced by stellate ones ; the fin consists of two muscu- lar plates. There are four groups of ganglia : (1) three pairs of cerebral ; (*2) one pair of pharyngeal ; (8) one pair of pedal ; (4) two unpaired visceral ganglia. The “ ciliated organ ” consists of a nervous band, derived from the visceral ganglion, with a fibrous centre and peripheral ganglion cells, and an epithelial portion exhibiting a median mass of large stratified cells, with a depression where the nerves enter and a lateral elevation of long ciliated cells. A muscular cul-de-sac is formed at the root of the tail, and below it is the pericardium, which is quite distinct from the perienteric cavity. The branchiae round the ciliated organ are desci ibed ; the oesophagus is much elongated, and the intestine and liver reduced. An aberrant Heteropod [? allied to Carinaria ] is described ; Warlomont.' Bergh (4) expresses the opinion that Phcenicurus is merely a papilla of Tethys. Lacaze-Duthiers (1) replies, stating that Dujardin had pointed out the resemblance of such papillae to the true Phcenicurus , distinguishing between hepatic caeca and the dendrocoelous intestine of Phcenicurus, and asking of what use to Tethys can be appendages which fall off so easily. Spengel complains that Lacaze-Duthiers has neglected the whole pre- vious literature on Phcenicurus , and confirms Bergh ’s view that these organisms are merely papillae of Tethys ; see also Mobius (2). ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll. SI A rudimentary head with four tentacles, and a stomatogastric system have been found in Meleagrina margaritifera ; the latter consists of a cord passing from the brain and dividing into two branches, of which the anterior ends in a buccal ganglion, while the posterior forms a sort of jugular commissure, as in Haliotis. There is also an anal foliaceous oper- culum ; the ventricle of the heart is not traversed by the rectum, and the auricles are situated on its anterior aspect ; Mayoux. In Pliodon the labial palps are semi-lunar in form, and have a long straight attachment ; the gills divide the pallial chamber into two quite l/ distinct spaces. The //ntorior spaces communicate with the exterior by f two orifices, so that there are three openings into the mantle-cavity — pedal, branchial, and anal. The pericardial gland is very large ; the muscles of the mantle aud foot are described in detail ; Pelseneer, (4) pp. 116-128. Simpson (1) gives an elementary, but full description of the anatomy of Anodonta Jluviatilis, which is profusely illustrated by well-executed plates. Lepidomenia, n. g., for L. hystrix, n. sp. A unique specimen, 2 mm. long, was found in the Gulf of Marseilles, at a depth of 30 metres. It resembles Proncomenia internally, but has a spicular outer covering. The hypoderm is thick, and contains large brown cells (glandular ?) ; poste- riorly it is modified into a sensory pit, like that found in Proneomenia. Anteriorly is a pedal groove with glands. Within are muscular bundles, apd the general cavity is occupied by a connective tissue. The heart is the only well-differentiated organ ; it is situated posteriorly in a largo poricardium, which givos off two simple nophridial tubos, surroundod by a cellular excretory mass. These unite below the rectum into a single tube, which fuses with the latter to form a common cloaca, which has no gills, as in Proneomenia. The animal was not sexually mature. The digestive tract opens by a pharynx, with large internal tactile papillae and buccal glands. There is a radula of 8 strong teeth, two of which have • 6 teeth each ; there are also 8 reserve teeth ; near this are the salivary glands. The intestine has a little dorsal caecum, and then passes on to the rectum; there is a dorsal ciliated tract internally, but the greater part is lined with clavate digestive cells, which disappear towards the rectum. There is a large cerebrum, anterior to the radula, and an oeso- phageal collar ; two large pedal ganglia below and anterior to the radula, united by a commissure, and a posterior ganglion on the pedal trunks; there is no sublingual commissure forming a second oesophageal collar ; Marion & Kowalewsky. 1.

Digestive System. Digestive organs of Buliminus sp., described by Simroth ; Bcettger, (11) pp. 17-20. The radula of 5 genera of Stylomatophora is elaborately described and figured by Dybowski, (1) ; his conclusions are summed up as follows : — I. The inner lateral plate provided with a median lateral tooth. a. The outer lateral plates are hook-shaped, very long, and with a cutting* edge along their whole length : Limax , Hyalina. b. The outer lateral plates are hook-shaped, short, and have a toothed margin : Vitrina. II. The inner lateral plates have no lateral tooth. The outer lateral plates have long pedicles : Succinea. b. The outer lateral plates are lamellar and toothed on the posterior margin : Helix , Avion. Dybowski (2) in attempting to answer the question as to the syste- matic value of the radula, gives some preliminary communications, with an account of his modes of observation and delineation, with special descriptions and detailed measurements in the case of Amphipeplea and Planorbis. The oral lobes have been investigated in eighteen families of Pelecy- poda , and in several forms .their anatomy examined. They are covered with a single layer of ciliated epithelium, beneath which there are goblet cells. Cells, apparently sensory, are also found in grooves or on eleva- tions of the epithelium. In Mytilus , a large blood-space runs along the upper edge of the oral lobe, which may be regarded as a true vessel homo- logous with the tentacular artery of the Naiadce. Below the sub-epithe- lial basemeut membrane are muscles and nerves, disposed parallel to the long axis of the organ. At the lower margin are a number of cells, probably glandular, though their ducts have not yet been demonstrated ; aud along the junction of the ridges with the tegumentary fold are structures apparently corresponding with the chitinous rods in the gills. Direct experiments have shown the lobes to have an ingestive function, though the marginal cilia produce a current seemingly intended to drive away the water from which food has already been obtained ; perhaps there is also a secondary respiratory function ; Thiele. 4. Circulatory System. The blood-passages of Pelecypoda , even the so-called “ arteries,” are all lacunae, and the muscle-fibres which surround them are not proper to ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll. 33 them ; the whole apparatus and the contained fluid suggest the lym- phatics of Yertebrates. The usual condition is one of turgescence, and the mass of blood is sufficient to account for all changes of volume of different organs, without the presence of pores for the entrance of water or exit of blood ; Houle (1). For experiments on the heart of Pulmonata ; see Richard. Innervation of the heart pi Helix ; Trambusti (p. 37, posted). The blood-vessels aud pulsations of the heart, at the rate of 50 to the minute, were visible through the skin of the living Helix thyroides ; Simpson (2). 5. Respiratory System. The gills of Fasciolaria develop as a series of folds on the dorsum of the veliger, uncovered by the mantle ; they afterwards become plate-like, and come to occupy the usual position, hanging on the inner surface of the mantle in a special cavity. The heart is at first in front of the gill, but as this is carried forward it is left behind. The adult gill has the same structure as in Fulgur , but its development is more primitive. The ctenobranch condition is regarded as being more primitive than the ctenidial ; Osborn (1). Davis, in opposition to Spongel, states that the rudimentary gill of Patella is covered by a continuation of the olfactory epithelium, and also that it is entirely made up of trabeculae of connective tissue. It may possibly have a function other than that of smell (? locality-sense). 6. Excretory and Secretory Systems. The elaborate paper of Frenzel (1) on the Molluscan mid-gut gland has been to some extent anticipated by preliminary communications [vide previous Records]. I. Histology (a) granular cells (liver-cells of Bar- furth) occur in all groups except Cephalopods ; they contain a spherical vesicular ball, enclosing pigment-granules, fat-globules, and masses of albumen. A hair-fringe is present, and is long in Cephalopoda and some Pelecypoda ; a ciliated fringe may have been derived from it. ( h ) The club-shaped cells occur in all types of Molluscs ; they contain a spherical ball, with more or less pigmented contents; fat and albumen are also commonly present. Their secretion is acted on by strong acids, thus differing from that of the granular cells, (c) Calcareous cells occur often but not always ; they contain calcium phosphate. II. Physiology: — The gland is said to have a digestive function in all cases, discharged both by the glandular and club-shaped cells. The calcareous cells ^are not secre- tory. No true constituents of bile could be demonstrated. So complex an organ probably discharges other functions hitherto unknown. The so-called “liver” of Cephalopoda , and also of some Prosobranchiata, contains only one kind of epithelial cell, comparable with the club- shaped ferment-cells of other Mollusca ; in these forms it must be regarded as digestive. In othor Prosobranchiata the cells are granular, and according to Barfurth the organ must here be regarded as a true liver. In the Opisthobranchiata there are two kinds of cells, and it may b3 a “ hepato-pancreas.” So many histological details are common to the 34 Moll. MOI^LUSCA. organ in all groups, that the author thinks it must have a common func- tion, which is probably not glycogenous ; Fbenzkl (2). The oesophageal glands of Octopus resemble bunches of grapes in section, and consist of abundant interstitial tissue, an amorphous matrix, fusiform cells, capillaries, nerve-fibres and sheaths round the ducts ; the excretory canals have au opaque striated lining, and the gland is not acinous but a ramified tube. The terminations of the tubes contain very granular polyhedral cells, while higher up are elongated cells ; perhaps different states of the ferment-producing cells. The excretory canals are lined by a single layer of opaque balls, each of which is striated and sur- rounded by a clear zone in which is a nucleus. The gland probably secretes both mucin and ferment ; Pilliet. Apathy confirms the existence of mucous cells in TJnis (which Kollmann regarded as interstitial spaces) ; they are disposed iu groups, and are connected with an efferent duct ; each cell has not its own duct, as was erroneously stated by Carriere. In the Pulmonata the organ of Bojanus presents great structural analogy with the lung ; it does not receive arterial blood from the aorta, but a small amount of venous from the general cavity and a much larger quantity of arterial from the lung ; this latter is concentrated in a receiver, extending the whole length of the organ above the excretory canal, hence it is distributed in the lacunse of the walls of the organ, where it mixes with the venous blood of the general cavity. The blood which has circulated thus always returns to the pulmonary vein by one or more canals. It is possible that the organ of Bojanus, in addition to its primary functions, plays an important partin respiration and circulation; Amaudkut (2). MacMunn (3) describes a method of obtaining uric acid crystals from the nephridium of Pulmonata ; in Helix aspersa the crystals were of various shapes, the size depending on the mode of preparation ; similar crystals which exhibited the murexide reaction were got from Limax Jtavus. In the juice of the nephridium of Helix there are spherical crystals, regarded by some observers as bile-pigment : they probably con- sist, however, of urates of calcium and sodium. Their central portion consists of radially-disposed needles. In the same author’s (1) extensive paper on Enterochlorophyll there are some incidental references to the pigments of Mollusca. On haemato- porphyrin in the integument of Lirnax, cf. id. (4). • The byssus gland and the attachment of Lamellibranchs to foreign bodies, are described by Cattie in a considerable number of species ; the walls of the byssus-cavity secrete constantly ; the lamellae iu the anterior portion fuse to form the trunk of the byssus (“ round tendon ” of Reau- mur). When the orifice of the cavity is less distinct, the lamellae of the byssogenous material alternate with lacunae. The epithelium of the byssus cavity is generally ciliated ; glandular cells are disposed around it, and an increased surface is sometimes obtained by the plication of the walls. The author does not believe in the inception of water through pores in the foot. The byssus of Pelecypoda is peculiar to the group, and secreted by ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll. 35 glands homologous with the pedal glands of Gastropods ; the so-called aquiferous pores are the apertures of these glands, there being no direct communication between the circulatory apparatus and the exterior ; Bar KOI 8. The pericardial gland in Pelecypoda is lobate, and consists of caeca, situated anteriorly in the pericardium and developed from its epithelium; its degree of development varies considerably. The epithelial cells con- tain various concretions. Its function is probably renal, the products escaping into the kidney : probably it is homologous with structures already described in the Cephalopoda ; Grobben (2). 7. Nervous System. Some observations on the true nervous and connective elements in the central nervous system are described by Haller, in which certain Mol - In sea are incidentally referred to. The author comes to the conclusion that the central nervous network was originally distributed evenly over the whole surface of the body. In the nervous system of Gastropods the origin of the cerebro-sympa- thetic connectives from the anterior superior surface and the presence of two symmetrical ganglia in the angle between the oesophagus and lingual pouch are constant phenomena, and these two ganglia form the st.omato- gastric centre. Subsidiary ganglia are developed in correlation with specially elaborated portions of the digestive tract, but these are not to be confused with the stomatogastric centre proper; Lacaze-Duthiers (2). The visceral commissure of Prosobranchiata is chiastoneurous : it originates in the commissural ganglion, and has a subin testinal branch passing backwards from loft to right under the oesophagus and forming the subintestinal ganglion. Another branch crosses abovo the intestine, forming a supra-intestinal ganglion, and eventually joining the sub- intestinal branch ; Bouvier (4). There is no proboscidial commissure in the Ctenobranchiata , but there is a connective joining the right commissural ganglion with the sub- intestinal, and formed by the union of the right pallial nerves, which spring from the right commissural, and the sub intestinal ganglia. In the Cerithiidce its formation may be traced step by step. In Ampullaria the left pallial nerve is converted into a connective ; Bouvier (3). The nervous system of Conus has a general resemblance to that of Buccinum undatum} both being chiastoneurous ; the cerebral, commis- sural, and supra-intestinal ganglia are closely approximated, while the pedal and sub-intestinal are at some distance from them on the right side of the body. The points of difference are : long sympathetic con- nectives, two long sympathetic commissures — the posterior the larger — a visceral commissure, with two brandies directed backwards and to the left, and bearing three distinct ganglia. The Terebridce have a retractile proboscidian sheath, variations in which led Troschel to divide the group into five genera ; a step hardly justified, since they agree in having two salivary glands united in the middle line ; a double fold of the oesophagus, as in Buccinum, in the angle of which lie the nervous centres; the penis and siphon well-developed— a purple-gland. The disposition of the nerves is characteristic ; each cerebral ganglion sends two strong cords into the 36 Moll MOLLUSCA. proboscis, the outer giving off a slender nerve, at once tentacular and optic. Between these bundles are two formed by the pedal nerves. The light viscoral commissure bifurcates almost immediately, and sends a strong branch into the neighbouring tissues ; the visceral loop is long and narrow. In Pleurotoma babylonius the nervous system resembles that of Terebra in all essentials, whilst in P. nodifera it is on the same type as that of Conus virgo. It appears that the Toxoglossa are united by characters mainly negative ; they may be arranged in a series leading up from Buccinum, and perhaps ending in the Cuncellariidce, whilst the Prosobranchiata , as a whole, have a constancy in the structure of the nervous system, which justifies their erection into an order by Milne- Edwards ; within this group may be clearly distinguished two sub- divisions—one with two and the other with three nervous collars ; Bouvier (5). The Neritidcc and Helicinidcs present the three characters common to all Scutibranchiata : — (1) Four anterior pericesophageal nervous collars; (2) the origin of the stomatogastric system in a gangliouic proboscidian pro- cess on the cerebral ganglia ; (3) the existence of two long, pedal, more or less ganglionic cords, usually connected by transverse anastomoses. They are distinguished, however, by the orthoneurous pallio-visceral system, a character peculiar to these two families among the Prosobranchiata. This and other modifications are perhaps correlated with a change from inarine to fresh- water and terrestrial life, and may be illustrated in a progressive series in the following forms : Nerita peloronta , Neritina canalis, Navicella , Helicina brasiliensis, and H. sagraiana ; Bouvier (7). Ampullaria is both chiastoneurous and zygoneurous ; the right pallial nerve supplies the penis, which is an appendage of the mantle (apparently a unique arrangement). The epipodium is of pallial origin, being inner- vated by the commissural ganglia. The gills are homologous with the left gill and osphradium of the Zeugobranchiata. The genus should be placed among the zygoneurous Taniioglossa near the Caly ptncidcc ; Bouvier (2). Under Scutibranchiata are arranged a number of forms of Cyclobranchi- ata and Aspidobranchiata : they have (1) a loug cerebroid commissure, the ganglia having a forward projection united with that of the opposite side by a suboesophageal commissure ; (2) the stomato-gastrio system arising from this projection and the sympathetic ganglia widely separated ; (3) well-devefoped pedal ganglia and cords ; (4) pallial ganglia united with the pedal. These characters are of primordial significance ; Bouvier (1). See also id., (6) pp. 29 & 30 antea. In Dolabella rumphii the cerebral ganglia are united by a short com- missure and give off six pairs of nerves ; the most important are the ten- tacular, optic, and acoustic. The cerebro-pedal connective is thick, the ccrebro-visceral thin. Besides connecting cords, the visceral ganglia give off two pairs of nerves distributed to the integuments and the mantle. There are twelve or thirteen pairs of pedal nerves. The posterior visceral nerves are close together to the right of the middle line, and give off branchial and genital nerves. The distribution of the stomato- gaslric system corresponds with the disposition of the digestive tract, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll. 87 which consists of three principal portions — crop, gizzard, and stomach, each of which is provided with a special armature of hard parts ; Amau- drut (1). The nervous system in Achatina panthera and Bulimus fnnlci is de- scribed in detail ; the retractor muscles of the central ganglia, described by Sicard in Zonites , are probably nerves. In Vaginula there is, properly speaking, no sub-cerebral commissure, but there is a filament similar to that called “labial commissure ” in Limncea ; the visceral chain consists of five (possibly six) ganglia, which furnish an argument against v. Jhoring’s classification of Vaginula along with OnchicUum ; Amaudrut (3). The nerves of the heart in Helix pomatia are non-medullated, but have a nucleated sheath. There are two trunks, the larger of which forms a plexus, while the smaller forms a small ganglion of seven or eight cells, and then ramifies in the ventricle. The muscles are accompanied by nerve-fibres throughout their whole length ; Tramrustj. In the nervous system of Cardium edule the results of Duvernoy have been confirmed and extended by Drost (1). Four kinds of sensory epithelium were observed : (1) pigmented epithelium sensitive to light ; (2) long-haired cells embedded in a depression of the cirrus-point ; (3) penicillate cells with short hairs ; (4) broad brush-cells projecting through cuticular warts. A distinct hyaline layer is found everywhere below the epithelium of the siphons ; their main mass is composed of longitudinal and circular muscles, but there are other fibres at right angles to both these, and two delicate layers just below the epithelium. Bottle-shaped pigmented glands occur in patches at the upper end of both siphons. Two other forms of glands are described; one bottle-shaped on the mantle-margin and below tho ciliated epithelium ; the other also on the mantle-margin, as well as on tho parts covorod by the young epicuticula or the shell. The author agrees with Flemming’s views on the nature of connective tissue. 8. Organs of Sense. Patticn (2) has made the eyes of Molluscs the subject of an elaborate memoir. (I) In Area there are three forms : (1) facetted, aggregated, and placed anteriorly and posteriorly on the mantle edge ; (2) inVaginate, on the mantle below the opening in the shell through which the byssus projects ; (3) pseudolenticulate, occurring irregularly among the invagi- nate forms. Each individual has about 1300 eyes. The compound (facetted) consist of 10-80 “ ommatidia,” each of which is wedge-shape and has a central core of two fused retinophorm and a double refractile rod or perceptive element. These arc surrounded by two rows of pig- mented retinuloe,” each having a homogeneous cuticula on its outer extremity. The nerve-fibres are connected in a manner described with the pigment cells and with the retinophorse. The invaginate eyes are thickened portions of the hypodermis, but have the same essential elements as those just described. The pseudo-lenticulate eyes are transi- tional, forming definite groups of non-invaginate ommatidia, with a prominent lenticular thickening of the cuticle. (II) In Pecten the forma- tion of images by the lens has been observed and is described. Some 38 Moll NOLLUSCA. eyes occur in which the retina is fully developed, though the pigment is continuous across the pupil. (1) The external surface is covered with pigmented epithelium up to the cornea, where it suddenly becomes much thinner ; (2) the cornea consists of columnar cells ; (3) the iris of larger cells filled with pigment ; (4) the stalk is of loose tissue and has enor- mous blood spaces, with erector and depressor muscles, which are replaced anteriorly by fibres forming a hyaline pseudocornea ; the lens consists of * a group of mesoderm cells suspended in a large blood sinus. The poste- rior portion of the organ is a thick concave disc enclosed in a mem- branous ommateal sac, the cells within which form a closed vesicle with obliterated central cavity. (1) The anterior wall consists of : (a) an outer ganglionic layer; (b) an inner ganglionic layer; ( c ) the retino- phora ; (d) rods containing the retinidia. 2. The posterior wall is com- posed of : (n) an outer vitreous network ; (5, c) an argentea made up of two modified layers of cells ; ( d ) a red tapetum. The optic nerve divides into two branches : one enters the eye axially, the fibres forming the axial nerve-fibres of the retinophorae ; the other ascends towards the shell side of the retina, its fibres uniting with the ganglionic layers. The development of the eye in Pecten is by transitory cups, probably homo- logous with the invaginated eyes of Area. Other species are also investi- gated. In the theoretical part of the work the Molluscan ommatidium is defined as consisting of a doublo cell, the retinophora, with two nuclei and an axial nerve-fibre. Four types of eyes are recognised — diffuse, invaginate, facetted, and pseudo-lenticulate — and the theory is broached that eyes have originated from “ heliophags,” or organs for the absorp- tion of solar energy. This memoir has been criticised in the Quart. J. Micr. Sci. xxvii, p. 285 ; the author’s reply will be found in Zool. Anz. x, pp. 256-261, 1887. The “ eye ” of Pecten is probably a phosphorescent organ ; Sharp. In Pecten jacobceus the thin peripheral margin of the layer of p;gment cells passes into the retina, the sensitive region of the optic vesicle being turned away from the light. This difference from other Mollusca may be accounted for by the lens in the latter being a secretion formed with- in the optic vesicle, whilst in Pecten , as in the Vertebrata , it is of cellular origin, and developed externally to the vesicle ; Butschlt (2). The retina of Helix contains both pigmented and colourless cells ; the latter are flask-shaped, and their contents do not stain, but harden to a clear gray mass in osmic acid ; they are not regularly polygonal, but interca- lated between the others, in all forms from a polygon to a star. The pigmented cells have a clear central space and a homogeneous cell-body, very different from that of the others ; the centre is highly refractive ; Carriers. Onchidium chameleon has small papillae, and no eyes, while 0. ddmelii has three on each papilla ; the eyes multiply by division, semi- detached examples not being rare. The lens consists of one cell, and a sphincter muscle for accommodation is present. Below the ganglion- cells of the optic nerve are others which contain highly refractive plano- convex bodies, and below these again other elongated hexagonal cells surrounded by pigment-cells. In a space at the bottom of each hexagonal ANATOMY AN t) PHYSIOLOGY. Moll. 39 cell is a tapering conical rod passing through it and entering the gang- lionic layer. There are secondary concave lenses at the upper ends of the facets to counteract the main lenses, which are too powerful for use in air. 0. damelii does not retract its eyes on the close approach of foreign bodies, which may indicate that it is far-sighted; Lendenfeld. In Pterotrachea the eye has, roughly speaking, the form of a cylinder, the hinder portion of which has been compressed from above downwards. The hindmost extremity being constituted by a curved boat-shaped appendage, into which the optic nerve passos. Tho cornea is largo and spheroidal, but always destroyed in removing the organ. Pigment has a remarkable distribution ; a broad band (broader dorsally than ventrally) with curved margius passes round the eye, and from its lack of pigment has received the name “ Fenster a darker stria runs along its centre. The pigmented posterior part is separated from the remainder by a dis- tinct ridge (costa) on the inner surface. The capsule of the eye consists of a structureless cuticle of moderate thickness, the interior being lined with columnar epithelial cells of varying lengths. The retina (1) occupies the posterior boat -shaped portion of the eye, and is not to be regarded as made up of different histological layers, but of one layer, whose elements may be distinguished into pedestals and rods, the former outside, the latter inside a delicate limiting mem- brane. (2) There is no reason to refer the fibrillar contents of the nucleated section of the retinal cells to a breaking up into nerve fibres, but rather to a formation of “ radiculse ” for fixation to the cuticle. (3) The length of the striated pedestals is determined by the height of their insertion iuto tho rods. (4) Since a number of pedestals are connected with each rod, these, like the rhabd<*ms of Arthropoda and Cephalopoda , are to be regarded as composite, but the components are disposed one above another, not side by side. Their striation is due to a simple laminar texture. (5) The rods are arranged in longitudinal rows, parallel throughout the whole retina, which (6) is divided into dorsal and ventral halves by a slit. (7) The retina is innervated by a layer of fibres running under the basal ends of its cells ; its dorsal portion contains small ganglion cells. (8) The structureless membrana limitans, between the retina and vitreous, gives off fibres which penetrate between the rows of rods. (9) The nervous fibres pass forwards, and can be followed to distinct epithelial processes in the region of the costa ; they seem to pass into large cells surrounded by pigment, whose function is doubtful. An account of the function of the various parts, and a comparison of the organ with that of other Cephalopliora is added ; Grenacher. Sepice deprived of eyes swim in the usual way, but more slowly ; when the otocyst is removed, either with or without the eye, this power is no longer retained, the animal losing control over its actions. These experi- ments are compared with those of Flourens on rabbits ; DelAge. 9. Generative Organs. The penis of Agriolimax maculatus , from Samarcand, possesses a firmly attached oval calcareous extremity with a double spur ; this supports the 40 Moll. MOLLUSCA. theory that the function of the spiculum ainoris is to stimulate the other individual in copulation by prolonged cuticular irritation ; the pecu- liarities of the species do not connect it directly with other forms, but point to an independent origin in Central Asia, the home of the genus ; Sim roth (5). Male genital organs of Helix and Zonites correspond, except as regards the flagellum ; the vagiua includes a glandular and a copulatorj' portion. In Zonites the glandular portion is more primitive than in Helix ; the forms with one duct sac and multifid glands in two packets are the most highly differentiated forms ; Dutilleul. The function of the spiculum amoris as Gopulatory is indicated by the condition in certain species of Ariophanta and Tennentia described by Semper, where it is perforated ; the Vitrinidce seem to furnish an inter- mediate stage, which agrees well with the systematic position they occupy in the Pulmonula ; Simroth (4). In Vitrina elonc/ata , Drap., the spiculum amoris is composed of chitin or conchiolin, and has the form of a curved funnel leading put from a glaud ; hence it is not homologous with the analogous organ of Helix. This is compared with the state of things in other Vitrince ; the glandulm mucosae are described, and a classification based on these compared with one founded on the radula. The general anatomy of the genus being taken into consideration, the conclusion is drawn that the “ Vitrince are to be regarded as a divergent stem, perhaps connected at its root with the aulacognathous Hyalines , and lead on to the Limacidce by continued retro- grade metamorphosis”; Wiegmann. Copulation of Limax tenellus , with figs, of organs ; Simrotii (1), p. 2G.

[1] Karyo/cinesis in the sperm-cells of Helix. — The spindle-fibres are really the persistent framework of the regular coil, the chromatin of which has been con- centrated at the equator, while the unstained ground-substance persists in toto. The microsomata seem not to be solid, but disposed on the framework of the coil like pearls on a string. The spindle is formed from the coil-framework by the concurrence of the individual segments of the latter in one point at the poles, thereby becoming more stretched, and entering into intimate connection with the protoplasmic masses. When division is slow the pole-plates can be seen to separate from the spindle- fibres and become regular nuclei ; the spindle fibres contract towards the. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll . 41 equator, fuse together and form triangular or hook-shaped structures attached by the apex to the equator. After division this structure retreats towards the centre, and the limbs of the hook form a closed figure, the accessory nucleus ( il Nebenkern ”). An analogous process is observed where the protoplasm does not divide. The framework of the coil, the spindle-fibres and the accessory nucleus have a genetic connection, being all modifications of the same element. The process may be summed up as follows : “ After the chromatin of the nucleus has divided into microsomata, these arrange themselves into regular curved rows ; the accessory body enters the nucleus and forms the framework of the coil, the latter as the spindle-fibres ; while the chromatin concentrates in the granular equatorial plates, the spindle-fibres come into direct connection with the protoplasm at the poles ; after division of the chromatin sub- stance, the resulting pole-plates form anew regular nuclei, and the ‘ anaphasis ’ either repeats inversely the stages of the ‘ prophasis,’ or the accessory nuclear body arises directly from the spindle-fibres,” according to the extent to which the protoplasm takes part in the division. Carnoy and Gilson’s investigations are criticised. [2] Oogenesis and spermato- genesis in Avion. — In the earliest stages a primitive sexual-cell is a homo- geneous substance ; granules form in it and granular protoplasm arouud it. These form (a) primitive ova, (6) spermatogonia and basal cells, (c) nutritive yolk-cells, ( d ) reserve germs. The peripheral cells are ova, and the central zone spermatogonia, characterized by the presence of a single large nucleolus. The accessory body is an outgrowth of the nucleus ; it • has a distinct membrane, and the chromatin is irregularly distributed within it. The ova have a larger quantity of protoplasm and a larger nucleus ; they increase in number as in Helix . The nucleus contains the germinal spot and another round body, the nucleolus. The accessory nucleus disappears in the ripe ova, and the spindle-fibres are formed from unstained substance contained in the germinal spot. The mature ova lie in scattered groups with spermatogonia between them, the intermediate substance being composed of connective tissue cells ; the reserve germs, however, do not originate from these, but from the sexual cells. [3] Oogenesis in Helix. — The ova are formed at intervals, and when ripe exhibit a single germinal spot. The nutritive cells are at first in contact with the ova, but afterwards lie in cavities and cannot be distinguished from the surrounding protoplasm. There is no vitelline membrane ; Platner (1). In Arion empiricorum the period between fertilization and egg-laying is variable ; two yellow folds in the uterus mark the position where the albumen is deposited ; the cavity of the uterus contains many sperma- tozoa ; polar bodies are present, usually three, the result of the division of two ; they possess distinct membranes ; their formation regarded as a necessary prelude to fertilization, but independent of it. Sperm usually penetrates at the vegetative pole away from the germinal vesicle ; only one sperm seems to be effective, subsequent ones disappear ; the head followed by the tail approaches the ’ germinal vesicle within which nucleolus-like “ karyosomata ” have formed. These are united by unstained bridges which afterwards disappear. The head of the sperm 1886. [VOL. XXIII.] D 4 42 Moll MOLLUSCA. now comes to a depression in the wall of the germinal vesicle, and at length separates from the tail ; the head splits longitudinally, each half being visible within the vesicle. There is only one aster associated with the segmentation nucleus, but a second afterwards appears. The pheno- mena of division are similar to those observed in Helix \ Platner (2). Embryology of Patella. — The mature ova (0T2 mm.) have a thick chorion radially striated. The micropyle is a large irregular opening, from the bottom of which arise two large polar globules ; one of these has a rounded extremity with an indistinct nucleus. Segmentation is on the usual molluscan type. Two unequal parts are first formed, both of which divide successively ; a third division at right angles to these pro- duces successively stages with five, six, seven, and eight spheres. The blastospbere has four large cells at the vegetative pole, which form the rudimentary endoderm, and at the beginning of gastru- lation grow inwards and assume a wedge-like form ; they then ex- pand into club-shaped cells which almost fill the segmentation cavity. Two cells become ciliated and form the apical plate, while the velar cilia are developed around the equator. A large “ endo-mesoderm ” cell now appears on each side of the endoderm, thus rendering the embryo bilaterally symmetrical. Each of these cells now divides, one moiety becoming the primitive mesoderm cell, the other forming a part of the lining of the mosenteron. The number of cells in the mouth of the blastopore now increases to eight, and it begins to move towards the future ventral surface, occupying the apex of a V-shaped furrow directed towards the velum. The cells which constituted the walls and floor of this V afterwards form the stomodseum. There is a lateral swelling on either side of the blastopore, and as it moves forward these unite behind it so as to form a median protuberance, the future foot. The velum increases by the formation of support cells, while the shell-gland has appeared even before the closure of the blastopore, and includes most of the dorsal surface behind the velum. On either side of the embryo cap is a cell with a bunch of long, straight hairs, perhaps sensory in function. The coelom appears as a space between the mesenteron and ectoderm ; the shell-gland becomes invaginated, and a nautiloid shell appears on the dorsal aspect of the embryo, the foot becomes more prominent, and the otocysts appear. A very large percentage of the embryos develop abnormally, so that the investigation could not be completed ; Patten (1). The development of Fissurella is described by Boutan, with illus- trations ; an abstract taken from a preliminary communication will be found in Zool. Bee. xxii, Moll. p. 39. The fertilized ovum of Doris has been watched during its passage down the oviduct ; it enters a large canal with branching tubes, lined with irregular nucleated cells; in this “ albuminous gland” it receives its first coat. The next portion is the “ shell gland,” and has smaller cells, these two constituting the “ opaque portion” (Hancock) of the albumen- gland. Next are convoluted tubes with a single layer of elongated granular cells, secreting the jelly which unites the eggs into a string. D. testudinaria has a prostate gland ; Bolot. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY. Moll . 43 Prior to the segmentation in Loligo pealii , the protoplasm collects at one pole, forming a germinal disc, which divides throughout its thickness.. It then splits into two layers, ectoderm and mesoderm, the former of which alone is present in the future long axis of the embryo, in which region also endoderm cells become separated off. Endoderm cells are not formed spontaneously from the yolk. The ectoderm and endoderm sur- round the whole yolk, while the mesoderm extends only halfway round ; Bruce. The egg-capsules of Fulgur contain each 12 or 14 eggs, with a quan- tity of albuminous material, which appears to be a proteid. Sometimes all the eggs develop, but, iu other cases, a large number serve as food for the rest. The non-developing eggs neither segment nor disintegrate, but are ingested whole by the other embryos. A single polar body is formed early and contains yolk-granules. The first two divisions are into equal parts, after which four completely protoplasmic micromeres are separated off. The macromeres do not divide any further, but new micromeres are developed and the gastrula is formed by epibole. The formation of the polar body is regarded as dependent upon the relative amount of yolk and protoplasm. Segmentation in Platyhelminthes , Annelida , Mollusca and Molluscoida seems to be referable to a common type. The velum is developed from paired ventral ectodermic folds ; in many forms it consists of a preoral band of large cilia, and a postoral band of smaller ones. The “ head-kidney ” is absent in Fulgur , but present in Paludina and Bithynia ; the secreting cells perhaps originated as part of a preoral velar area. The cerebral and pedal ganglia develop as usual from thickenings of the ectoderm ; the latter have no connection with the byssus gland. The typical apical thickening is found in pul- monates but not in Prosobranchiata ; McMuiirich (2). In an early developmental stage of Sepia there is below the digestive tract a space bounded above by the mesoderm, below by the vitelline membrane ; it contains cells derived from the vitelline membrane and also free nuclei which do not form cells but result from cells the con- tents of which have swollen up and become invisible. Two ccelomic cavities pass, one on either side, between the branchial hearts and the median arterial heart. Their inner walls afterwards form the pericardium and their outer walls the envelope of the branchial hearts ; thickenings in the walls of these latter give rise to the pericardiac gland, while the generative glands arise on the hinder margin of the ccelomic sacs. A comparison is instituted between this and the state of affairs in Cyclas ; SCHIMKEWITSCH. In the Stylommatophorous Pulmonata the rudiment of generative organs may be observed in larvae just before extrusion as a fine cord of cells with a distinct lumen, at the side of the right cerebral ganglion ; this, the primary duct, elougates, and the hermaphrodite gland appears further backward : these are both mesoblastic in origin. The duct and gland unite, and the penis is developed as a caecal diverticulum of the former. In animals 4-5 mm. long, the vas deferens grows out from the penial sac, the primitive duct splits into male and female portions, and the outer genital aperture is formed. Primitive ova are also developed in 44 Moll. MOLLUSCA. the hermaphrodite gland. By the time the animals are 7-9 mm. long the organs have assumed their permanent form, except that the receptaculum seminis does not appear until a length of 12 mm. has been reached. The generative apparatus of the Stylommatophora is more primitive than that of the Basommatophora ; the temporarily-separated portion of the duct appears to correspond with the male ducts of closely allied forms ; the genital aperture is the homologue of the female aperture of the Bas- ommatophora ; the penis and vas deferens are recent acquisitions, having been developed since the Pulmonata separated from the main stem of the Gastropoda. The disposition of the generative organs, which is perma- nent in the Prosohranchiata , is temporary in the Pulmonata ; in these latter they are laid down on the female plan, and only become hermaphrodite by subsequent modifications. Three forms of cells have been found in the foot-gland of the adult. The “ sensory ” colls of Sochaczewer have not this function, but are the boundaries of the apertures of glandular cells ; these are arranged in two chief masses, one on either side of the efferent duct. Calcareous cells were present in the liver from the commencement. The foot is continuously ciliated, and cilia are also present in the right mantle-margin in the region of the res- piratory cleft ; Brock. Butsciilt (1) differs from Spcngel as to the mode of rotation by which the chiastoneural arrangement of the Prosohranchiata has been produced. The asymmetry concerns not only the nervous system but also the intestine and anus ; the latter has been displaced forwards on the right side in consequence of the presence of the shell. At a certain stage of development, while the anus is still posterior, a narrow dorso-ventral zone on the right side between it and the mouth ceases to grow ; the growth of the left side continues, and the longer this takes place the more is the anus displaced towards the head. The region of sup- pressed growth extends beyond the anus as far as the left gill, which thus participates in its displacement. The visceral sac also undergoes an independent torsion. Development of chromatophores has been studied in Sepiola rondeleti ; radiating fibres are not muscular but connective. A vesicle appears in the centre of a mass of yellowish pigment and coloured granules col- lect in it ; the cells around this vesicle are arranged radially : their nuclei elongate, their protoplasm forms fibrils, and their inner ends become continuous with the central cell. The movement of the coloured granules in the vacuole has given rise to the idea that the chromato- phores are amoeboid ; Phisalix.

Stray Biological Notes. The occurrence of poisoning by mussels at Wilhelmshaven has given rise to numerous papers and articles. Mobius (1) gives an account of a comparison of the mussels from Kiel and Wilhelmshaven ; he does not admit the existence of two varieties. Details of physiological experi- ments with them are recorded by Falck, while Drost gives the results of some analyses. Lohmeyer (1) establishes a n. var. striatus of the Mytilus edulis for the poisonous mussels, and lays stress upon the proba- bility of their having been imported into the harbour at Wilhelmshaven ; he also points out that the poisonous property does not depend upon the systematic difference, but upon the individuals having lived in unfavour- able surroundings ; it is, however, more often found in the variety than in the typical form.- In another paper (2) he recapitulates the diagnosis of his variety of the M. edulis. The question of varietal or specific dis- tinctions in the poisonous mussels of Wilhelmshaven is discussed, with many quotations by Kobelt (10), and the probability that some are transported Mytilus galloprovincialis shown. Von Martens (6) does not accept the hypothesis of two distinct varieties, but thinks the differences observed are merely individual, due to varying habitat, &c. ; he gives a number of references to previous instances. Schulze also is opposed to the hypothesis of two varieties. The poison of Mytilus has been examined ; both aqueous and alcoholic extracts are poisonous ; there is a non-poisonous base, producing salivation and diarrhoea, and a poisonous decomposition product, which belongs to the ptomaines : Baumert. Brieger has isolated this and names it “ Mytilotoxin.” Wolff (2) communicates that not only the mussels but starfish from Wilhelmshaven were poisonous if taken from certain points in the harbour, and that the virulence was greater the more stagnant the water ; the poisonous nature of the mussels dimin- ishes at certain seasons ; he concludes that the property depends on living in stagnant water, and shows that the poison does not exist ready-formed in the water; discussion also reported. He also states (1) that poison resides only in the liver. Virchow (1) sums up the contributions, repeating the conclusion that when the mussels are seen en masse, cer- tain peculiarities are visible, which are less noticeable in the normal mussels than in the poisonous ones ; the poisonous specimens lose their dangerous character when kept for some time in aquaria : id.

Abnormalities. Galyptrcea spirata is a monstrosity of C. chinensis , due to its living in soft mud, where the only basis of support is Turritella communis ; this reaches only a breadth of 12 mm., so that the Calyptrcea is limited to these dimensions ; when free it attains twice the diameter; Kobelt (9).

The general subject of deep-sea Mollusca is treated by Dall (4). Large shells are rare in deep water, and those which occur are very dolicato ; nearly all aro thin and fragilo, with faint colours and delicate sculpture ; sometimes thin blister-like elevations are found on the shells. The tissues of the animals are soft and gelatinous. The greatest wealth of Mollusca is to be found in the archibenthal zone (“continental area” of Agassiz), intervening between the littoral and abyssal regions. The soft mud of the sea-bottom affording no resting-place for them, the stems of hydroids and the spines of echinids are used. Nearly all are flosh-eatcrs, living upon doad organisms, not on oacli other. There is “in the deep sea a very wide range of variation in form and sculpture within the specific limits of” what are termed “ the * flexible * species, and an almost complete uniformity over very wide areas of the forms which we may consider as inflexible species.” See also Perrier. Watson, pp. iv & v, sums up evidence of ‘ Challenger ’ collection regard- ing distribution. Depth has considerable influence in this regard, but temperature more : pressure is not so important. “ The occurrence of a living species in a fossil state will always justify the expectation of its having a wide local distribution, and vice versa? “ There are existing species whose distribution is universal.” There is “no proof . . . of progressive permanent and essential change in Molluscan development.” Many genera are mentioned by Chierciiia. See also Picaglia. Bathymetrical distribution of Cephalopoda discussed, and evidence adduced to show that certain forms ( Cirroteuthis , Bathyteuthis , Masti- goteuthis , &c.) are truly abyssal ; Hoyle, (1) pp. 230-234.

The author considers that the Pteropoda are really Opisthobranchiata , and that the Thccosomata and Gymnosomata should be dissociated from each other and placed in this order as suborders or tribes ; for them the new names Eupteropoda and Pterota are proposed. No support is given’ to the alliance between Cephalopoda and Pteropoda maintained by various writers. Nervous system, Pelseneer, (5) cf. pp. 19 & 28, antea . GYMNOSOMATA. Boas (2) places these also noar the Tectibranchiata , but cannot decide their more precise affinities. He classifies them directly into the fol- lowing genera : — Pncumodermon (3 spp.), Spongobranchcea (1 sp.), Dexiobranchcca (4 spp.), Clione (1 sp.), Cliopsis (2 sp.), Halopsyclie (1 sp.), and Tlili- ptodon (1 sp.). Pelseneer (2) divides the Gymnosomata thus : — 1. Pneumonodermatidce , containing Pneumonoderma , Dexiobranchcea , Spongio branchoea. 2. Clionidce, containing Clione. 3. Ilalopsychidai , containing Halopsyclie (= Eurybia). 4. Notobranchceidce , containing : — Notobranchcea, n. g. : only one posterior branchia, composed of three crests (one dorsal, two lateral), the dorsal alone fringed. Posterior and anterior lobes of the foot long and narrow, the latter free in their posterior two thirds; for H. macdonaldi, n. sp., Atlantic. The genus also includes Clio capensis , Rang.

Pterop. u. Heterop., p. 95) ; id. t. c. p. 174. THECOSOMATA. Boas (2) regards these as nearly related to the Tectibranchiata , and especially to the Bullidce. No sufficient proof of their existence prior to 66 Moll . MOLLUSCA. the tertiary epoch is established. They are classified in three families as follows : — Limacinidce : 1 genus — Limacina (6 spp.). Hyalceidce : 3 genera — Cuvierina (1 sp.), Cleodora (12 spp.), Hyalcea (11 spp.). Gymbuliidce : 2 genera — Cymbulia (1 sp.), Tiedemannia (1 sp.).

This last consists of a cartilaginous lamella covered with cells on either side and containing the reproductive organs in its folds. It serves also as an organ of reproduc- tion. The arms aro formed of cartilaginous material, and are penetrated by two canals, one of which sends branches to the cirri ; the canals also form a plexus round the oesophagus and communicate by two small openings with the coelom. There are eleven muscles, the most important being the adductors and protractors and those which fix the arms. The anus is in the middle line of the body, and slightly dorsal ; the alimentary canal is ciliated internally ; the liver is simply cellular, and has a delicate sheath of cartilaginous tissue, wanting in Discina and Lingula. Proper circulatory and respiratory organs are absent. The sexes are separate ; the ovaries are modified coelomic epithelium with a connective tissue plexus. There is an oesophageal nerve-collar, from the dorsal swelling of which the brachial nerves proceed, the mantle, viscera, and muscles being supplied by the sub-oesophageal portion. The general relations of the group are discussed ; Joubin. The shell of Lingula pyramidata consists of horny and calcareous layers alternately ; a cuticle is continued over the whole surface of the shells and the peduncle, below which, as also in other parts of the shell, are clusters of small homogeneous corpuscles, probably homologous with those in the vortical septa of the Testicar dines. The horny layers aro produced into the peduncle as a “ supporting lamella.” The cuticle is probably a modified larval integument, and the shell contains in all parts processes of the coelom. The body -wall, mantle, and peduncle all’ consist of epithelium, both ectodermal and peritoneal, and supporting tissue. The character of the ectoderm varies in different parts of the body, being furnished in certain regions with oval structures like taste-bulbs. Immediately below the ectoderm is a supporting substance, the central nervous system intervening in certain places ; where this is the case spindle-shaped nucleated cells occur. The supporting tissue also contains certain calcareous plates comparable with those found in the Testicardines. In the peduncle the supporting lamella becomes a net-work enclosing bundles of spermatozoa. Many structures previously regarded as mus- cular have no claim to this designation. No pulsating organ was found ; four kinds of corpuscles found in the coelomic fluid are described. The interior of the alimentary, canal, is ciliated, and from the stomach hepatic caeca are given off. The nervous system recalls that of Waldheimia ; there are five ganglia — one sub-oesophageal, two ventro lateral, and two supra-cesophageal — which are united by connectives and commissures. The cord between the ventro-lateral and supra oesophageal ganglia gives off pallial nerves and passes along the base of the arms, which are them- selves supplied by the supra-oesophageal ganglia. The existence of Schulgin’s sensory cells is doubtful. Lingula is hermaphrodite, but the two kinds of sexual elements are not developed at the same time. The genital products are derived from the coelomic epithelium in the mantle ; in the visceral chambers the ovaries occupy the mesenteric bands, the spermatozoa the peripheral walls. The segmental organ appears to act as sperm-duct as well as oviduct ; Beyer. GENERAL AND ANATOMICAL — ARTHROPOMATA. Brack. 5 Beyer (2) describes sections of the so-called “hearts” of Lingula (“ segmental organs ” of Morse), and finds the internal end of them in connection with a diverticulum of the alimentary canal, which may, however, be pathological.

LIST OF PUBLICATIONS, GENERAL AND ANATOMICAL. Pol. 3 Vine, G. R. Report of the Committee, consisting of Dr. H. C. Sorby and Mr. G. R. Vine, appointed for the purpose of reporting on recent Polyzoa. Cheilostomci and Cyclostomata. Rep. Brit. Ass. 1885, pp. 481-680 ; abstr., J. R. Micr. Soc. 1887, p. 67. General and Anatomical. Vine’s Report is a compilation of all available material regarding the systematic arrangement aud distribution of recent Polyzoa. After intro- ductory observations explaining the terminology, the classifications of Busk & Hincks are given ; then an alphabetical list of families, genera, aud species. Then follows a systematic list in which the families and genera are defined. Lists of synonyms, with the adopted names, are added, from Hincks & Busk. Geographical aud bathymetrical distribution are fully treated, lists being given of forms from the different regions of the globe. Abstracts are given of several published papers and a bibliography. In the marine Ectoprocta the vegetative end of a stolon consists of homogeneous indifferent tissue ; in most cases this differentiates into the parietal endocyst, which continues to thicken, and the central endo- cyst, which always maintains its vitality and remains indifferent. In some cases this differentiation does not take place. When, however, it is com- plete, an ectodermal tissue is enclosed in a pouch composed both of endo- derm and mesoderm, in the centre of which a small mass of shells, the future intestine, becomes isolated. As soon as the polypide has appeared in the zocecium various organs are formed. “ The tentacles, with their flagellate epithelial cells, and the epithelium of the lophophore and of the oesophagus, no doubt represent the ectoderm. The tentacular sheath consists internally of a layer of delicate flattened cells, which appear to be ectodermal. The parietal endocyst, differentiated and specialized as it is in Flustra, may be regarded as forming an outer skin, or somewhat more definite ectoderm. All the parts in the zooecium, which are con- tained . between the outer skin and the intestinal epithelium, with the internal epithelium of the tentacular sheath, form the mesoderm and the geueral cavity Joliet. The rudiment of a digestive canal observed by M. Joliet is merely a mass of lymphatic cells, comparable with the lymphoid cells of Annelids described by Kukenthal. The figures of Nitsche are defended against certain criticisms of the former author ; Ostrooumoff (4). The Cheilostomata are distinguished as calcareous, with a typically tetragonal zocecium, a semicircular operculum, and spicules, which pro- bably increase their respiratory surface. Their zooecial skeleton has pores of communication on either the basilar or lateral surfaces. The Ctcnostomata are chitinous and have no operculum. Two varieties of ovicells are distinguished: — (1) Those consisting of a whole zooecium modified except the digestive tract ; (2) those which occur as organs on certain zocecia. The ectoderm lies below a cuticle ; as development proceeds the protoplasm gathers round the nuclei, producing a reticulate appearance. The ectoderm gives rise to the epithelium of the tentacular 4 Pol. POLYZOA. sheath, the stomodaeum, proctodaeum, superior cells of the tentacles, and the ganglia. The endoderm produces the mesenteron, and with it the brown mass is associated ; this is probably a stomachic caecum, modified and containing a quantity of detritus. The mesodermic cells may be described as funicular. The muscles are divided histologically into three groups, which are described. The reproductive organs are mesodermip ; their products are discharged into the cavity of the zooecium, and thence into the tentacular sheath. Three types of larvae are distinguished and described. (1) The calcareous skeleton of the Bryozoa is deposited between the cells of the ectoderm, which exists throughout the life of the zooecium, and presents the appearance sometimes of a single layer under the skeleton ( Mem branipora ) , sometimes of a double layer enclosing the skeleton ( Leprcilia ). (2) The cavity of the body presents mesenchy- matous products, according to Hertwig’s classification, and has never any endothelial covering. (3) In the Cheilostomata the sucker forms the basal wall of the zooecium, and produces the stolon in Vesicularia. The new members of the colony are only formed by budding upon these derivatives of the sucker (except in the case of the opercular avicularia of Cellularia and Eschar ellci). (4) The polypide is formed at the expense of the ectodermal rudiment and of the brown body. At the com- mencement of its embryonic poriod the larva still presents a special organ, designated as “ calotte,” and destined to form this rudiment ; OSTKOOUMOFF (4). The ovary of Bugula calathus is attached to the neural wall of the sexual individual ; a struggle for existence takes place among the ova, which are thus reduced to one, or (rarely) to two. The ovary then becomes free, a follicular remnant forming the germ of a new ovary. The egg, now independent, passes neuralwards to the ovicell ; fertilization is pro- bably internal. The brood capsule arises as two diverticula from the distal wall ; these grow together, and enclose a space within which development occurs ; a layer of peculiar cells is found where the embryo is attached ; muscles are also present. Segmentation takes place first in the short axis, the next plane is also meridional, the third equatorial ; then two planes appear parallel to the first, and two others to the second. At this stage four cells may be seen within the blastocoel — the rudi- mentary endoderm — which are probably introduced by cpibole. They increase in number and form also the mesoderm ; cavities are developed in this mass of cells, and give rise to the coelom. An equatorial annular thickening takes place, giving rise to the ciliated corona ; and two invagi- nations take place on the oral surface, one of which is the suctorial pit, for the attachment of the larva. The second invagination is not the mouth, though often called so ; it may be termed “ anterior ectodermic groove.” At the aboral pole a thick flattened disc intrudes for some dis- tance into the anterior of the embryo ; a circular invagination surrounds this, and a pear-shaped organ results, regarded as a gland. When ready for metamorphosis, the larvae swim round and round, and from place to place, during which motions the discoid organ is protruded. The attachment, however, does not take place by means of this, but by the oral pole ; the aboral side of the larva enlarges, and almost all the dermal GENERAL AND ANATOMICAL. Pol. 5 surface of the primary animal arises from it. The larvae are not specially attracted by light. The discoid organ, ectodermal groove, and gland are withdrawn into the interior ; as also the flagella and cilia. The view of Barrois that the development is not a metagenesis, but a true metamor- phosis, is supported; Yigelius (2). The larvae of the Cyclostomata are the simplest among the marine Polyzoa. Their whole surface is ciliated ; there is a sucker at one pole, at the other the mantle cavity. The entodermal cavity disappears before the extrusion of the larva ; there are no provisional organs. The meta- morphosis begins with the protrusion of the basal wall of the primary zooecium and with the flexion of the mantle. The basal wall widens and forms a kind of stolo prolifer (“ lame germinale,” d’Orb.). The ectoderm of the polypide is formed of a plate split off from the ectodermal cells. The process recalls that which occurs in the Vesicularice. The Incrustata and Stolonifera unite the Cyclostomata and Ctenostomata ; Ostrooumoff'(2). In the larvae of freshwater Polyzoa the posterior ectodermal cells are much higher than those of the rest of the body, being possibly homo- logous with the sucker of marine Ectoprocta. The metamorphosis of Alcyonella is divisible into two stages : — (1) The mantle bends over on the basal side ; this is common to all Ectoprocta. (2) In the freshwater forms only the basal side and edges of the mantle are invaginated, so that the ascending portion of the mantle-cavity forms a canal, the walls of which soon fuse, and from which the body-wall of the primary zooecium is alone developed ; Ostrooumoff (3). The post-larval chauges in Pedicellina consist in a remarkable metamorphosis, and the first bud is formed after the primary individual is adult. The metamorphosis is perhaps an abbreviation of some more archaic process. The growing point of a stolon seems to consist only of ectoderm and cuticle, enclosing structureless jelly and con- nective tissue corpuscles : the brown bodies are regarded as degenerate polypides ; the degenerative process is too slight to give rise to them in Pedicellina ; Harmer. As the result of studies of the development of Lepralia , Bugula, Serialaria , and Pedicellina , full details regarding which are given, the following conclusions are formulated : — Two chief typical modes of metamorphosis may be distinguished — that of Phoronis and that of Pedi- cellina. The former is characterized by the predominance of the ven- tral surface, which forms the bulk of the body, and the reduction of the dorsal surface to a terminal region; the second by the predomi- nance of the aboral surface (cephalic aspect of the trochosphere), which stretches entirely above the oral surface in order to form the whole oxtornal surfaco of tho adult, whilst tlio wholo somatic face is crowded into the interior. The Polyzoa , as a whole, are placed in the second cate- gory, as opposed to Phoronis , and perhaps Bhahdopleura , in the first ; both are derived from the trochosphere ; Barrois. The Phylactolcemata may have been derived from such forms as Arachnidium and Victorella among the Gymnolcemata. The Paludicelloe with winter buds were probably the first to develop ; these “ hiber- 6 Pol. POLYZOA. nacula ” are true buds with embryos, having both endoderm and ecto- derm, and corresponding to the statoblasts of Fredericella. This last is regarded as a transitional form. Further modification takes place either by alteration in the chitinous cyst or multiplication of the tentacles. The lophophore becomes more developed ; statoblasts appear both with and without swimming ring ; the sessile ones disappear, replaced by spinose anchor-bearing forms. As regards Ontogeny , the spermatozoa originate in spermatides of the endoderm, the head corresponding to the nucleus, and a “ residual body” being present. The ova have a similar origin, and are surrounded by epithelial cells, constituting a simple ovary. Fertilisation occurs within theovary. Segmentation is complete; part of the ovum forms a maternal envelope and degenerates. The gastrula is embolic, and its cavity is the future coelom. Invagination takes place at the anterior pole, the ectoderm lining the alimentary canal and the ganglion being formed from it. There are three invaginations into the polypide, the two lateral from the lophophore, the median part of the mesenteron. The hypoblast of the gastrula is regarded as mesoderm, and the Polyzoa as a link between the Ccelenterata and the Enter ccelia. Nitsche’s accouut of the develop- ment of statoblasts is confirmed ; KrAepelin. The ectoderm never disappears in the Polyzoa , as asserted by Yigclius, as may be shown by staining with silver; Ostuooumoff (1).

Herbert Fowler, B.A., Ph.D. I.— INTRODUCTION. TiiE#year has been marked by great activity on the part of carcinologists, to which the publication of several * Challenger ’ Reports has contributed not a little. The Reports on Tsopoda (Beddard, 6), on Stomatopoda (Brooks, 22), on Brachyura (Miers, 142), on Cumacea and Phyllocarida (Sars, 184, 183), have enriched science with many new and strange forms, and contributed greatly to our knowledge of the phylogeny and ontogeny of their respective groups. Of the North Atlantic fauna, Smith (199) and Sars (186) record the forms obtained by the ‘ Albatross’ and Nor- wegian North Atlantic Expeditions respectively. The works of Claus (33) on the anatomy and development of Branchi- pus and Artemia , and of Reichenbach (174) on the development of A stacus, may fairly be said to stand at the head of the morphological investigations of 1886. One of the most interesting observations is that recorded by Weis- mann (218), the discovery of undoubted polar bodies in the partheno- genetically-produced ova of Phyllopoda , throwing a new light upon the various aspects of reproduction.

From these researches it appears that the mesoderm originates at two periods, from invaginated epiblast, and, later, from superficial epidermis. All parts of the eye, excepting actual nerve tissue, are derived from a superficial layer of elongated columnar epiblast, which multiplies into cell strings ; each of the latter becomes an optic element, and is not separated by an envelope of any kind from the rest. 90.

Locy (63) describes the development of Agelena ncevia. At one end of the ventral surface of the embryo appears a thickening, the primitive cumulus ; at the opposite extremity is the caudal thickening, and between these the ventral plate, which is soon marked by furrows into proto- zonites. Six of these are distinguishable, and from their lateral portions the appendages bud forth. The two first zonites are formed from the cephalic plate. The mesosomatic region bears provisional appendages ; the two posterior pairs of which form the spinning mammillae. At the base of the chelicerae, the poison-glands are formed from certain spongy cells, probably by invagination. The lung-sacs arise as a pair of invagi- nations. The caudal-plate gives rise to six metasomatic segments. The nerve-ganglia arise at the base of the appendages from thickened ecto- derm. The stomadoeum gives rise to the pharynx, oesophagus, and stomach ; from the proctodoeum are formed the stercoral pocket and the malphigian tubes. The development of the eyes is minutely described. Kowalewsky (57) describes, in detail, the formation of the germinal layers and the development of the alimentary, nervous, vascular, and genital systems of Androdonus ornatus. Bruce (14), treating of the embryology of Spiders, describes the con- version of two pairs of abdominal appendages into the lung-books by a process of involution : prior to the involution, the epithelium of the appendages assumes the characters or the epithelium of the lung-books. There is a fold in the blastoderm surrounding the cephalic region of the Spider-embryo, which corresponds to the amnion of Insects. Henking (37) describes elaborately the structure of the ovum in the Phalangidea. Carriere (21) describes the development of various kinds of eyes. In some Scorpions ocelli are present in a rudimentary condition. In Chelifer, the eyes are devoid of pigment ; each consists of a chitinous lens, beneath which are two layers of cells, one lenticular and one retinal ; there are no rods. The irregularity of the appearance of these organs in various genera of the Cheliferidce, shows that they are organs that are disappearing. The same author, making reference to the observations of M. Locy, on the development of the eyes in Agelena nceviat thinks that there is no constriction of the invaginated pouch, as described by that author. Anatomy. Grassi (32) gives a description of the anatomy and histology of Kcenenia mirabilis, a form intermediate between the Gigantostraca and ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY. Arachn. 7 the Arthrogastra. The branchiae have been lost, but no special organs of respiration have yet been acquired. Winkler (97) treats of the heart in various groups of Arachnida. This organ was observed in numerous Gamasidce. It is a short, broad organ, situated in the anterior portion of the abdomen; on the upper surface are two valvular openings; the aorta opens freely iuto the body- cavity above the cerebral ganglion ; behind and in front the heart is con- nected with the dorsal surface by fibres. A similar organ was noticed in nymphs and young females of Ixodes ricinus. In the Phalangidce, the heart lies in the anterior abdominal region, and is provided with two pairs of lateral clefts. In Chernetidce, the heart has not been previously observed. In young forms of Obisium silvaticum it was seen to be situ- ated in the three first abdominal somites, and to be provided posteriorly with a pair of clefts. As in the Phalangidce, a valvular fold separates the heart from the aorta. The arterial system of Scorpions, Houssay (39) maintains, consists of two groups of vessels — dorsal and ventral — which are connected with each other at the anterior end of the body ; the connecting vessels envelope the nerve-cords which run from the cerebral to the thoracic mass. The resemblance between the arrange- ment in the Scorpion and in Limulus is pointed out. Saint-Remy (78) states that the brain in Tegenaria domestica, Epeira diademata , and Phalangium opilio is formed on the same plan as in Scorpion. There are two sets of nerve cells, those with a layer of proto- plasm round the nucleus, and those without this layer ; these latter exist only in the brain, and are especially abundant in the optic portions of it. In Scorpion the ganglion for the pectines resembles structurally the antennary ganglion, hence it seems probable that the former appendages are sense-organs. The Araneina and Phalangida possess nothing like this ganglion. Bruce (15) also describes the structure of the brain. It is divided into an anterior and posterior portion by an ingrowth of investing peri- neurium ; the former innervates the rostrum, the lateral projecting portions of which resemble the antennae of Insects ; the latter supplies tho labrum, which, as in Insects, is a pairod structure. The mandibular ganglion is situated below this posterior portion. For remarks upon the presence of a heart in Gamasus, see Kramer (58) and Michael (69). Bruce (15) describes a sense-organ in the coxal- joint of the fourth pair of legs in a young Phrynus. The same author points out the resemblances between this Arachnid and Limulus. For the comparative anatomy of the Arachnida, see Nuhn (72). Bertkau (10) has studied the eyes of Spiders. Physiology. Dahl (26) has investigated the sensory powers of various Spiders. Attus arenatus was influenced by loud knocking; this species and Xysticus lanio could very imperfectly distinguish colours, but this faculty existed in Epeira cornuta and in Drassus quadripunctatus. A male Epeira pata- 8 Arachn. ARACHNIDA. giatct could distinguish odours. The Atlidce were very sensitive to odours, the Thomisidce but little so. By means of the sensory organs on the palps and limbs Spiders discover the presence and position of an insect in the web. Plateau (75) states that in female Arachnida the palpi are apparently of but little importance, their removal hindering neither the seizure of prey nor the spinning of webs. Michael (68) states that the supra-anal papilla in the female Glyci- phagus is the bursa copulatrix. MIsgnin (66) comes to the same con- clusion. Haller (33) has notes upon Cytochilus sarcoptoides and upon Tetra- nychus molestissimus of the Argentine Republic. A species allied to the latter appears to be the cause of the Port Natal Sicht , and possibly of the Erythema autumnale which obtains in the South of France. M^gnin (66) accounts for the sudden appearance of myriads of Mites by the following fact : During starvation all the organs of a young Glyciphagus become transformed into a gelatinous mass, which collects in the cavity of the thorax and becomes surrounded by a chitinous envelope. In this condition, entirely at the mercy of the winds, the creature remains until brought into an environment favourable for development. On the suicide of the Scorpion, see Baer (5) ; and for observations upon the effect of Scorpion stings upon human beings, see Thompson (93). Classification. Schimkevjtch (79) compares the Arachnida with the Insecta. The antennse of the latter are not represented in the former, but the post- oral appendages in the two groups correspond, pair for pair. With regard to the Pycnogonida and Arachnida , the four pairs of legs in each group are supposed to be homologous ; the mandibles answer to the chelicerae, and the palps and oviferous legs together to the maxillae. The larva of the A carina is compared with that of the Chilognatha . The Crustacean character of Limulus is maintained.. Oudemans (73) looks upon the Acaroulea as a special group, which should be separated from the Arachnoidea . The Tardigrada are allied to the Chcetopoda more nearly than to the Arachnida. Thorell (91) criticises the classification of the Araneidea propounded by Dr. Bertkau. For a discussion concerning the claims of two natural- ists for priority in formulating a particular classification of the A rach- nida , see Lankester (59, 60), Claus (23, 24), and Bertkau (9). For the anatomy and classification of the Phytoptidcey see Nalepa (71). Habits, Mimicry, &c. The Attidce , Bertkau (11) states, frequently resemble Ants ; so also do the Drassidce , and particularly the genera Phrurolithus and Micaria. Among the Thomisidce and Epeiridce this kind of mimicry is unknown ; but the Theridiidce furnish a beautiful example in Formicina mutinensis . HABITS, MIMICRY, ETC. DISTRIBUTION.

Micr. Soc. xxvi, pp. 175-212. Embryology. Heatiicote (15) calls attention to the connection of cell layers by means of cell processes in Julus terrestris. The nerve-cords are at first widely separated. The lumen of the malphigian tubes is continuous with that of the proctodoeum. Sedgwick (35), in his paper upon the development of Peripatus , gives a full account of the nucleus of the unsegmented ovum ; the male and female pronuclei, the structure of the gastrula, and the formation of the mesoderm are described, and the results which procoed from the dis- covery of the syncytial nature of embryo Peripatus are discussed. Anatomy. Saint-Remy (32) describes the structure of the brain in Scolopendra. It has the appearance of two pear-shaped lobes. These at the base are 188G. [VOL. XXJII.] E 5 4 Myr. MYRIOPODA. in contact, terminally they give off the optic nerves. Below they are continued into a mass from which anteriorly spring the antennary nerves, posteriorly the oesophageal commissures, and medianly the unpaired visceral nerve. Von-Ratli (31) describes minutely the histology and nerve supply of the sense-organs in the antennae and in the gnathochilarium of the Diplopoda. Physiology. Plateau (29) concludes that the function of the palpi in the Myriopoda Chilopoda is to clean the antennae and legs, and to maintain food in the mouth in a position most suitable for its mastication by the mandibles. The same author (28), after a number of experiments, has decided that blind Chilopods can distinguish between light and darkness ; that, whether blind or not, it is some time before a change from darkness to light is perceived ; that the duration of this time is not greater in blind than it is in Myriopods provided with eyes ; that the rapidity with which Myriopoda seek concealment is not only due to a wish to avoid the light, but is prompted by a desire to bring the whole surface of the body in contact with a damp medium. The phosphorescence of Geophilus is apparently due to a colourless liquid which is excreted from the whole of the ventral surface of the body ; Mace (22). Ciialande (6) has experimented upon the mechanism of respiration. During repose inspiration and expiration are due to movements in the respiratory apparatus caused by the contraction of the dorsal vessel, and that during activity similar effects are produced by the action of the muscles of the body and by the movements of the alimentary canal. According to Haase (13), the lip-glands of some Myriopods are of use in attachment to smooth surfaces. Classification. Haase (14) thinks that Scolopendrella stands nearest to the primitive Insect. It is distinguished by multiarticulated antennae, three pairs of jaws, twelve pairs of legs, and a pair of long caudal appendages in which is placed a spinning gland. The abdominal processes are homologous with the appendages of the two last pairs of legs in Maclnlis. Attaching great importance to these abdominal processes, the author (13) seeks to derive from a type resembling Scolopendrella the Myriopoda and Insecta. Grassi (10) gives a detailed account of the anatomical relations of the same genus. Its affinities with the Pauropoda , Chilopoda , and Diplopoda are discussed, and its resemblances with Machilis and Compodea described. Schimkiewitch (33) regards Pauropus as an ancestral type, and compares the larva of the Chilognatha with that of the A carina. Oudemans (26) thinks that the evidence of anatomy is in favour of the view that the Myriopoda aud Hexapoda form a natural group. Berlese (1) gives his views of the classification of the Chilognatha. DISTRIBUTION, CHILOPODA. Myr 5 Distribution. Europe. Meinert (25) describes a new species of Scutigera, from Spain, and a new Geopliilus, from Austria. Berlese (1) describes 9 new species and 1 new genus of Julidce from Italy, and Latzel (20) a new species of Strongylosoma from the same country. From Silesia, Haase (12) describes a new species of Craspedosoma. Asia.

Although the results of much investigation have been published in 1886, as is indicated by the large number of titles, yet no work of much extent or importance on systematic entomology has appeared during the year, Sely’s revision (652) of part of one of the tribes of dragon-flies being the chief. A great deal of attention has been given to the development of the egg in the ovary, and an important paper has been published by Korschelt (369) on this subject, which has also been eluci- dated by Stuhlmann (690), Blochmanti (58), Will (740), and others. A very extensive memoir on the interesting but still very obscure subject of the luminosity of Pyrophorus , the firefly of America, has boon given us by Dubois (154), and Heinemaun has also paid much atten- tion (281) to this subject. Perhaps the most remarkable work of tho yoar is the third series of Fabre’s “Souvenirs Entomologiques ” (173). This contains the results of a large number of minute but long-continued observations and ingenious experiments on the habits and instincts of Insects. It is written with great literary skill, and, though from certain points of view imperfect, will be read with pleasure by all entomologists and by some with keen delight. Forel’s (209) memoir, besides giving original observations of much importance on the senses and intelligence of Insects, may be accepted as a good summing-up of recent views on this subject ; and Wasman has published (722) some observations on the very curious relations between ants and the beetles that inhabit their nests. Poultou’s (560, 561) and Sasaki’s (630) memoirs contain matter of con- siderable biological interest ; and W. Muller’s study of the caterpillars of the Nymphalidce (475) is a great addition to entomological knowledge. Redtenbacher’s (581) paper on the wings of Insects is the most com- prehensive one that has yet appeared on that apparently simple, but really very difficult subject ; and Scudder’s review of Palseo-entomology (647) is a great boon to readers of English. In faunistic work much progress has been mado with some of the volumes of Godman & Salvin’s “ Biologia Ceutrali- Americana ” (247), and Distant (142) has completed his work on the Malay butterflies. 2 Ins. 1NSECTA.

Perhaps I may be allowed to again call the attention of entomologists who publish synonymy, to the advantage it would be if they would indi- cate what is now by appending some sign of the fact, such as “ n. syn.” I. — TITLES. 1.

[ Coleoptera.~\ Finding that at present no generalization is possible as to the produc- tion of light by living beings, the author presents this voluminous memoir as the first of a proposed series of researches on this subject. It is devoted specially to Pyrophorus noctilucus , examples having been obtained from the island of Guadeloupe. He gives an extensive biblio- graphy and historical resume , and then a chapter on the general charac- ters of the Elateridce , with special reference to Pyrophorus. He obtained eggs which he found to be luminous ; discusses at. great length (pp. 43-55) certain luminous larvae which have been previously (apparently in all cases erroneously) supposed to be those of Elateridce ; and (pp. 55-64) describes the larva of Pyrophorus noctilucus — it is luminous, and the larvae fight furiously, giving off light in a flashing manner while doing so. Chapter iii is devoted to the anatomy of the porfect insect : skeleton, digestive, circulatory, and respiratory apparatus, nervous system, and reproductive organs. Chapter iv is given to the anatomy and histology TITLES. Ins . 17 of the luminous organs. The second part of the memoir gives an account of many experiments he made on living insects, describes at great length the properties of their light, by means of which he was able to obtain photographs; he then considers the influence of mechanical, physical, chemical, and toxic agents on the production of the light, and this is followed by a chapter in which he discusses the various functions and their relations to the luminosity. The vital activity of the luminous organs seems to be very similar to that of the muscular system. Pp. 269-272 give a summary of his conclusions. In addition to the plates illustrative of the different parts of the memoir, there is given a photo- graph, executed by means of the light of Pyrophorus , of a bust of Claude Bernard.

This is not only an account of a series of most remarkable and ingeni- ous observations on the habits of Insects, but is also a very weighty polemic from the point of view of an observer of" instinct against the theory of transformism, or common descent. It contains some highly remarkable histories of metamorphoses in various orders, Hymenoptera being, however, the Insects most largely dealt with. There are twenty chapters: — The first four are devoted to the habits of Scolia , more especially S. bifascia ta , and the manner in which its larva lives at the oxpense of the larva of Cetonia ; and ho argues that the remarkable com- bination of perfect instinctive actions he portrays for us, could never have arisen by natural selection from ancestors with other instincts. This, indeed, is the leading idea of the book, to display the wonderful and minute perfection of the instinctive actions necessary for the main- tenance of the existence of the species, and to show that the existence being only maintained by this perfection, we are bound down to a theory of uniformity, v. Les parasites, is chiefly devoted to the theory of mimicry, which he considers to be an illusion that should be allowed to pass into oblivion, vi. La theorie du parasitisme, discusses the variety of instincts and habits included under the term parasitic, and shows that parasites work quite as hard as the insects they prey on, and have an organization specially adapted to their lives, thus rejects the theory that parasitism arose from occasional indulgence in habits of preying, and that these gradually became confirmed, vii. Les tribulations de la Ma^onne, relates to the habits of Chalicodoma muraria and pyrenaicar and the insects that live at their oxpense, or take possession of their con- structions. The next three chapters are devoted to details of the modes in which three of these insects — Anthrax trifasciatay Leucospis gigas , and Monodontomerus cupreus — destroy the larva of the Chalicodoma. xi. Le dimorphisme larvaire, gives an account of the discovery of two totally different forms of larva in Anthrax trifasciata , Leucospis gigas , Sapyga punctata , and probably also in Myodites subdipterus ; the first form he calls the form of acquisition ; it does not take nourishment, but has, for sole object, to obtain possession of the food, and this done, undergoes a complete change of external structure, xii. Concerns the habits of species of Tachyta , more especially of Tachyta) n. sp. ?, and the manner .in which it paralyses Mantis religiosa. xiii describes the metamorphoses of Cerocoma schaffleri, Mylabris Yl-punctata , and Zonites preeusta. xiv. Changement de regime, concerns the difficulty in effecting a change of habits among the predaceous Hymenoptera, the subject being continued in the next chapter, “ une piqftre au transformisme,’’ in which he argues 20 Ins. INSECTA. that it is impossible to imagine that these Insects of divers habits, which they cannot change, had a common ancestor. The last four chapters give the results of a remarkable series of observations and experiments on the sex of the egg : having observed that the amount of food provided by certain Ilymenoptera for the offspring varied much, ho farther observed th’at the quantity had a relation to the sex of the perfect Insect produced from the larva that had consumed the food ; he also found that the quantity did not determine the sex, but that this is decided by the insect when laying the egg ; and he discovered that the female Hymenopteron lays either a $ or $ egg, according to her own choice ; he also found that the sex of the egg is not decided by its fecundation, or non-fecundation, from the receptaculum seminis, and he considers that the mode by which the Insect influences or selects the sex of the egg is quite unknown.

Yer. 1878, accompanied by some notes relative to recent literature; at p. 30 commences an original memoir, entitled, “ Nouvelles et anciennes experiences,” relative to the perception of forms and colours. He describes experiments he made with Bombi and Wasps, showing that the former are very sensitive to colour, and he considers it certain that Insects perceive more or less distinctly the forms of objects ; argues that this is consistent with Exner’s accepted views, and criticises Plateau’s recent paper on the perception of the forms of objects by Insects. He states that he is still unable to comprehend the functional value of ocelli to those Insects that possess also facetted eyes. At p. 145 he commences an account of a series of experiments directed to ascer- taining whether the perception of the ultra-violet rays by Ants, is a function of the eyes, or of the surface of the body, and decides in favour of the eyes. He then discusses the photodermatic, or dermatoptic sense, and gives observations on the faculty of recognition in Ants ; and note on the function of the ocelli, and on the instinct of direction. Pp. 1 82— 214 contain a good discussion of the sense of smell, and the function of the antennas, and detail some observations on Insects whose anntenas had been amputated. He next treats of the sense of taste, and then moro briefly on hearing and touch, and ends with some general remarks and considerations on the mental faculties of Insects. [For notice, see J. R.

He commences with a sketch of the three principal kinds of these organs, and then passes to a historical review of the subject, dealing specially with the terminal threads and the terminal chamber. In a second part he details his own observations made on 14 species of Insects of several orders, discussing very fully — under Notonecta glauca — Will’s observations and conclusions. In part m he generalises his observations, and com- pares them with those of others. Discusses also tlio numerous differences in the earlier stages of the various cell-elements, and whether they can bo reduced to a common type, as also the bearing of his observations on Weismanu’s theory of the continuity of the germ plasma ; then passos to the similarity in the formation of the egg in Insects-and in Daphnidce.

Critical remarks on previous investigations, concluding with a summary of his results under twelve heads, the first being that the different cell- elements of the egg-tubes, eggs, nutrient cells, and epithelium arise out of homologous neutral elements, which are to be looked for in the con- tents of the egg-tube at its earliest foundation.

He includes Acrceinai, H eliconince, Nymphalince, Brassolince , Morphince , and Satyrince as subfamilies, and gives a supplement relating to larvae of Danaince. In addition to this large contribution to descriptive ento- mology, the memoir contains much other matter. The development of the markings, their character, whether protective or otherwise, and their relations to tubercles are discussed ; much attention is given to the TITLES. Ins. 49 spines, various points in connection with these being discussed at length. Some considerations in reference to the classification of the family are offered, and also as to the phylogeny of the larvae and pupae and the rela- tions of the various stages of the larvae and of the larvae and pupae to oue another. In an appendix, the primary setae of other families of Lepidoptera , the spines of the Scilurniidcv , and the caudal horn of Sphin- gidce are treated of ; this latter he considers to be a remnant of a former larger development of the spines, homologous therefore with the dorsal spines of Saturniidce. Finally, he recognizes three kinds of genesis for the spiny appendages of Caterpillars. The plates represent larvae and pupae, and details of their appendages, the cephalic horns being freely exhibited. ["For note on this memoir, vide Ent. Nachr. xii, pp. 346-348.] 476. x .

' / He first arranges the various kinds of protection of animals in two divisions, and then distinguishes different classes of his two groups. He gives numerous general statements as to the peculiarities of the larvae in many genera of Nymphalidce , and the various ways in which they offer protection. He states briefly his views as to their phylogeny (p. 357), and remarks on the peculiarities of coloration of the larvae in some other families of diurnal Lepidoptera , particularly Ilesperidce , and considers the question how a change in the means of protection may be possible ; he thinks it may be because no mode of protection is perfect. 477. .

The facetted eye he considers to be unfavourable for plane perceptions, and that its special advantage is appreciation of the third dimension of space — depth. He alludes to the origin of ocelli and facetted eyes by evolution from a hypothetical, un- developed primitive form, that could be developed in two directions. He contrasts the functions of ocellus and facetted eye, and considers the ocellus as usually associated with high intelligence. 490. Nussbaum, J. Struna i struna Leydig’a u owadow. Lemberg.

[ Diptera ;.] Immense loss being occasioned in Japan by this fly, the investigations here described were undertaken iu order to find a remedy. The author has ascertained the life-history : the egg being laid on the mulberry- leaves is swallowed by the silkworm, and the larva speedily passes through the walls of the alimentary canal, and ensconces itself in one of the nerve-ganglia, where it feeds on the cells, but after a time leaves this abode and enters the tracheal system, and takes up a position where it can get a supply of fat as food, and plenty of air. A remedy he suggests may be found by taking the food of the silkworm from bushes planted in spots that are not frequented by the fly. The paper also contains many anatomical observations. The plates aro satisfactory. The following are the divisions of the memoir: — i. External characters and habits of the adult fly. n. Sexual and other internal organs of the adult fly. in. Development of the maggot. iv. Diseases and symptoms either caused by or concomitant with the presence of the maggot in the silk- worm. y. Habits and anatomy of the mature maggot, vi.

This division has been, it is believed, rendered complete in itself: that is to say, anyone wishing to ascertain all that has been published in reference to the faunae of one of our regions can do so by reference to “ Faunistic.” Although each of the twelve regions is complete in itself, this is not the case with the subdivisions ; thus, anyone wishing to ascertain all that has been published about the entomological fauna of France should look not only to “ France,” but must also refer to the memoirs cited under ‘‘Collective Europe’’ and “Palaearctic region.” References to the synonymical and systematic changes affecting the species of any region are only partially referred to in this division. N.B.— In Plotz (556) several species of Ilesperiidce are described, their country being unknown ; in the same paper the locality “ Aburi ’’ occurs : I do not know where this is, so have not been able to refer these species to their proper places in Faunistic. c'Les animaux cosmopolites.

Preyer (44) has published the first part of a most important and in- teresting essay on the movements of Echinoderms: Experiments made with an Ophiurid gave evidence of the possession of a power to adapt itself to new situations, and appear to justify the application to it of the term intelligent ; the curious righting movements are referred to the “ muscular sense,’’ just as in the case of the frog : the effects of stimula- tion and the extent of irradiation were carefully investigated, and the work justifies its title of a “Comparative Physiological-psychological Investigation.” The nervous system of Echinus acutus has been investi- gated by Prouho (45)', who confirms the results of Loven on the peripheral nervous system of Brissojjsis. The innervation of pedicel- larim has been studied by Hamann (28.4). The vascular system has attracted many workers. Koehler (33) on Echinoids generally ; Prouho (46) on Dorocidaris papillata, and (47) Spatangus purpureus ; Cuenot (17) on Asteridae, and Koehler, (34) on Ophiurids. Hamann (28.2) and Beddard [Ann. N. H. (5) xvii, pp. 428-430] treat of the striated muscles of Echinoids ; and the former (28.1) describes some special glandular organs iu Sphcerechinus granularis , which he calls globifers. The Sarasins (52) describes the poison-apparatus of Gyano- soma urens , g. & n. sp, which consists of modified spines. The development of Comatula has been studied by Barrois (4 & 5), and that of Ophiopholis and Echinarachnius by Fowkes(25); Perrier (42) mentions a new Asterias — A. hyadesi — in which the young are attached to the mother by a prolongation of the buccal membrane.

Korotneft’s account (24) of Ctenoplana Jcowalevslcii, n. g. & sp., shows that, like Cceloplana , it is intermediate between the Ctenophora and the Planaria. Dinophilus is shown by Weldon (42) to have, in addition to its Turbel- larian characters, relations to the Archiannelids. For observations on Syndesmis, which appears to be intermediate be- tween the Turbellaria and the Trematoda, see FKAN901S (9). The histology of acoelous Planarians has been investigated by Delage (7), and the structure of rhabdoccelous forms by Bohmig (4). Hallez (15) has found what appears to be an olfactory organ in Mesostoma lingua ; the anatomy of M. personatum is the subject of a preliminary notice by Jaworowski (22).
