BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. 



Preparing for publication : 



Dr. Johnston's History of British Sponges and Corallines. 



To be printed and illustrated in the same style as the ' History of 

 the British Zoophytes,' to which this new work may be considered a 

 Supplement. It will contain a very full account of all that has been 

 hitherto written on the subject, and an original figure of every spe- 

 cies and remarkable variety will be given. Dr. Johnston intends at 

 the same time to avail himself of this opportunity of adding many 

 new figures of Zoophytes, contributed by his friends and acquired by 

 himself, since the volume on British Zoophytes was published. The 

 wood- cuts are already far advanced.
