dealing with the subject of animal luminescence may be found in Harvey's 

 book Bioluminescence (28). 



Among the protozoa the majority of marine dinoflagellates are lumi- 

 nescent, and many radiolarians also display weak luminescent powers. 

 The sponge Grantia is thought to be luminescent, and has yielded a 

 luminous extract on pulping. The production of light is a common occur- 

 rence in coelenterates and ctenophores, and occurs in many species. 

 Relatively few of the many marine annelids are luminescent, and of these
