378 NOTES AND MEMORANDA, 
descriptions which he has drawn up, efficiently supply the want 
we have indicated, so far as the ciliate and flagellate forms are 
concerned. 
Mr. Kent’s work also embraces the general anatomy and 
physiology of the ciliate and flagellate Protozoa, in dealing with 
which he shows himself to be thoroughly acquainted with the 
most recent literature, and also a skilful exponent and able 
original observer. Mr. Kent still maintains James-Clark’s view 
as to the close affinity of the Flagellata and the Sponges, and 
although not altogether an acceptable theory, it serves in Mr. 
Kent’s hands to give a special interest to the various forms and 
colonies of the Flagellate Protozoa. 
We are glad to hear that a volume on the ‘ British Rotifera,’ 
by Dr. C. T. Hudson, of Manilla Hall, Bristol, who will always 
be remembered, not only for his numerous contributions to our 
knowledge of this group, but especially for his discovery and 
clear illustration of the most important member of the group, 
namely, Pedalion, is m course of preparation for the Ray 
Society. Dr. Hudson will have the advantage of making use of 
all Mr. Gosse’s beautiful drawings of Rotifera which that veteran 
student of microscopic organisms has placed at his disposal.
