found in the collection: some uncertainty respecting the species to 
which it really belongs still remains.

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.
