BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



1341. Dr. Davis on " Cyanma coccinea," {Turris neglecta,) in the Seventh Volume of the ' Annals of 

 Natural History.' 



1841. E. Forbes, on anew Hippocrene, and some new species of Thaumantias in the 'Annals of Natural 

 History.' 



1843. Lesson. ' Histoire Naturelle des Zoophytes ; Acalephes/ a thick 8vo volume, forming part of 

 the ' NouveUes Suites h Buffon.' 

 This work is one of the most useful, and yet one of the most provoking, in its department 

 of natural history ; useful, because it brings together, verbatim, everything that has been 

 written upon the Medusse in Prance; provoking, because every attempt in it at an 

 arrangement or digest of the matter so collected serves only to make the obscure more 

 obscure, and the crude more crude. It is executed without any judgment, though with 

 considerable industry. Of what has been done outside of France it is a most imperfect 

 account. Nevertheless, for the present, it is indispensable to the student of the Medusse, 

 and includes the fullest list published of species and references. A few plates in which 

 some interesting species are figured are appended. I have compiled the following 

 Catalogue of Medusae, either naked-eyed, or possibly so, enumerated by Lesson, with the 

 localities given in his work, and the name of the original observer.
