organized than Protozoa. The first book treats of the texture 
of the connective tissue in general. The first portion of the first 
chapter gives a detailed account of the soft connective tissue in 
the Coelenterata_, dividing it into the simple connective substance 
and the fibrous connective tissue. The second portion gives an 
account of the hardened connective substance or the structure of 
the skeleton of the Coelenterata_, one portion discussing the cal- 
careous corpuscles of the polyps, another the more solid frame- 
work of the polyps ; and the last is on the development and sig- 
nificance of the axis of the Gorgonidse and Pennatulidse. The 
plates illustrative of this work are of the greatest beauty, and 
apparently of great accuracy of detail. The author having had 
the opportunity of examining the type specimens of Esper, Du- 
chassaing, and others, has thus been enabled to give diagnoses 
of many liitherto very doubtful or at least little-known species.
