British Zoophytes: An Introduction to the Hydroida, Actinozoa, and 
Polyzoa found in Great Britain, Ireland, and the Channel Islands. By 
Arthur S. Pennington, F.L.S., F.R.M.S. London: L. Reeve

interesting history of the investigations that have been made into the 
subject, from those of Ferranto Imperato in the year 1599, down to 
Dr. Andre’s recent work, and then follows the general classification 
and distribution of species. Here it is gratifying to find that it is not 
external characteristics merely which have been described, but that 
the requirements of modern zoological science have been met by a 
good account of the typical internal anatomy, and even histology, of 
each of the three groups mentioned in the title. The classification 
followed is that of the well-known naturalist, the Rev. Thomas Hincks, 
but that of Professor Allman is also added. All known British 
species are described, and their various synonyms and habitats given ; 
but, in addition, many interesting passages from the works of Gosse, 
Johnston, Ellis and others enliven what would otherwise be mere 
enumeration of dry facts. Thus we are told that Dr. Landsborough
