Abstract
The Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science for May 1896 (vol. xxxix. part 1) contains:—On the blood of Magelona, by Dr. W. Blaxland Benham (p1. 1). The blood of Magelona papillicornis is totally different in structure from that of any other known Chætopod, in that it consists mainly of very small madder rose-coloured, non-nucleated globules, embedded (rather than floating) in a very small amount of colourless plasma; amongst the corpuscles occur isolated nuclei. It was originally demonstrated by Lankester that nuclei occur in the red fluid of the common earthworm, and this observation has been extended to sundry other Annelids by various observers.
