Abstract
THE second part of the “Treatise on Zoology,” now appearing under the editorship of Prof. Ray Lankester, contains six chapters, the work of four different authors, graduates of the University of Oxford. An introductory chapter by the editor, on the Enterocœla and Cœlomocœla, deals with the main divisions of the Metazoa; Prof. E. A. Minchin writes on the Sponges; Dr. G. H. Fowler on Hydromedusæ and Scyphomedusæ; and Mr. G. C. Bourne on the Anthozoa and Ctenophora. The high character of the whole work, of which the volume previously published (Part III. Echinoderma) gave promise, is fully established by that now before us, and it can scarcely be doubted that this treatise will, for some time to come, be regarded as the standard English textbook for advanced students of zoology.
