Abstract
THIS volume constitutes a further instalment of Prof. Macintosh's large monograph of British Polychasts, and its publication raises the hope that the entire work will be completed in a few years. The families described are amongst the most interesting and the most familiar to naturalists, yet they have probably never received such detailed treatment as is here accorded, with the result that we now have such a survey as Huxley first planned when he undertook professional work. The variety and beauty of this section of the British fauna will be a surprise to most naturalists.
