Abstract
ABSTRACT The investigations of which the result is here given were undertaken at the suggestion and under the guidance of Mr. Ray Lankester, and were carried on during the past year in the Histological Laboratory of Exeter College, Oxford. Specimens of Mytilus and of Cardium were kindly procured for Mr. Lankester by Mr. Charles Stewart, the talented curator of the museum of St. Thomas’ Hospital, and their investigation was commenced prior to Christmas, 1875; Anodon and Dreissena are abundant in the neighbourhood of Oxford; Area, Pectunculus, Spondylus, Solen, Mactra, and other genera were obtained by me through the good offices of the staff of Dr. Dohrn’s zoological station at Naples, when I visited that establishment in the winter of 1875—76. My observations and notes have continually been controlled by Mr. Lankester, a few of the drawings in the plates were made by him, and the nomenclature, wherever it is new, is suggested by him.
