About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1861 Excerpt: ...on zoophytes, &c. In Scyllcea, the mantle-margin is produced into flaps, bearing the gills on their inner edge. The foot is narrow, and grooved for clasping floating sea-weeds, on which they are borne about. Family Tethyad;e.

The gills are in two rows of shrub-like processes along the back, into which the liver-vessels enter. In Hero, Gclllna, and Nerea the tentacles are not retractile; but in Dot.oand Melibe, they are slender, and can be drawn into the graceful sheaths which support them like a candlestick. The Chiorcera of Puget Sound may perhaps belong to this group. Family Glaucidj?. Glaucus is a very singular creature. The foot is rudimentary, and it swims in the open sea, feeding on Jelly Fish and Veldlas. The gills are arranged on side-fins, spreading out like the snake-tails on a gorgon's head.
