Abstract
THIS is the first of a series of memoirs which is being prepared by the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee under the editorship of Prof. Herdman, to supply a want which “has been constantly felt of a series of detailed descriptions of the structure of certain common typical animals and plants, chosen as representatives of their groups, and dealt with by specialists.” The expense of preparing the plates in illustration of the first few memoirs is being met by a donation of Mr. F. H. Gossage, of Woolton. Prof. Herdman has omitted detailed references to original memoirs, the object of his manual being more to provide students of marine biology with a concise and accurate description of the appearance, structure, and life-history of the Ascidian than to publish a bibliography.
