Abstract
WHEN G. C. J. Vosmaer died in 1916, he left, all but completed, a monograph on the sponges of the Bay of Naples, on which he had been at work for more than thirty years. Those familiar with the fine quality of his work anticipated great things from this monograph, and it is to be hoped that it may yet be found possible to publish it. Meanwhile the piety of his widow, Madame Vosmaer-Röell, and of his friend Dr. G. P. Bidder, has led them to edit and publish as a separate volume the exhaustive “Bibliography of Sponges, 1551-1913,” which he had prepared for the monograph.
Bibliography of Sponges, 1551–1913.
Prof. G. C. J. Vosmaer. Dr. G. P. Bidder C. S. Vosmaer-Röell. Pp. xii + 234. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1928.) 15s. net.
