Abstract
MR. RAY LANKESTER, in the current number of the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, gives the results of his examination of the embryo of the common Pond Snail (Limnaus stagnalis.) These are of great importance; first,because they show how much may be done by trained observation, with improved methods, of a very common form, which has already been studied by excellent anatomists; and secondly, because Mr. Lankester's previous investigations into the development of cuttles, Pisidium, and several marine gasteropods, enable him to form a sound judgment of the bearing of his discoveries upon questions of homology and of classification.
