Abstract
THE influence of so prominent, so highly cultured, and so energetic a naturalist as Sir Edwin Ray Lankester could not fail to have an important effect in his day, especially as the value and extent of his own original labours covered so wide a field, namely, from Protozoa to Vertebrates. Since his early paper on the developmental history of the Mollusca, with its twelve quarto plates, zoologists felt that here was a brilliant colleague, and his subsequent career more than justified the opinion, not to allude to the able men such as Benham, Goodrich, Willey, Sydney Hickson, Robt. Gunther, and others trained under him.
