Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Sea-Pens or Pennatulariidae in the Collection of the British Museum: In the Collection of the British Museum The object of the present Catalogue is to give a List of all the genera and species of the family of Sea-Pens, or Pennatulariidae, known to exist in the collections of Europe and America. The letters B.M. after the specific names denote those species that are now contained in the Collection; and the absence of these letters indicates the species which are desiderata, and therefore desirable to be procured for the collection. These sheets were printed in October 1868, and were retained to appear with the remainder of the Catalogue. Since the above-mentioned period, two works have been published, viz.: - Richiardi. Monografia della famiglia dei Pennatularii. 8vo. Bologna, 1869. A. Kolliker. Anatomisch-systematische Beschreibung der Alcyonarien. Erste Abtheilung: Die Pennatuliden. Frankfurt, 1870. In the latter work, some genera here proposed have been established under other generic names. This Catalogue is the commencement of a 'Catalogue of Polypes and their Corals, ' of which it may be considered to be the First Part. The other Parts are in preparation.
