Excerpt from Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H. M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76, Vol. 20: Under the Command of Captain George S. Nares, R. N., F. R. S., And Captain Frank Turle Thomson, R. N.; Zoology In presenting this Report it seems desirable to give some explanation with regard to the arrangement of the work. We have always felt strongly the great importance of minute anatomical and histological investigation in describing sponges. Owing, however, partly to the unfavourable condition for histological purposes of a large proportion of the material at our disposal and partly to the limited space of time available for the completion of the work, it has been found impossible to work out the minute anatomy and histology of all the species in the collection. Hence we have found it advisable to investigate in detail some of the leading types only, and to confine our remarks on the subject to a special chapter in the Introduction, making them at the same time rather of a general nature.
