The minute polyps are seen to con- tract spasmodically in feeding. Still more fascinating are the graceful movements of the free-swimming medusoid individuals of both sexes once they have merged from the flask-shaped gonothecae. These trans- lucent, exquisitely fringed shallow bells alone survive in the winter months and suffice to establish new colonies of seden- tary habit in the sprmg. Excellent photog- raphy. The film is all too brief, though very satisfying in making real the connec- tion between the two generations. British film inst. sh-c Guide Protoplasm —the beginning of life.

The movements of tube feet and pedicellariae are beautifully shown and their functions briefly ex- plained. By a series of partial dissections in ordered sequence one gains a very good general idea of the reproductive organs ana the alimentary canal in both sexes. One watches the extrusion of innumerable minute eggs, and later dense streams of sperms which are chemically attracted by the former. Fertilisation, membrane for- mation and segmentation are most con- vincingly shown. The embryo escapes from the membrane and part of its further development is seen. Precise references to dates add much to the value of the Aim. . . Excellent photography. . . [Useful inj zoology and biology [classesj" British film inst. sh-c-Guide Simple animal forms.
