(From Gesiier's copy oi' Eondelet's figure of Uva marina, op. cit. infra, is one of the earliest known Tunicates. Rondelet first described and figured it in 1555, in his ' Universse Aquatilium Historic ' (vol. ii, p. 130). His figure has been copied by Gesner (' Hist. Anim.' 1558, p. 1248) ; Aldrovandi ('De reliq. Anim. exsang.' 1606, p. 592); and Jonston ('Hist, nat, Exsang. aqnat.' 1650, pi. xx). Gesner's figure, being the clearest, has been photographed for reproduction here (fig. 117). Copies of other early figures are also given : after Ellis (1757), Borlase (1758), and Gaertner (1774). The earliest discovery of the species in British seas was published as " An Account of a curious, fleshy, coral-like Substance ; in a letter to Mr. Peter Collinson, from Dr. John Albert Schlosser, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Alder, Joshua, 1792-1867; Hancock, Albany, 1806-1873; Hopkinson, John, 1844-1919; Norman, Alfred Merle, 1831-1918; Embleton, Dennis, 1810-1900.
