British Sea Anemones, Vols I & II (PDF) These out-of-print volumes were originally published by the Ray Society in 1928 and 1935. They are reissued here in electronic form in Adobe PDF format on CD. These volumes cover the known British species, and a number of species whose status was not known. The author explained, "The Actiniaria are a group which offer an excellent field for study in this direction. They are pre-eminently animals which cannot be understood unless every avenue of approach to the problems be explored. It is possible, for instance, to differentiate Actinian species, in certain cases, on the basis of their various modes of sexual and asexual reproduction; and as work proceeds, other such means will doubtless become apparent." The books contain over 100 text figures and 33 plates, including exquisite colour illustrations of the species. The quality of reproduction of illustrations and text is excellent. The books are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format (free Reader software supplied), for Windows PCs and Macs, with fully searchable text, hyperlinks for ease of navigation, and high-quality text and plates.
