“[following a description of a paper by A.W. Clayden - see Lucerna 7000964]

Mr J. Stephens [sic] followed with a graphic description of the life-history of one of the most beautiful of the Rotifera or wheel animalcules (Stephanoceros eichhornii). Illustrating his remarks by a series of lantern slides, Mr Stevens briefly described the structure of [the female and male of the species]. Living specimens of the female from the Exeter Canal were shown under microscopes, and added greatly to the interest of the paper.”
