About This Book

A systematic survey of the freshwater sponges, hydroids, and freshwater polyzoa recorded in India, Ceylon, and Burma, presenting morphological descriptions, skeletal and microscopic characters, reproductive and developmental biology, habitats, and geographic distribution. The volume opens with general biological and bionomic overviews, nomenclatural guidance, and techniques for specimen preparation, then treats each group in turn with diagnostic keys, species accounts, illustrations, glossaries, and bibliographies. Comparative notes on fossil records, associated fauna, and regional affinities accompany detailed taxonomic lists and plates to support identification and field study.
