A NATURALIST AT TENBTT . Tenby : ' a'Sea-side Soliday . ; ^^ By P . H . Gosse . , Van Voorst 1 p ybu are to spend , your holiday at Tehtiy by all , means put Mr . Gosse a volume in ' your portmanteau ; and if any other spot on our coast attracts yijtt , jyrr . Gosse may stiU " be your companion . Not that he is a particularly gbbd describer of places , or that he tells you much about Tenby which your own observation would miss : but he is an enthusiastic naturalist , and is admirable in his accounts of animals . His books , which are popular and deserve to 1 > e so , aflprd good iUustrations of the old but much neglected truth in literature , that a man writes well about the things in which he is really intbrested arid which he really knows . Set Mr . Gosse among the figsures arid boulders of the Devonshire coast , or in the noble caverns of St . Catherines Kbck , and he will dis ; course with , ah enthusiasm and a vividness truly delightful : the naturalist lfi < 5 n is uppermost ; and Mr . Gosse is only a Tto'tiifflliflf- ' WhPlh ; ori-the contrarv . he tries to be facetious , philosophical ,
theolpgical , or pictorial , His failures are remarkable . There is in lenbu somewhat less of that illiplaced and everywhere nauseous compound of bad sermons aria poor poetry which disfigures the Rambles on . the Devonshire Coast /¦ but there is more obvious bOokmaldng , and for booklnaking he has neither style nOr art . We fidtice thete deft < jts in hia 'pleasant volume , be ' catfse he shbiild be Warned against stich facile but profitless wrfting m future . Let him continue to obierve and recbird h | s p bserviations , and leave "Kterary efforts * to triore' accomplished wrTtgrs . : ! His pen : aM't » encil serve him admirably When ' ' has / only anitnals 4 ; b rlelineate ; b ^ t wlien he tries to make incidents onf of the most brdinar ' y occurrences , and wnen he drags in Exeter Hall reflections , he wearies the reader . Besides the animals well known to Naturalists , Mr . Gosse describes some less known , and records ' some' facts of- interest ^ about them . For example , it was lonffia dispute whetiier Sponges were animal or vegetable jiMiu ,
Bowerbank ! sodi £ coTery of « Uia . in theuiifctta sponge : known as i Grant ** Gompressa settled thequestion in most minds in favour of the animal nature of sponges . Yet the presence of cilia , although . important * was not rigorously conclusive , since many © f ! the flowerlesa plants ^ have cilia , and all thezoospores of ^ plants h ^ ve them ^ i Hence * her 4 'ist great vahieiuv the- fact , recorded . by Mr . Gosse . IJ ^ o acariat sponge r \ sb . icommon ; in . theTthdrd cavernu of St . Catherine ' s , at Tenby , is . aeen to pout : from \ ta little eminences , a transparent membrane , ia the iorakjO /< a hladdor . ( These bladders attracted Mr-Gosse ' s attention , and he touched ojae with the point of a needle ; "it at once shrank up into a wrinkled column , hut did not retract and . presently distended again . ' ' .. Hero wethave thd twooharacteuistioa of ^ nimalliib- ^ contractility and spontaneous movement . / The animal nature x > £ jthe » pongB ia : thereby oatabliahed , unless
we class the sponge . with , the sensitive . plants . > ' , ;> n -. ,, Of 4 iom ? se the reader . knows the jelly-fi » h , or ^ sea , blubber , " so often «» 8 t upon the sands , especially 'after a gale . ^ Medusa is the scientific name ,, and beautiful is the [ illustration given by Mr . Gbpae of the RMzotfotn * which he captured . He observes that small fishea , are so used , to resort to tho chambera underneath the diaky that , children , when they . find these Medusa ) floafcingi ; turn thein over to eeekf f 6 r . * tho , / fiqhii . " lit has been supposed , that the fisJ » e » Voluntarily resort to these- chambers . for shelter :,, but sholtcr from what P : owe naturall y ) asks . It is quitd possible i that they . may bo attracted into . tbea * by aome motive ortother ; but I apprehend that the ulterior object of tho ordinance : is . not the benefit r of I the < iah ,. but that of the .-Medusa .

They are oTJU : ion chanxbera . Secondly , the observation pf fian and Modusto eatublishea . tts i ^ fuot ^ that thoaoohfunberfl are sought by fish asahelter from their enemies . Mr . Gosse has himself candidly , reproduced the excellent observations of Mr . Beach , . wh 6 saw very amall fiahes playing round the Medusa ) , andj-wlicn alarmed or attnekod , rushing under the umbrella and among tho tentacula of the Medusa , where they remained until danger . had paused , and then emerged again 1 to sport and play round their sheltering friend .
