Ponds and slow rivers hide colonies stranger than anything on land. Nelson Annandale catalogs the freshwater sponges, hydroids, and polyzoans of Ceylon and Burma, opening with the Spongillidae and their quiet architecture. A systematic naturalist's survey of overlooked freshwater life, thorough and precisely described. For the curious mind that wonders what lives unseen below the surface.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
