EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5 from The Oceanic Hydrozoa, published in 1859, features an intricately detailed illustration of Amphioxa, an Anatomy of Calycophoridae, by the renowned Victorian scientist Thomas Henry Huxley. Huxley, a leading figure in the scientific community during the 19th century, was a key contributor to the understanding of invertebrates, including cnidarians, or coelenterates, of which jellyfish are a part. This illustration showcases the complex anatomy of a Calycophorid, a type of hydrozoan jellyfish. The image reveals the various structures of the jellyfish's body, including its bell, oral arms, and tentacles, which are used for capturing prey and propulsion. The delicate and precise depiction of the Calycophorid's anatomy reflects the meticulous attention to detail that characterized scientific illustration during the Victorian era. Huxley's groundbreaking work on hydrozoans, as well as his advocacy for the importance of observational evidence in scientific research, significantly advanced the field of marine biology. This illustration invites us to explore the fascinating world of jellyfish and the intricacies of their anatomy, offering a glimpse into the scientific discoveries of the past.
