"Report on the Radiolaria Collected by H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76" by Ernst Haeckel is a scientific book from the 1800s that presents a careful study of Radiolaria, which are tiny, one-celled living things gathered on the H.M.S. Challenger trip, a journey that greatly improved the understanding of ocean life. This book, a piece of a bigger set that records the scientific discoveries of the Challenger trip, has many pictures of different kinds of Radiolaria. The book starts by giving basic information about the trip, like how long it lasted and who the important people were, such as Captain George S. Nares and Sir C. Wyville Thomson and how the report is organized. Haeckel names the different groups of Radiolaria that he will talk about, sharing hints of the detailed scientific information, including body descriptions and pictures to help people understand these amazing creatures.

Summary
About the AuthorErnst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms and coined many terms in biology, including ecology, phylum, phylogeny, and Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny.
