[EXPLANATORY NOTE BY \V. KVAVS. In tlie summer of 1907, shortly before his 

 departure for tin- Antarctic, Mr .1. \\IES MURRAY examined, for micro-organisms, a 

 small tuft of moss brought from Gough Island, in the South Atlantic Ocean, by 

 the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition of 1902-4. Not having time to examine 

 the material exhaustively, Mr MURRAY passed on the residue (contained in one 

 small bottle) to Dr E. PENARD for more thorough examination. Mr MURRAY'S 

 report was communicated to this Society in November 1907, and published in the 

 Proceedings early in the following year (vol. xvii. p. 127). In April 1908, Dr 

 PENARD sent to Dr BRUCE the following account of the species he had found in 

 the material received from Mr MURRAY.] 



LIST OF EHIZOPODA, ETC., FOUND IN MOSS-RESIDUE FROM GOUGH ISLAND. 

 The following is a list of the Rhizopods I found in the material received from 

 Mr MURRAY : 



Arcclla '//*<.; /</*>. Ehrbg. One specimen, very small. 

 Pannii/iiin bnid'i, spec, nova (see p. 245). About ten specimens. 

 Difflugia constricta, Ehrbg. One specimen. 

 A'"//////'/"' <>/"</<>, Ehrbg. Rare. 



,, <-niii],,;'xs<(. Carter. Rare. 



/,-rris, Perty. I refer to this species, though doubtfully ; moderately 

 numerous, vcrv small and very broad specimens with fine and distinct 

 alveoli. 



x//v,/"-V^, Leidv. Rare. 



Heliopera j'/ri<-vla, Leidy. Large, clear, very light pink colour; very likely 

 this is the species found by MTRRAY, but it diti'ers from var. 

 amethystea, Penard, which is still larger. 



Nebela caudata, Leidy. One specimen only. 



collaris, Leidy. Rather abundant ; ' in several forms (as a rule small). 



Phryganella hemisphaerica, 1'enard. Hare. 



Sphenodermfissirostris, I'enard. -Not very rare.
