Tubularia parasitica Hargitt. u 



Hargitt 1902 a, p. 550 (sp. nov.). 



Found (parasitic?) upon the base of Corymorpha 

 pendula, dredged in Muskeget Channel, Au- 

 gust, 1900.

 iSgSb; Nutting, 1901, p. 340; Hargitt, 19013, 



P-3I5- 

 Described by Dr. Murbach from specimens taken 



in the Eel Pond, during the summer of 1895, 

 and since then found on a number of occa- 

 sions in the same locality. This is a free 

 living, solitary form, capable of temporary at- 

 tachment to eelgrass, etc. Only a hydroid 

 generation occurs, which becomes sexually 

 mature in August.

" Buzzards Bay during September. " A. Agassiz. 

 F. R. Lillie (Marine Biological Laboratory 

 card catalogue) records having taken this spe- 

 cies August 8 and 9, 1893. Reported by Har- 

 gitt (1902) as fairly common locally, though 

 this statement is later corrected, the earlier 

 opinion having been based upon immature 

 specimens of E. mira. Dr. Hargitt now states 

 that he has never known such a species to be 

 taken in local waters, and believes it to be 

 "probably at most but a regional variety of 

 E. mira."
