BERMUDA BIOLOGICAL STATIOX. 



57: 



Through the generosity of Captain William E. Meyer, of St. 

 George's, a three-days' trip to the Challenger Bank was arranged for 

 all the members of the station who desired to go. Captain Meyer 

 put at our disposal his seagoing steam tug, the Gladisfen, and her 

 crew. Many hauls of the dredge were made and rare corals, Crus- 

 tacea and other invertebrates secured. The edge of the bank is 

 an ideal fisherman's ground, abounding in redsnappers (Neomceius 

 aya) and amber-fish (Seriola dumereilii). As might be expected, 

 sharks, too, are found there in abundance.

Some of the investigations undertaken by us have already been 

 published as/ Contributions ' from the station; others are in press or 

 in course of preparation. Mr. Leon J. Cole's paper on the Pycno- 

 gonida (Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., Vol. 31) contains an illustrated 

 description and critical discussion of three species, one of which 

 is new. Mr. Addison Gulick has described (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Phila., Vol. 56) some twenty-five species of fossil shells — seven of 

 which are new — from a number of localities, and has pointed out 

 their relationships to shells of Eastern North America and the West
