THE 



VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER 



ZOOLOGY. 



SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT on the Alcyonaria collected by H.M.S. 

 Challenger during the Years 1873-76. By Professor Th. Studer, M.D., 

 Bern. 



PREFACE. 



After the main Report on the Challenger Alcyonaria was in the press, several further 

 specimens were found. These were in part new species, of which, however, it was no 

 longer possible to insert a description in the text. I am under great obligations to Dr. 

 John Murray, the editor of the Challenger Reports, for allowing me to publish in the form 

 of a Supplement an account of these new species with the necessary illustrations. At 

 the same time I have seized the opportuuity to insert further illustrations of such forms 

 as Dr. Wright and myself had only been able to describe in the Report, as Telesto 

 trichostemma and Siphonogorgia kollikeri. 



This Supplement extends the list of the Challenger collection by three new species of 

 the genus Siphonogorgia, three Muriceidae, an Indian representative of the genus Bebryce 

 (which before had been known only from the Mediterranean), and one of the Plexauridas.
