LIST OF FAMILIES, GENERA, AND SPECIES. 



N.B. — This list is a complete catalogue of all the genera and species of SiphonophorEe hitherto described 

 with sufficient evidence (from 1775 to 1888); the doubtful or insufficiently characterised species are marked 

 by a query. Those new species, which are followed by the words " Morph. Siphon^" will be described after- 

 wards in my Morphologie der Siphonophoren.
