The little browii Hydra I have found is of quite a difPerent colour and size from the 

 Shag Valley specimens. 



It is not improbable that this little brown species is the common H. ftisca of Britain ; 

 but, unfortunately, it is catalogued as H. viridis by Farqiihar,* who appears to have 

 misread Coughtrey ; and this name is repeated in the Index Faunae N.Z., but so far 

 as I am aware the green Hydra has not been recorded in this country.
