152 P- L- Kramp 



In our collection is a specimen (No. 112 in the list) labelled by Haeckel Pandea 

 saltatoria, 14° N. 25° W., west of the Cape Verde Islands, collected by Hygom in 1858. 

 It belongs to Pandea conica Lesson. The number of exumbral nematocyst tracks 

 corresponds to the number of tentacles. 



Conis cyclophthalma Haeckel. 

 1879, p. 55, PI. IV, fig. 1. 

 [Oceania armata KoUiker.] 

 (1 14) 36° 29' N. 2° 28' W., Mediterranean, near Gibraltar; Branner. (Haeckel 

 as the result of misprints gives the longitude as 2° 23' W. and the name of 

 the collector as Bramer.) 

 This is the type specimen of C cyclophthalma, and we are fortunate to have it in 

 the collection. Mayer (1910, p. 130) retains the species within the genus Conis 

 beside C. mitrata Brandt. Hartlaub (1913, p. 342) has examined the type-specimen, 

 and I can confirm his statement that it belongs to Oceania armata Kolliker. Thus 

 Conis cyclophthalma is an obsolete name. 



Oceania sp. 

 Haeckel (1879, p. 56) declares that the generic name Oceania is obsolete, but in the 

 list some medusae are mentioned as Oceania sp. ? One of them, 28-33° N. 60-64° W., 

 Hedemann, 1867, has disappeared, the others are in the collection and may be 

 identified as follows: 



(88) 21° S. 57° E., east of Madagascar; Andrea, 1864, 2 specimens, 5 mm in 



height, with 8 tentacles ; they belong to Neoturris papua (Lesson). 

 (126) 49° N. 7° W., off the mouth of the EngHsh Channel; Hygom, 1857. 1 

 specimen, belonging to Leuckartiara nobilis Hartlaub. 



Tiara pileata. 

 1879, p. 58. 

 (Ill) 36° 17' N. 3° 27' W. Mediterranean near Gibraltar; Branner, 1869. 

 4 specimens, labelled by Haeckel: Tiara pileata = Oceania (coccinea). 

 They belong to Pandea conica Lesson. 



Tiara conifer a Haeckel. 

 1879, p. 59. 

 (142 and 143) Greenland; Olrik. 2 specimens. 

 Haeckel's description is entirely based on these specimens; they belong to 

 Catablema vesicarium (A. Agassiz) as already presumed by Hartlaub (1913, p. 315). 



Tiara reticulata Haeckel. 

 1879, p. 60, PI. Ill, fig. 11. 

 [Pandea conica Lesson.] 

 (104) 35° 31' S. 0° 51' W. Atlantic Ocean near Tristan da Cunha; Andrea, 

 1862. 2 specimens. 

 These are the only specimens known, and they belong to Pandea conica Lesson, as 

 already stated by Hartlaub (1913, p. 340).
