Large numbers of this Ctenophore may be seen floating in the water on 

 almost any calm day throughout the summer at the Tortugas, Florida. It is 

 also common among the Florida Reefs, and probably extends as fiir up the 

 coast as Charleston, South Carolina.

Numerous fragments of a Hormiphora, that maybe specifically identical with 

 the common H. plumosa of the Mediterranean, were found during the summer 

 of 1898 at the Tortugas, Florida. 



Unfortunately no perfect specimens were captured, and we must remain in 

 doubt concerning the specific identity of this animal with H. plumosa.
