former group tliey obtained 24 species, of which 4 (includ- 

 ing Eudendrium rameiim) were new to Puffin Island. Of 

 Polyzoa 19 species and 2 varieties were found, and of 

 these 1 species {ScJiizoporella unicornis, only found 

 previously in our district at the Isle of Man) and 1 variety 

 {Pedicellina cernua, var. glabra) were new to Puffin. 



The visit of Dr. G. S. Brady and Mr. I. C. Thompson 

 to Puffin in July for the purpose of studying the Copepoda 

 resulted in the capture of 2 species of Copepods new to 

 the district, dredged from a depth of 10 fms., off the north 

 side of the island, viz., Pontella acuta, Dana, and 

 Misophria loallida, the first being new to Britain and not 

 before recorded north of the Indian Ocean. The same 

 dredging contained 2 specimens of another rare species 

 Cyclopicera lata, Brady. 



Early in August two former students of the Biological 

 department of University College, Liverpool, and gradu- 

 ates in Science of Victoria University, Miss Amy Warham 

 and Miss Lucy Buckley, went to Puffin for the purpose of 

 collecting compound Ascidians and making some observa- 

 tions upon them in the living state. I extract the follow- 

 ing from their record in the journal as a sample : — 



" Aug. 5th. Morning, collecting on shore under house. 

 After breakfast went dredging with flood tide along north 

 side of island towards Conway Bay — dredge full of 

 Ascidians, Zoophytes, Hermit-crabs and Sea-urchins. 

 Arrived back at 4 p.m. After tea, shore-collecting on spit 

 — most beautiful sunset. Examining and sorting the 

 material dredged, in evening. Station very comfortable 

 and clean." 



" Aug. 6th. Left by morning tide and intend having a 

 haul of the dredge in the straits."
