Besicles tlie typical Grateromorpha meyeri I recognize two 

 varieties or subspecies of it, viz., C. nieyeri iuhevom and C\ u}p.y- 

 eri rugo>^<i. These will find special treatment later and here T 

 restrict my account to tlie typical species. As such I consider 

 those forms of the group which are exquisitely wineglass-like or 

 tidip-like in shape and have the evenly rounded sponge-hody, — 

 forms, which have long been known from (Vbu and are also 

 found in the Bagami Sea. 



According to the accounts of the C'ebn specimens by Car- 

 ter, Gray and Schulze tlie species occurs in that locality on a 

 blue mud ground of 174 m. ( = 95 fms.) depth. It may reach 7 

 inches (say, 180 mm.) in total height ; the stalk, which may be 

 -/2 hich (say, 10 mm.) thick, 1)eing of nearly the same length as 

 the body proper. The latter has a smooth external surface ; its 

 wall is thick l)ut l)ecomes very thin at the oscular margin. 



In the Challenger Report (p. 104) it is mentioned that a 

 dried CmteroiDorpha meyerl was found among the sponges that 

 had been collected l)y DctDERLEiN at Enoshima. Probably it 

 was a representative of the typical species. To me, at any rate, 

 two specimens have thus far become known from the Sagami 

 Sea, both of which agree well in shape with tlie Philippine 

 forms. 



First may be mentioned the fine specimen preserved in forma- 

 lin, which belonged to Mr. Alan Onvston and was kindly shown 

 me by that gentleman. It came from a depth of o(>5 m. in the 

 neighborhood of Okinose. Total height, 114 mm. Stalk, 30 mm. 

 long. Greatest diameter of body, 67 mm. Osculum, 63 mm. in
