Comparison of these figures with those given by Herdman (1898) 

 for this species shows that in number of tentacles and vessels on the 

 folds the present specimens are somewhat higher than those exam- 

 ined by Herdman from Puget Sound. I can not, however, regard 

 the deviation from the type as anything more than a variation that 

 would be without specific significance were a sufficiently long series 

 of individuals to be examined. 



ATbatross 3088, off Oregon coast, lat. 44° 28' N.; long. 125° 25' 30" 

 W., 46 fathoms, c. p., September 3, 1889, 12 specimens. 



On rocks, between tides, Puget Sound, July, 1889, O. B. Johnson, 

 collector; 4 specimens. 



Albatross 2945, "off southern California," lat. 34° N.; long. 119° 

 29' 30" W., 30 fathoms, p., February 6, 1889, 1 specimen. 



STYELA YAKUT ATENSIS Ritter. 



Styela yakutatensis Ritter, 1901, p. 241, pi. 27, figs. 22, 23. 

 Tethyum yakutatense Hartmeyer, 1909a, p. 1360. 

 Katatropa yakutatensis Huntsman, 1911, p. 129. 



This species was founded for a lot of pedunculated Styelas collected 

 in Yakutat Bay, Alaska, the peduncle of which was, however, much 

 shorter, relatively, that that of S. montereyensis (Dall) and S. greeleyi 

 Ritter. Since the peduncle of the single specimen now before me is 

 even shorter proportionally than the average for the Yakutat animals, 

 and since it comes from the same geographical region, I do not hesitate 

 to assign it to the same specific group. The body of the individual is 

 13 mm. long, and the peduncle is 7 mm., while the average for the 

 Yakutat specimens measured was 18.11 mm. for the body and 10.1 

 for the peduncle. Furthermore, the transition from body to peduncle 

 is even more abrupt here than is usual in the Yakutat specimens. 



Albatross 2877, lat. 48° 33' N.; long. 124° 53', 59 fathoms, bk. s. 

 and m. (Strait of Juan de Fuca), September 25, 1888. 



STYELA ?, sp. 



A single individual of some member of the Styelidae found adhering 

 to the stalk of Boltenia ovifera taken at Albatross 3303 deserves men- 

 tion even though its exact identification is impossible. A curious 

 thing about the specimen is that in spite of the fact that it is in a good 

 state of preservation, and seems to be fully grown, not a trace of
