NO. 2185. A NEW OOBY FROM NORTH CAROLINA— RADCLIPFE. 425 



Springs) on the west coast of Florida. These specimens were taken 

 from a large sponge similar in form to those from the North Carolina 

 coast. The sponge was dredged by the Fisli Hawk in 8^ fathoms on 

 rough bottom. 



This species is named spongicola in allusion to its habit of Hving 

 in the cavities of sponges. 



As the genus Garmannia has been characterized by species having 

 the anterior haK of the body naked, posterior hah coverd with mod- 

 erate or small scales, its characters should be extended to cover the 

 present species, m which the scahng is reduced to a small area on the 

 lower side and ventral surface of the caudal peduncle.
