Clafhrina latitubidatd (|)i-ovi,sional, iiicertie sedis), Carter. 

 Annals and Magazine of Natural History, June 188G, p. 515. 



After describing the external form and spicnlation of this 

 lemarkalile sponge, Mr. Carter remarks that in general form 

 it is very nuich like Vo]eyAeii''i<. IIefero2'egnta itodtts gordii, 

 l)ut totally different amitomieally. I have fortunately been 

 able, owing to the kindness of the authorities of the British 

 Museum, to make a minute anatomical examination both of 

 Polejaeff's type of Hcte ropegina 'nodii^i gordii, and also of 

 Carter's type of Cldthriiui liitituhvlata, and I have also 

 received the latter species direct from Mr. Wilson. I find 

 that in external forn), canal-system, and also in the ari-ange- 

 ment of the skeleton, the two species are identical, agreeing 

 with the admii-able figures given by Polejaeff'in his Challenger 

 Rc[>oit. The only difference which I have been able to 

 detect concerns the size and shape of the minute quadriradiate 

 spicules of the chamber layer, which are even further reduced 

 in //. liditnhuhda than thev are in li. nodus gordii.
