DEPARTMENT OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES. 179 



new forms of deep- sea in vertebrates were obtained iu the course of both 

 of these expeditions, and shore collecting was also carried on at Hono- 

 lulu. The investigations of the steamer Fish Hawk and the schooner 

 Grampus on tbe Atlantic coast have been limited to the shallow and 

 surface waters, and while the natural history collections obtained by 

 them are not extensive, they will eventually add some material of 

 importance to this department. 



Ten sets of duplicate marine invertebrates, belonging to series No. 

 IV, the composition of which has beeu described in previous reports, 

 have been distributed to educational institutions, as follows: Biolog- 

 ical School, Avon-by-the-sea, X. J.; Wells College, Aurora, N. V.: 

 Trinity University, Durham, N. C; Fort Worth University, Fort Worth, 

 Tex.; State Normal School, Mankato, Minn.; Iowa State Normal 

 School, Cedar Falls, Iowa; State Normal School, Whitewater. Wis.; 

 Mansfield Memorial Museum, Mansfield, Ohio; Leland Stanford Junior 

 University, Menlo Park, Cal.; Pennsylvania State Normal School, Mil- 

 lersville, Pa. 



The following special collections have also been supplied, namely: 

 To the Australian Museum, Sydney, New South Wales, 73 species of 

 echinoderms; to the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, 7."> species of 

 echinoderms and eadeuterates; to Tuiane University, New Orleans, La.,
