Notice of a supposed new marine animal from Washington Territory, north-

[The supposed new animal was represented by "several specimens whicb at first sight 

 appt-ared to resemble long thin pe<dod white willow-wand more than anything else." Mr. 

 Sclatir, in the first instance, " was inclined to regard them as possibly bones of one of the 

 gigantic rays," and afterwards (wben he had been told what they were !) "as the hardened 

 notochordof a low organized flsh." They were, in truth, the tixial skeletons of Pennatnlid 

 Boophytes! ! !
