THE FAMILY OF THE DESMACIDINAE. 10/ 



Loc. Near Cape St. Vincent in 374 fathoms.

Spic. tr. ac. („bent portion has a tendency to a spiral 



twist.") 

 C/D(?) 

 Loc. „Probably from the Tropics." 



In describing this species , Carter places a note of inter- 

 rogation after „bihamate spicules." And therefore, it being 

 as yet uncertain if bihamates really do occur , I am not 

 sure that the Sponge is a Desmacidine. In the explana- 

 tion of the plates there is a mistake. Instead of Micr. 

 pusilla we find Microciona minutula.
