Notes and Memoranda. 



Diporula verrucosa, C. Peach, ofif Plymouth. 



The type, and hitherto only recorded British specimen (Hinck's British 

 Polyzoa, p. 220, PL XXXII. Figs. 1, 2), was procured by Peach in 

 Lantivet Bay, When at the Biological Laboratory in 1889, I found a 

 second example among material brought in by the dredger from deep 

 water. The specimen is finer than the type, measuring 1'4 inches high 

 and 1*3 inches wide. The proportionately great width is caused by 

 a very obtuse angle of the first division of the stem ; subsequently the 

 branches are again dichotomously divided, and at their tips are 

 the beginning of new divisions. A. M. Nokman. 



Hancockia eudactylota, Gosse. 



In writing of the genus Hancockia in this Journal (vol. vii.. No. 3, 

 June, 1906, pp. 353-6), I have inadvertently followed foreign 

 zoologists in calling the species described by Gosse, H. dadylota. The 

 name given by Gosse was, however, H. eudactylota (see Ann. and Mag. 

 of Nat. Hist., XX., 1887, p. 316). C. Eliot.
