Wrighlella, s]x 



I have identified several fragments as belonging to this 

 genus, the more detailed characters do not agree with other 

 species of Wrightella which I have examined. I have made a 

 number of preparations from these fragments, but in view of 

 the incompleteness, prefer for the present neither to give a de- 

 scription nor to append a specific name.

Melitodid Fragments. 



A few small fragments of a species of Melitodid which are 

 not sufficiently complete for purposes of identification.

 miles. Depth, go fathoms. Taken by dredge. Nature of bot- 

 tom, broken shells. Date, Feb. 28th, igoi. 



From this locality there are nine small fragments of one 

 of the MelitodidiEc, but the pieces are so^ small that any attempt 

 at identification would only be like a shot in the darkness. 



Pieter Faure, No. 852^. About 25 miles E. of East Lon- 

 don. Depth, 22 fathoms. By shrimp trawl. Nature of bottom, 

 mud. Date, Jan. nth, i8gg. From this locality there is a 

 small fragment of a Melitodid, somewhat similar in superficial 

 appearance to the last so far as the fragments allow one to 

 judge, but it remains impossible to accurately identify the 

 species.

The specimen is unfortunately broken, and the base is 

 absent. The mode of branching m the lower part differs from 

 that higher up, namely, m the former it is not in one plane, 

 but in the latter this is approximately the case From a node 

 some little distance from the base three branches originate, equi- 

 distant from one another, which diverge outwards, forming as 

 it were an inverted tripod, and from the first node of each of 

 these, three secondary branches arise. In a few cases four
