latter are four naked-eyed species, viz. M. proboscidalis (i. e. Dianea proboscidalis) 
M. mollicina (Genus?), M. pileata (Oceania pileata), M. equorea (i. e. Alquorea 
Forskalina). His descriptions and drawings are very characteristic. The latter were 
published in a separate volume, of ‘ Icones.’

Hight species are enumerated under the genus Medusa in this work. One of them is the 
Medusa palliata of Bohadsch, which is an Actinea, being the Adamsia maculata of British 
naturalists. Three appear to be naked-eyed Medusee, viz. M. hemispherica, M. bimorpha, 
and M. diyitale. The first is the Thaumantias hemispherica ; the second and third were 
communicated to Miiller by Otho Fabricius, the latter bemg our Turris digitalis.

This work contains several figures of Medusze. Plate ii, figs. 1 and 2, are very bad figures 
of Saphenia dinema: six vessels are represented instead of four. Plate xii, figs. 1 and 2, 
is the Thaumantias cymbaloidea of authors, and in all probability a bad representation of 
T. hemispherica. Plate xii, fig. 13, is either Turris neglecta, or an allied species. Plate 
xiv, fig. 1, appears to be an Oceania. The two latter are the Oceania tetranema, and 
O. sanguinolenta of Peron and Leseuer.

Of the Medusze described in this excellent work, M. digitale is our Turris digitalis ; 
M. bimorpha and M. campanula appear also to have been naked-eyed species, though the 
latter may possibly have been a young Cyanea.

Royal Swedish Academy,’ vol. ix. 
The Medusa here described is probably a naked-eyed species, though I confess I do not 
clearly understand the figure (not badly executed) given. It is the Linuche unguiculata 
of Eschscholtz. Actinea pusilla appears to be a floating animal of its tribe, and possibly 
a species of Arachnactis. Eschscholtz and Lesson make a Medusa of it under the name 
of Melicertum pusillum.

The Medusze are contained in vol. i, part 6 of this compilation. Such naked-eyed species 
as are given (viz. Medusa marsupialis, M. hemispherica, M. dimorpha, M. campanula, 
M. digitale, M. proboscidalis, M. mollicina (?) and M. pileata), are taken from Plancus, 
Miiller, Otho Fabricius, and Forskal.

A good figure of Thaumantias hemispherica is contained in this excellent and most useful 
work.

A synopsis of the Meduse known up to that time, and a very valuable one for its date. 
The naked-eyed species described by Forskal, Otho Fabricius, &c., are enumerated and 
characterised with great acuteness. 
The collection of figures of Medusx in the six plates (pl. xc-xev) devoted to Acalephe, in the 
‘Encyclopédie Méthodique,’ contains several naked-eyed species. 
Plate xcii, figs. 9 and 10, are copied from Slabber, and represent a Twrris and an Oceania ; 
fig. 11 is Oceania pileata, copied from Forskal; figs. 12-15 are copies of Slabber’s figure 
of Obelia spherulina, and figs. 7-8 of his Medusa perla, both, however, evidently, as we 
have seen, the figs. of higher Medus. In plate xciii, we have fig. 1 representing Dianea 
proboscidalis, copied from Forskal; figs. 2-4 is Thaumantias cymbaloidea, from Slabber ; and
