dans le détroit de Gibralter,’ 
In this valuable paper a number of radiate animals, chiefly pelagic, are described, and among 
them several naked-eyed Medusee, ‘The species are all figured, though mostly with few 
or no anatomical details. 
. Dianea rotunda, p. 181, pl. vi, A, figs. 1 and 2. 
Judging from the view given of the peduncle, this appears to be a true Oceania, with a globular 
umbrella and eight marginal tentacula. 
. Dianea conica, p. 182, pl. 6, A, figs. 3 and 4, 
The form of the body indicates a Circe, but the appearance of the peduncle is nearer that of 
Oceania, and the remark of the describers, that it approaches the Medusa (Oceania) pileata 
of Forskal, would confirm such a view. The umbrella is mitrate, and acute above. The margin 
appears to have twenty tentacula, with red ocelli. The peduncle is reddish. 
. Dianea exigua, p. 183, pl. vi, A, figs. 5 and 6. 
A small Geryonia, with very small cordate ovaries, and four marginal tentacula. 
. Dianea exigua, Var., p. 183, pl. vi, A, figs. 7 and 8. 
Exactly like the last, but wanting the ovaries. Is this a male animal, or is it a Tima? It is 
the Liriopa cerasiformis of Lesson (Acal. p. 332), who strangely associates it with Dianea 
proboscidalis, in his genus Liriopa. 
. Dianea bitentaculata, p. 184, pl. 6, A, fig. 9. 
A minute Geryonia or Tima, haying two long tentacles and twelve short ones. This is the 
Saphenia bitentaculata of Lesson. 
Dianea funeraria, p. 184, pl. vi, A, figs. 10-15. 
This appears to belong to a genus closely allied to Circe, and is certainly a member of the family 
Circeade. It is the Tholus funerarius of Lesson. 
. Aiquorea capillata, p. 185, pl. vi, B, fig. 1. 
Too imperfectly described and figured to be assigned to any well-defined genus with certainty. 
. Phorcynia pileata, p. 186, pl. vi, C, fig. 1. 
A mutilated or badly-observed species, of what genus? It is the type of Lesson’s genus 
Pileola. 
1828. Dr. Fleming. ‘ History of British Animals.’ 
Under the genus Geryonia are enumerated “ G. equorea,” “ G. hemispherica” (Thaumantias 
to} y q 2 7): 2 
and “ G, octona” (Oceania). The last previously described by Dr. Fleming, in the eighth 
volume of the ‘ Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. 
1829. EF. Eschscholtz. ‘System der Acalephen.’ 4to, Berlin. 
A standard work upon this class, founded on extensive personal research. I have already 
commented on the errors of the classification. The illustrative figures are in outline, 
but strikingly faithful, so far as they go. The naked-eyed species represented are Melicertum 
penicillatum ; Hurybia exigua; Tima flavilabris ; Cyteis tetrastyla ; Cunina campanulata 
and globosa; Aiquorea ciliata; Polyxenia cyanostylis; Afquorea globosa (a Stomo- 
brachium ?); Afgina rosea, and citrea ; Mesonema abbreviata ; Geryonia bicolor and rosacea. 
The descriptions are in German, each prefaced by a Latin diagnosis, too slight in most 
instances to serve the purpose of identification. No student of the Medusz should be 
without this book. 
1830. Lesson. ‘ Zoology of the Voyage of the Coquille’ (under Duperrey). 
Most of the figures of Medusve in this work represent covered-eyed species. In plate xiv of 
the Zoophytes, a few naked-eyed species are represented, but though ‘the plates are 
beautifully engraved and coloured, the original drawings must have been sadly defective, 
judging from the Cyanea Bougainvillii (Bougainvillea Macloviana), the first that attracts 
our notice, every organ of which is misunderstood, and wrongly delineated. Fig. 4 of 
the same plate represents a Twrris, under the name of A2guorea mitra ; the peduncle and 
ovaries strangely misunderstood. Fig. 1. Bursarius Cythere may be a naked-eyed form, 
but after the manner in which the two previously-cited species are represented, I cannot
