venture to offer an opinion with any approach to certainty. The Dianea cerebriformis of 
plate x is possibly a Cyanea. The Hudore are evidently mutilated disks.

Dr. Baird, in an interesting paper “On the Luminousness of the Sea,” figures a small 
Medusa (Geryonia ?) from the Straits of Banca: the figure and notes are insufficient. 
‘Magazine of Natural History,’ vol. iv, p. 285. 
In a note on the “ Luminosity of the Sea,” by Mr. Samuel Woodward, a very minute 
Medusa of this order is figured from specimens taken between Lowestoft and Yarmouth. 
The figure represents either a young Sarsia or the medusoid of Tubularia.

The Medusz are described in the fourth volume of the text, and figured in plate xxv. They 
are Carybdea bicolor, possibly an imperfect animal, but well figured ; Carybdea bitentaculata, 
and a covered-eyed species, Orythia incolor. Of the two former, the first was found near 
the Cape de Verde, the second, in the roads of Amboyna.

The account of the pulmograda in this useful manual is a very full and excellent compilation 
of the knowledge up to the time, and among the plates are many useful figures copied 
from other works. De Blainville combines the genera Aguorea, Mesonema, Polywxenia, 
Aigina, and Cunina in one genus, Mquorea. He refers Melicerta penicellata of 
Eschscholtz to the genus Aglawra of Peron. Under Geryonia he unites Saphenia, 
Geryonia, and Dianea proper ; regarding Dianea endractensis as the type of that genus.
