DOUBTFUL GENERA AND SPECIES. 133 



REMARKS ON DOUBTFUL GENERA AND SPECIES OF CALYCOPIIORIDJS 



AND PHYSOPHORIDyn. 



Besides those which have heen incidentally referred to in the text, the following genera 

 and species of Ccclycophorida; and Pliysoplionda appear to me not to be sufficiently well 

 estabhshed, or to be otherwise open to criticism. 



Genus AciES. 



A. palpebrans. Lesson. 'Voyage de la Coquille/ Zoologie, ii, 2, J830. 



Lesson himself seems to regard this as a mere sub-genus of Porpita. No figure is given, 

 and the description is wholly insufficient. 



Genus Angela. 



A. cytherea, Lesson. 'Acalephes,' 1843, p. 496, pi. ix, fig. 1 . 



All the author of this genus really knows of it is, he says, derived from a drawing, 

 "communique par M. Rang sans nom et sans renseignements." Under such circumstances, 

 it is hardly worth while quoting his definition. 



Genus Anthophysa. 



A. rosea, Brandt, ' Prodromus/ cited in Lesson's 'Acalephes,' appears to be an Alhorybia. 



Genus Apolemiopsis. 



A. dubia, Brandt. ' Prodromus.' 



" Canalis reproductorius filiformis, tenuis, elongatus, cui vesiculae parvae, biseriatse, porro 

 tentacula simpliciii vcrrucis parvis quadriseriatis obsessa : nee non tubuU nutritorii adnexi et ut 

 e figura apparet, partes cartilagineae fere seniilunares adhaerent."
