FROM THE COAST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. 115 
DISCORBINA PARISIENSIS, d’Orbigny. Discovery Passage at station No. 7, and Queen 
Charlotte Sound at stations Nos. 14 and 17,—not uncommon. Double specimens, in 
which the bases of two shells have grown together, or specimens which have been 
double, but which have been broken apart by some cause unknown, are more 
frequent than normal and single examples. In the ninth volume of the Zoology 
of the “ Challenger” Expedition (p. 649) Mr. Brady says “it is probable that the 
phenomenon is to be accounted for in the same way in all cases, that it is brought 
about by the extension of a lobe of sarcode from the mouth of the parent test, the 
subsequent division of the nucleus, and the continued growth of the new 
individual without separation from the parent, a very similar process to that 
minutely watched by Gruber in a species of Euglypha.” 
TRUNCATALINA LOBATULA, Walker and Jacob. Abundant, living and attached to shells, 
stones, etc., at most of the stations at which the dredge was used. Dead and 
detached specimens are frequent also in sand, etc., from stations Nos. 2, 7 and 17. 
PULVINULINA KARSTENI, Reuss. Discovery Passage at station No. 7, four specimens, and 
Johnstone Strait at station No. 9, one specimen. 
Rorania Beccari, L. Discovery Passage at station No. 7, Queen Charlotte Sound at 
station No. 14 and Quatsino Sound at station No. 20,—a few examples at each. 
NONIONINA SCAPHA, Fichtel and Moll. Johnstone Strait at station No. 9, and Queen 
Charlotte Sound at station No. 17,—apparently not very common. 
POLYSTOMELLA CRISPA, L. Queen Charlotte Sound at stations Nos. 14 and 17, and 
Quatsino Sound at station No. 9,—not uncommon. 
POLYSTOMELLA STRIATOPUNCTATA, Fichtel and Moll. Johnstone Strait at station No. 9, nine 
specimens. Two specimens were also noted in sand dredged at a depth of two 
fathoms in Comox Harbour, Vancouver Island. 
HYDROZOA. 
ALLOPORA VENUSTA, Verrill. Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 15, several specimens. 
ANTHOZOA.

station No. 6, four specimens. 
BALANOPHYLLIA ELEGANS, Verrill. Strait of Georgia at station No. 5, one specimen, and 
station No. 6, two specimens. Discovery passage at station No. 7, four specimens. 
OPHIUROIDEA. 
OPHIOGLYPHA LUTKENI, Lyman. Discovery Passage at station No. 7, a few specimens, 
and Queen Charlotte Sound at station No. 17, abundant.
