being new to the district. On a single Pecten valve 
thirteen species existed, among them being Hippothoa 
distans, Stomatopora incrassata, Membranipora dumerili, 
M. craticula, and Schizoporella unicorns. A Buccinum — 
shell also was found encrusted with ten species. 
The Biological Station at Puffin Island has afforded a 
large amount of good material, and the results obtained 
after examining the same are embodied in a “‘ Report on 
the Polyzoa of Puffin Island,’’* read before the Biological 
Society in November, 1887. Altogether fifty-one species 
are recorded from the island, and five species and three 
varieties are given which have not been found in any other 
part of the L.M.B.C. district. 
In addition to the above localities, shore collecting in all 
parts has been conducted, but little has resulted from this 
source. This leads one to the conclusion that future 
successes are to be looked for when examining the deeper 
parts of the area during our dredging expeditions.
