number of specimens have been collected during the last 
three years, I am only able now to add four species to the 
record. Of these, however, two are of great interest :— 
the one is a Molgula new to science, obtained during the 
“Weathercock’’ expedition of 1886; while the second, 
Molgula citrina, is a species which was described in 1848 
by Alder and Hancock, and has not since been heard of. 
I have found it on the shore at Puffin Island, and at two 
or three other localities.

Bay have yielded a good deal of the material from which 
the following notes were drawn up, and the shores of 
Puffin Island have proved to be very rich in Compound 
Ascidians, upon some of which I have commenced inves-

report. 
The following twenty species of Ascidians have been
