The species appears to be L. nitschei, Vigelius., described and 

 figured in Xiederl. Arch. F. Zool. supp. Band I. — Catalogue of the 

 Polyzoa collected during the Dutch north-polar cruises of the 

 " Willem Barents." Vigelius. This description is very inadequate, 

 being founded or. badly preserved material, which probably 

 accounts for the fact that the length of the individuals is given 

 as only 0T5 mm., which is less than half that of the present living 

 specimens. 



The locality for Vigelius' specimens is unknown, probably 

 Barents' Sea, and the habitat Menipea ternata.
