brown with white tips and have distinct transverse zones of dark 

 brown near the base and a Uttle below the tip and sometimes a 

 similar but fainter and less defined zone in the middle. 



The specimens of the other species of Zoanthella and of the 

 species of Zoanthina, of which I obtained a fair number last 

 February, have also gone through their metamorphosis and have 

 become fixed and sprouted tentacles. 



As the preparation of my paper on these larvae and their 

 adults will, I fear, take some time, it v/as thought desirable to 

 publish this very brief preliminary note at once. Quite recently, 

 I came across a reference to the rearing of Zoanthella by Gary in 

 191 1. Till then I was not aware that anybody else had attemp- 

 ted the rearing of these larvae. As far as I am able to gather 

 from Gary's Report, however, (vide Carnegie Institution of Wash- 

 ington Year Book, No. 10) no stage with tentacles was obtained 

 by him. 



Fig. r represents the Zoanthella larva which metamorphosed 

 last year. Fig. 2 shows a tentacled stage with 42 tentacles as seen 

 from the oral side, fully expanded. Fig. 3 represents another 

 specimen fairly expanded, seen from the side. Fig. 4 shows 

 another specimen just opening out. Fig. 5 shows the same speci- 

 men with the tentacles retracted and the peristome closed.

EGHINODERMA. 



Ghange of name in an Indian Genus of Echinoidea. — 

 [The following is a translation of a note that appeared in the 

 Zoologischer Anzeiger XLIV, No. 4, p. 191 (April, 1914)]. 



In a memoir which has ju-st appeared (Echinoderma of the 

 Indian Museum, part viii, Echinoidea [I], Galcutta, March, 1914) 

 I have given the name Eurypnenstes to a new genus of Spatangidae. 

 This name, having already been applied to a fossil form, cannot be 

 maintained : I propose to give the name Elipneustes to the new 

 genus.
