THE INVERTEBRATE FAUNA 
We found a few specimens some years ago 
near Joppa. 
The gonozooid of this species was known 
for about twenty years before Wright 
traced the development of the fixed poly- 
pites, which he described under the name 
of Clavula gossu (Ed. New Phil. Jour., 
July 1859). 
HYDRACTINIIDA. 
Hydractinia echinata (Fleming). 
Firth of Forth (7. S. W.); common on 
univalves (MB); off the Bass Rock 
(fF. £. &.). 
This is a common species, and we have 
often dredged shells encrusted with it off 
Inchkeith, on the oyster bank, and in 
other parts of the Firth. Specimens may 
frequently be found on the shore after 
storms. F. E. Schulze* mentions having 
found this species on the beach between 
Portobello and Fisherrow. 
PODOCORYNID. 
Podocoryne carnea (Sars). 
Inch Garvie (G4. J. A.). 
Clionistes reticulata (T. S. Wright). 
Granton (7. S. W.). 
CorYNIDA. 
Coryne pusilla (Gaertn.). 
Firth of Forth (‘B.). 
Syncoryne exvmia (Allman). 
S. sarsiv (Lovén.). 
Firth of Forth (@. J. A.). 
Firth of Forth (7. S. W.).
