Eiinicea Rousseaui M. Edw. and Haime. 



Corallieres, vol. i, p. 151, 1867. Verrill, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., i, p. 36, 1864. 

 Gorgonia pseudo-antipafhes (pars) Dana, Zooph. (non Esper). 



This is also a large species with stout, forked, digitate branches, 

 nearly as in the last, but larger. The calicles are large, rounded, 

 somewhat elevated, directed obliquely upward, and with the lower 

 lip a little prolonged. 



Diameter of digitate branchlets 12 to 18™™; their length, 150 to 

 300™™ (6 to 12 inches). 



Color when dried, dark umber-brown or blackish. 



Only a few specimens were obtained. 



HYDROZOA. 



This group has been studied but little at the Bermudas. Mr. J. 

 Walter Fewkes* has published a descriptive list of 26 free Hydrozoa 

 and 4 Ctenophora observed by him during a brief visit to Bermuda. 

 Some of these were new species, but several are known from the 

 New England coast and farther south. 



Our party collected very few free forms and added to the list only 

 the common Porpita Linnceana, 



Attached hydroids are not numerous, either in species or indi- 

 viduals, only about 6 species of sertularians, 3 carapanularians, one 

 plumularian, and one tubularian having been collected by us. 



The tubularian is Pennaria tiarella^ found also on the American 

 coast northward to Cape Cod. All the sertularians appear to be 

 well known West Indian species. 



The most common sertularian appears to be Sertulariella Gayi. 

 It was taken with gonothecje. 



All the numerous specimens of Millepora seen by us could be 

 referred to the common polymorphous species, M. alcicornis, though 

 31. ramosa has been recorded from there by Quelch (Voy. Challen- 

 ger, Narrative, i, p. 146, note.
