Short characterization of the stations 



comp. Table I. 



St. 21. 6 — 10 m. (meters). Soft bottom with Laminaria. Some 

 colonies of Lafoëa friiticosa and a large (8 cm.) colony of Endendriiim 

 raineum, compose the principal contents of the material from this 

 station. 



St. 36. 10 — 15 m. Hard and soft bottom with Laminaria and 

 Delesseria. A piece of Laminaria densely overgrown with Campan- 

 ularia intégra. 



St. 63. 20—40 m. Hard bottom with shells and red algae. A 

 very rich station characterized especially by Lafoëa frnticosa and 

 Eadendrinm rameum, both of which occur in w^ell-growai colonies 

 with gonosomes. Halecium mnricatum is also abundant. Of creeping 

 species the most numerous are: Campaniilaria intégra, Calycella syringa, 

 Cuspidella procnmbens and Lafoëa serpens, the tw^ first-mentioned 

 most frequently on Delesseria, the two last most frequently on the 

 colonies of hydroids. 



St. 64 rt. Ga. 100 m. Rocky bottom. A colonj^ of Cellepora in- 

 crassata Lamarck, overgrown inter alia with Lafoëa serpens, whose 

 hydrothecae are here extremely long and narrow. 



• St. 66. 30 — 40 m. Stones and shells with Delesseria. The leaves 

 of Delesseria are overgrown with masses of Camp, intégra and Caly- 

 cella syringa and a few specimens of Coryne eximia. 



St. 68a. 40 — 60 m. Stones and shells with hydroids and a few red 

 algae. A verj' rich station, containing a number of large colonies 

 of Halecium mnricatum, very often overgrown with Cuspidella pro- 

 cnmbens and Lafoëa serpens. Strange to say, Calycella syringa is not 

 found at this station, as I cannot be sure about a small, broken-olT 

 piece (3 hj'drothecae), w4iich may have been put in by mistake. 

 Campannlaria intégra and Endendrium rameum are rare. 



St. 6.9. 20 — 30 m. Stones and shells with Delesseria. The leaves 

 of Delesseria are overgrown with a great many Calycella syringa, fre- 

 quently also with Camp, intégra and Cuspidella procnmbens.
