Mr. H. J. Carter on Beep-sea 



it than that it was about the size of that above mentioned, but 

 had no heard^ and an ?<ntufted even surface witliout any trace 

 of barbed spicules, but with the usual triradiates and the large 

 acerates above mentioned, which, when entire, must have 

 given it somewhat of the character of Ute capillosa, Sdt. 

 (Spongienf. Adriat. 1862, Taf. 1. fig. 6). 



Since the above was written and illustrated, I have seen 

 Franz Eilhard Schulze's paper on the structure and develop- 

 ment of Sycandra raphanus, Hackel (Zeitschrift f. wissensch. 

 Zoologie, XXV. Bd., 3. Supp., Dec. 1875), in which four figures 

 are given like the spined spicules above mentioned in the 

 Budleigh-Salterton specimens commonly called " Orantia 

 ciliata^^ (Taf. xix. fig. 1, a-af), also said to be "rare" and 

 occurring in the tufts at " the distal ends of the radiating 

 tubes." 



Addendum. 



Having made a Table of all the sponges dredged up on 

 board H.M.S. ^ Porcupine ' in 1869-70 that were handed over 

 to me, with the stations and depths respectively from which 

 they had been obtained, I have been able to draw up the fol- 

 lowing summary so far as the information accompanying them 

 permits, viz.* : — 



1st. In the Deep Sea between the North of Scotland, the Orhneys, 

 the Shetland and the Faroe Islands.

* As these sponges are arranged consecutively in accordance with my 

 classification, as far as is at present possible, no notice is to be taken of 

 the same name being repeated here and there, as this refers to the 

 author' appellation, and not to the location of the sponge in my Classifi- 

 cation.
