'TERRA NOVA" EXPEDITION. 



At Official Stations 194 and £20 (our Stations 26 and 38), off Gates Land, 

 180-200 fms., Wagnerella occurs sessile on Hydrozoa and Polyzoa. and judging from 

 the number of recognizable fragments of the tube which occur in the finest debris 

 is probably abundant at the Station. It was not observed in any other gathering. 



So far as we are competent to judge, the specimens do not differ from the 

 figures of Mereschkowsky and Zuelzer, except that in one fragment the long 

 C3'lindrical tube is densely clad over its whole length with the long spicular 

 bodies which in the published figm-es are confined to the globular head. 



The form was originally described from the White Sea, sessile on Sertulariae 

 and Polyzoa at 2-16 fms. and has since been recorded from shallow water at 

 Naples growing on stones. 



No perfect specimens were found, the preparation of the material for our 

 own purposes having been fatal to this delicate organism, but an examination of 

 tlie preserved Zoophytes would probably lead to the discovery of many individuals. 



VI -LIST OF WORKS REFERRED TO IN THE REPORT. 



The number of authorities referred to in the synonymies of the six hundred and fifty species 

 described in this Monograph is so great tliat it has been necessary to make every effort to economise 

 space. The principle, therefore, first adopted by us in the Clare Island Monograph, has been 

 followed here. 



Names of authors, titles of articles, and full bibliograjihical references to the Transactions and 

 Proceedings in which they are to be found are given in this Bibliography, some lengthy titles 

 being shortened, as follows : — 



AMNH. = Annals and Magazine of Natural History. 

 JRMS. = Journal of the Royal Microscoj)ical Society, London. 

 JQMC. = Journal of the Quekett Microscopical Club, London. 



MASIB. = Memorie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze dell' Istituto di Bologna. 

 QJGS.= Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, London. 



SAWW. = Sitzungsberichte der Kaiserliche Akademie der Wissenschaften Wien. (D = Denkscbrift.) 



The titles of papers and books are indicated by initials only, after the date of publication, 

 and the first letter of the author's name : — thus, C. 1892, PTC. = F. Chapman, " Microzoa from the 

 Phosphatic Chalk of Taplow," the page, etc., only being given, and all further details being found 

 under that initial and date in the Bibliography. In the case of long or short series of papers, the 

 date of the first is given and the initials are followed by the year in which the paper referred to 

 appeared : thus, M. 1898, etc. FM. 1900 = the papers of Millett's series beginning in 1898, which 

 were published in JRMS. in 1900. 



In some cases we have been compelled to fi.x our own dates arbitrarily — as, for instance, in 

 some of J. Wright's papers, e.g., W. 1885-6, BLP., in which the plate is lettered 1884-5. Brady, 

 when quoting d'Orbigny's Cuba Monograph of 1839, nearly always gave the page in the Spanish 

 edition of 1840. We have invariably given the pagination of the original French edition of 1839. 

 When plates have two numbers, as in some of the Memoirs of the Socicte Geologique de France, 

 both numbers are given, e.g., T. 1878, FIR. pi. i.\ (xiv). 



Again, much confusion has crept into synonymies by reason of the re-pagination of reprints, a 

 practice which reaches its worst development and results in Parker & Jones' " Nomenclature of 

 the Foraminifera " (P. & J., etc., 1859, etc., NF.) and in Schlumberger's consecutively re-paginated 

 series of Reprints. We have endeavoured in every case to give the original page of the journal in which 

 the papers were published.
