Notice of a supposed new marine animal from Washington Territory, north- 

 west America. [By P. L. Sclater.] < Nature, v. i, p. 436, Sept. 25, 1872. 

 [The supposed new animal was represented by "several specimens which at first sight 

 appeared to resemble long thin peeled white willow-wand more than anything else." Mr. 

 Sclater, in the first instance, " was inclined to regard them as possibly bones of one of the 

 gigantic rays," and afterwards (when he had been told what they were !) "as the hardened 

 notochord of a low organized flsh." They were, in truth, the axial skeletons of Pennatulid 

 zoophytes ! ! !
