II. — Bnjozoa fruni Chatham Island and d'UrvU/e Island, 

 New Zealand, collected by Prufessur H. Schavinsland. By 

 AKniiK ^^'.M. Waters, F.L.S. 



[Plate I.] 



This collection made by Professor Schauinsland is only 

 small, but now that mucli attention is being paid to Antarctic 

 and Subantarctic biological distribution it is interesting to 

 have our knowledge somewhat extended to tlie east. 



A species considered new and called Lepralia clivosa has 

 furnished some interesting points in regard to its growth, 

 and there is a Plumatella closely allied to common European 

 species, in which, however, the statoblasts are larger than 

 any previously recorded.

This is in most particulars very similar to ^. anguina, L., 

 but \^liether it is called a species or form is a matter of no 

 importance. 



The upper part of the oral tube of tiiis and other species 

 has beeu incorrectly described as punctate or punctulate, 

 whereas the dotted structure is caused by small protuber- 

 ances, as can be well seen at the border, and also where the
