The Freshwater Jelly-fish of Regent's Park (Limnocodium Sowerbii) 

 magnified five times linear. 



It was discovered in the tropical lily tank of the Botanical Gardens in 

 June, 1880, and swarmed in great numbers year after year then suddenly 

 disappeared. It has since been found in similar tanks in Sheffield, Lyons, 

 and Munich. Only male specimens were discovered, and the native home 

 of the wonderful visitor is still unknown.
