respects, as Prof. Oliver remarks,* " it is quite a Utricu- 

 laria." 



Polypompholyx multifida. The bladders are attached in 

 whorls round the summits of stiff stalks. The two antennse 

 are represented by a minute membranous fork, the basal part 

 of which forms a sort of hood over the orifice. This hood 

 expands into two wings on each side of the bladder. A third 

 wing or crest appears to be formed by the extension of the 

 dorsal surface of the petiole; but the structure of these 

 three wings could not be clearly made out, owing to the state 

 of the specimens. The inner surface of the hood is lined 

 with long simple hairs, containing aggregated matter, like 

 that within the quadrifid processes or the previously de- 

 scribed species when in contact with decayed animals. These 

 hairs appear therefore to serve as absorbents. A valve was 

 seen, but its structure could not be determined. On the col- 

 lar round the valve there are in the place of glands numer- 

 ous one-celled papillae, having very short footstalks. The 

 quadrifid processes have divergent arms of equal length. 

 Remains of entomostracan crustaceans were found within 

 the bladders. 



Polypompholyx tenella. The bladders are smaller than 

 those of the last species, but have the same general structure. 

 They were full of debris, apparently organic, but no remains 

 of articulate animals could be distinguished. 



GENLISEA. 



This remarkable genus is technically distinguished from 

 TJtricularia, as I hear from Prof. Oliver, by having a five- 

 partite caljTC. Species are found in several parts of the 

 world, and are said to be " herbae annua paludosae." 



Genlisea ornata (Brazil). This species has been de- 

 scribed and figured by Dr. Warming,' who states that it 

 bears two kinds of leaves, called by him spathulate and utricu- 

 liferous. The latter include cavities; and as these differ 

 much from the bladders of the :foregoing species, it will be 

 convenient to speak of them as utricles. The accompanying 

 figure (Fig. 29) of one of the utriculiferous leaves, about
