THE INVERTEBRATE FAUNA 



We found a few specimens some years ago 

 near Joppa. 



The gonozooid of this species was known 

 for about twenty years before Wright 

 traced the development of the fixed poly- 

 pites, which he described under the name 

 of Clavula gossii (Ed. New Phil. Jour., 

 July 1859). 



HYDRACTINIIDjE. 



Hydractinia echinata (Fleming). 



Firth of Forth (T. S. W.) ; common on 

 univalves (M'B.} ; off the Bass Rock 

 (F. E. S.). 



This is a common species, and we have 

 often dredged shells encrusted with it off 

 Inchkeith, on the oyster bank, and in 

 other parts of the Firth. Specimens may 

 frequently be found on the shore after 

 storms. F. E. Schulze* mentions having 

 found this species on the beach between 

 Portobello and Fisherrow. 



PODOCORYNIDuE. 



Podocoryne carnea (Sars). 



Inch Garvie (G. J. A.). 

 Clionistes reticulata (T. S. Wright).
