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

 west America. [By P. L. Sclater.] < Nature, v. i, p. 436, Sept. 26, 1872. 



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

 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 fish." They were, in truth, the axial skeletons of Pennatnlid 

 zoophytes! !!
