It is recorded on the eastern const of .North America from Massachusetts Hay <o ( ireenhind, 

 and also from Norway. 



I'ulliis (loc. <-it.) records it fiom the Kurilc Islands, but the specimens of LophotkvHtlfatl

4. ? SALPA HERCULEA Dall. 



As we approached the Aleutian Islands in August, 1881, we observed many enormous solitary 

 r, 4 or 5 inches iti length, 

 .fudging by their size and the red color of the viscera, they probably belong to the species 

 provisionally described by Mr. Dall as above. 



LAIIVACEA. 



5. APPENDICULARIA up. 



I'roiii August 8 to 15, 1883, the water swarmed with myriads of a large Appendicularia floating 

 backwards and forwards with the tide. The animals were extricating themselves from their 

 "houses" and swimming free. The discarded "houses" continued to drift about for days, and 

 wen: washed up on the beach in windrows. 



POLYZOA. 



The study of the Polyzoa brought home by the expedition has been attended with great diffi- 

 culty on account of the absence of identified material in the National Museum for comparison. 



I have been able to make out three species, which were preserved in alcohol. They are as 

 follows :
