' The sjiecies which has been referred to Campanv.laria cannot be specifically distinguished from a hydroid 

 obtained last autumn by H.M.S. " Valorous " in Baffin's Bay. It belongs to a common group of campanularian forms ; 

 but yet the fact of identical forms occurring in such widely separated localities, though under conditions probably 

 very similar, is one of great interest and significance, more especially as the distribution can hardly be explained, as 

 in certain other cases, by the transporting agency of ships' bottoms. ... A form which cannot 1:^ distinguished 

 specifically from Xh\&[Campanul'aria (?) ci/ZintfnV';], has more recently been dredged by H.M.S. " Valorous " from 60 

 fathoms in Baffin's Bay.— (Allma>-, Phil. Trans., vol 168, pp. 282, 284.) 



^ This species [Hakciitm rmUihim'], like H. macrocepho.lv.m, Allman, from the western part of the Gulf Stream, 

 and H. scmk, Norman, from the Hebrides, is remarkable for the utter absence of the tubular prolongation of the 

 lateral orifice of the internode which gives support to the hydranth in most of the species of Halecium. — (Allman, 

 Phil. Trans., vol. 168, p. 283.) 



' Of the Echinodermata collected at Kerguelen by the British Transit of Venus Expedition, E. A. Smith writes :— 

 Opportunity was taken some pages back of exhibiting the relations of the Molluscan fauna of Kerguelen Island to 

 that of the Falklands and Patagonia ; and it was pointed out that representatives of boreal types entered into it.-i 

 composition. Materials for similar comparisons between the Echinodermata indigenous to the same regions scarcely 

 exist, but such as there are, make it apparent that what obtains in the Jlollusca holds good also in the Echinodermata 

 with respect to geographical distribution. ... A similarity to certain boreal terms is exhibited by some of the 

 species. Thus Porania antarctica strangely resembles P. pidviUm of the northern seas of Europe ; the Pedicdlastir 

 represents another septentrional genus; Ptera.^ter affinis imitates closely Pt. inilitaris of boreal waters. The geneni 

 Ophioybjpha and OphiacantJta are almost cosmopolitan in distribution ; yet the Kerguelen Island representative of the
