As I'rof. I'ocy did not mention any i)aitieuliir locality in t]\v island 

 of Cuba, I suppose that most of the species are from the vicinity of 

 Havana. 



I desin' to tiMider my thanks to I'lof. Poey for the mat«'iial I hav»' 

 received from his liands, and to Dr. ,Iuan (lundlach for a specimen of a 

 Srnii;/era. 



The types of the new spe<'ies Jiave been (h'posiled in the I'. S. Na- 

 tional .Alnseum.

I have received from Prof. Pocy a dried Siphonophora^ Avlucli 1 liave 

 been unable t(> separate from either Siph. porf(>riven,si.sBriiudt, or i^iph.

Coucerninj»' the ditterences bet\ve«'n tliese two species, Karsch. under 

 his description of Slph. ciihaii<(, says: 



" .1/1 /■((■/('Mi. species cnni Siph. portoriceiisin \\v., qini lumen eapite haxi Intiore, rontro 

 viulto hreriore et pr<ve\piie hnujitiidine )inill(i iniiiore Kdtis diffirfr videhir .'" 



As such <litfereuces are i)ractical]y valueless, it is best to c()nsider 

 t^iph. portoriccHfiis and vuhntui as forming one species. 



2, Nanuolene cubeusis, .sj). nov. 



Diaffiiosis. — Kelated to XannoUnc hxrlei Uollman, but the circular de- 

 pressions along the transverse segmental sutures not extending all 

 around the segment as in hurlei, but only to tlie rc[)ugnatorial pore. 



The following ditferences are also worthy of note: 



Dark brownish-blue, posterior border of segments brown, an indis- 

 tinct row of lateral spots, antenna' and legs light-brown. Ocelli dis-
