Report on the Anthozoa, and on some additional Species dredged by the 
“ Blake” in 1877-1879, and by the U. S. Fish Commission Steamer 
“ Fish Hawk” in YB80-82. By A. E. VERRILL. 
In order to make the following report more complete, all the species of 
Anthozoa dredged by the U. 8. Fish Commission, during the past three 
seasons, in deep water along the Gulf Stream Slope, off the southern coast 
of New England and off Chesapeake Bay, have been combined with those 
dredged by the Blake along the whole coast, from off South Carolina 
to George’s Bank. A large proportion of the species were dredged both 
by the Blake and by the Fish Hawk, but the collections made by the 
latter are much the largest, and contain a number of species not taken 
by the Blake. Other species, poorly represented in the collections of 
the Blake, were secured in large numbers, and of various ages, by 
the Fish Hawk. Moreover, the dredgings by the Fish Hawk having 
been made under the immediate supervision of the author, they have 
afforded him opportunities to study and make descriptions of many of 
the species from living specimens. Most of the drawings of the Actini- 
ans were also made by Mr. J. H. Emerton from living specimens ob- 
tained by the Fish Hawk, and kept alive in our aquaria. For the use of 
those drawings, on this occasion, we are indebted to the kindness of 
Professor 8. F Baird, U. S. Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries. 
A few deep-water species, that have been obtained only by the Glou- 
cester fishermen on the deep fishing grounds off Nova Scotia and New- 
foundland, and by them presented to the U. S. Fish Commission, have 
also been introduced, to make the list more complete. From these
