REPORT ON THE RADIATES. 
By J. WALTER FEWKEsS. 
Srnck the last Annual Report, the collection of alcoholic Radi- 
ates has been brought together in a room in the cellar, which is 
now taken up by them and the alcoholic collection of Sponges. 
Representative genera of Corals and Sponges have been picked 
out from the general collection of dried material for future exhi- 
bition in the Faunal Rooms. These now await mounting, after 
which they can easily be put on exhibition in places already 
prepared for them. 
A collection of Coral Sands and Rocks illustrating the forma- 
tion of the West Indian and Floridan coral islands has been sent 
to the Brussels Museum. 
Several trays filled with specimens of dried Ophiurans and 
additional dried Sea Urchins, many from the deep seas, have 
been placed with the other dried Echinoderms. 
A collection of Echinoderm parasites, Myzostomide, colledted 
by the Blake and Hassler Expeditions, and described by Dr. 
L. V. Graff in Vol. XI. No. 7, of the Bulletin of the Museum, 
have been returned. 
One or two identified specimens of new Echinoderms, collected 
by the United States Fish Commission, have been added to the 
general collection.
