measured about 80 m.m. by 30 m.m. A few Oione intestinalis 

 were also detected, the largest measured 33 m.m. in height, 

 and the smallest 8 m.m. only. 



The common Bowerbankia imbricata abounded, the largest 

 growth observed measured 15 m.m. in length. 



The following notes refer to animals removed from the 

 exterior and interior of the lobster hatchery. 



This hatchery, after remaining on shore all the winter, was 

 moored in the tidal docks on the 12th of June : and owing to 

 circumstance over which I have no control, was removed from the 

 sea on the 25th of the following month, 1896. 



Specimens of Bugula turbinata were exceptionally numerous 

 both on the exterior and interior of the hatchery. The colonies 

 varied in height from 7-9 m.m. Obelia gelatinosa was also very 

 abundant, and varied from 20-25 mm. in height.
