288 DREDGING REPORT, 1862. 
Report on the Zoophytes. By Mr. Joshua Alder. 
Some good Zoophytes were obtained during both cruises, but 
nothing that had not been previously recorded in my ‘Catalogue © 
of the Zoophytes of Northumberland and Durham,” published in ~ 
the Transactions of the Tyneside Club. Among the Hydrozca, 
the most note-wortay is Sertularia fusca, a species peculiar to 
the north-east coast of England and to Scotland. A few specimens 
of this species were obtained. Sertwlaria pinaster was also met 
with, and S. tamarisca with female capsules. Few Actinozoa were 
met with. The best were Stomphia Churchie of Gosse, and a 
Phellia, not ascertained, but probably the P. gausapata, Gosse, 
only before found at Wick. 
Among the Polyzoa, Menipea ternata, Bugula Murrayana, 
and Cellularia Peachit, northern deep-water species, rare on 
other parts of the English coast, were procured in consider- 
able abundance. Of B. fastigiata another northern form, only 
two or three specimens were obtained. 
The number of species got in the different classes was :—
