The manuscript of the above paper was received by Prof, de Lacaze-Duthiers in 

 the beginning of August, 1887. Since that time I have had an opportunity of 

 becoming acquainted with two memoirs by Dr Ostroumoff on the Polyzoa of the 

 Gulf of Sebastopol. I regret that it was not possible for me, during the correction 

 of my proofs, to take into consideration the results arrived at by this observer.
