Anthozoa. 



The additions to this oroup are very few, but those from 

 Suez, purchased from Dr. Bannwarth, are remarkable for their 

 state of preservation, which is far better than that of most 

 Anthozoa. Among them may be mentioned Alveopora 

 dcedalea, Sclero2)hyllia imargariticola, Xenia umhellata, and 

 Paractis erythrosoma. 



PORIFERA. 



The following specimens may be specially mentioned : — 

 Ten specimens of fresh-water Sponges from the River Volga ; 

 presented hy Dr. A. Behning, Director of the Biological Station _

Six specimens of fresh-water Sponges, including three

 described by the donor ; collected and presented by Dr. N.
