described Greenlandic Aurelia, .in regard to the canal system and 
the form of the margin of the disc; but in the Pacific specimens 
the "velarium, margin, and lappets are heavily pigmented”, while 
in the specimens from Greenland no pigment is observed; the 
yellow colour of the living animal has wholly disappeared; moreover 
the mouth-arms of one of the Pacific specimens are said to be, 
Sslightly longer than the bell radius”, while in the Greenlandic 
specimens they do not reach the margin of the disc. I can scarcely 
believe, that the Aurelia from Greenland belongs to Zimbata Brandt 
(see above, p. 282); whether it is identical with the Aurelia, 
described hy Bigelow as A. Zimbata, I do not know.
