The new ue saa acide has been constituted, for 
species allied to this, by Professor Kélliker, (Voyage of the 
Challenger, Saaccade: p. 13, 1881) He described, from a 
single ed a species (A. Murrayt, pl. 6, figs. 19- 21) taken 
off Halifax, in 1250 fathoms, which iss maller and more slender 
than my saci with fewer polyps aod ad zooids, but it 
may possibly prove to be the young for From off Buenos 
Ayres, in 600 fathoms, he described A. Phones which is a 
large species, apparently identical, in all respects, with my 
species, from off Nova Scotia and New En olan 
We trawled this species, off Martha’s Vineyard, in 302 to 
310 fithonia Its color, in life, is usually deep salmon-brown, 
but varies to pale salmon, and even to yellowish white. The 
Gloucester fishermen re presented about forty specimens, in 
twenty lots. These are from near the Grand Bank, St. Peter's 
Bank, Western Bank, Banquereau, Sable I. Bank, and Le 
Have Bank, in 85 to 300 fathoms. Off C. Fear, S. C., 647

Two excellent specimens of this fine species were taken at 
Stations 880 and 881, in 252 and 325 fathoms. ‘Phese were 
larger and more developed than the original specimen, which 
was taken off Sable I., N. S., in 800 to 400 fathoms.
