Obelia longissima (Pallas). — (p. 39). A few specimens from 

 Departure bay, some from Dodds narrows in poor condition 

 and some from the material from Banks island. 



Obelia plicata Hincks. — (p. 39). Not common, but a few 

 good specimens were obtained by dredging near the rocky ledge 

 in the bay. 



Calycella pygm^ea Alder. — (p. 41). Common in Departure 

 bay and Dodds narrows. 



Calycella syringa (Linnaeus). — (p. 42). Plentiful in the 

 material from Banks and Queen Charlotte islands. 



In my former paper I discussed these two species at some 

 length. Since that paper was written I have had the oppor- 

 tunity of studying material from many localities along the 

 Atlantic coast only to find that the same differences exist there 

 as here. The difference in size seems to be rather definite, but 

 it seems strange when so many specimens of the smaller form 

 have been found that the gonosome has never appeared, while 

 it is commonly found with the larger form. Until a gonosome 

 is found with the smaller or until its life history is further worked 

 out than it is at present, it is impossible to say whether or not 

 it is a distinct species. For the present, on account of the 

 difference in size, it seems better to retain the two specific names. 



Cuspidella humilis (Alder). — (p. 44). Common on Lafcea- 

 gracillima dredged outside of the main entrance to Departure 

 bay, 25 fathoms. 



Lovenella producta (Sars). — (p. 44). Few specimens 

 growing on serpulid tubes in material dredged in Dodds nar- 

 rows. 



Halecium annulatum Torrey. — (p. 46.) Growing on algae 

 at Port Renfrew and Dodds narrows and on stalked ascidians 

 at Ucluelet. 



Halecium densum Calkins. — (p. 47). Excellent specimens 

 of this species were obtained from Port Renfrew at low tide, 

 and from Ucluelet at a depth of 30 fathoms. 



Halecium halecinum (Linnaeus). — (p. 47). A single colony 

 dredged in 10 fathoms at Ucluelet. 



Halecium washingtoni Nutting. — (p. 50). A few speci- 

 mens were dredged at Dodds narrows.
