 steamer Albatross in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. 

 Proc. U. S. Nat.Mus., vni, Sept. 2 and 14, 1885, pp. 397-402, pi. XX. 



"The greater part of this collection was made in the years 1884 and 1885. It contains no 

 new species, but is interesting in a study of the geographical distribution of these animals, and 

 is a supplement to a paper already prepared on the Medusae of the Gulf Stream. Many of the 

 genera and species here mentioned up to the present have not been recorded from the region 

 of the Gulf Stream, but will probably be later taken from this locality." 



Nine species are enumerated, with the localities in which they were takeu, the two follow- 

 ing being described:
