24 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



REPORT ON THE COELENTERATES. 



By Henry B. Bigelow. 



The most important accessions to the collection received during 

 the year are a series of the fresh-water Medusa Craspedacusta 

 sowerbii Lankester, from Benson Creek, Kentucky, the gift of 

 Dr. Harrison Garman; a series of ctenophores and hydroids from 

 the coasts of New England, from the late Rev. H. W. Winkley; 

 ctenophores from Massachusetts Bay from Dr. Thomas Barbour; 

 a series of Renilla, from Beaufort, N. C, from Dr. G. H. Parker; 

 of siphonophores and Medusae from Bermuda, from Dr. W. J. 

 Crozier; and a considerable series of hydroids, Medusae, and 

 ctenophores from the coast of Louisiana, presented by Mr. Percy 

 Viasco. 



My Museum work consists of the preparation of the report on 

 the Grampus cruise of 1916, and of an account of the Medusae 

 collected by the Canadian Arctic Expedition of 1913-1915, of 

 which the Museum is to receive a representation.
