REPORT ON THE RADIATES. 



By J. Walter Fewkes. 



During the past year the collection of corals formerly stored in 

 the attic has been placed in cases in their final storage room in the 

 new part of the Museum. The systematic collection of Alcyonoids 

 on exhibition has been mounted and rearranged. Representatives 

 of the more important genera of West Indian and South American 

 corals have been placed on exhibition in the South American 

 faunal room. 



The " Blake" Alcyonoids have been examined and sent for 

 identification to Professor Verrill, who will write the final report 

 of this group. A small number of Bermuda corals and hydroids 

 has been added to the general collection. 



The Museum published during the year the following papers, 

 which I had prepared for the Bulletin : " Explorations of the Sur- 

 face Fauna of the Gulf Stream, under the auspices of the United 

 States Coast Survey. By A. Agassiz. I. Notes on Acalephs from 

 the Tortugas, with a Description of New Genera and Species." 7 

 plates. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Vol. IX., No. 7; and "On the 

 Acalephae of the East Coast of New England." 1 pi. Ibid. Vol. 

 IX., No. 7. In addition, I have written for the American Nat- 

 uralist (Feb. 1882) a paper entitled " The Siphonophores. IV. 

 Anatomy and Development of Diphyes," and for the American 

 Journal (Feb. 1882) " A Cercaria with Caudal Setse."
