MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION ON PUFFIN ISLAND. 29 
former group they obtained 24 species, of which 4 (includ- 
ine Hudendrium ramewm) were new to Puffin Island. Of 
Polyzoa 19 species and 2 varieties were found, and of 
these 1 species (Schizoporella wucorms, only found 
previously in our district at the Isle of Man) and 1 variety 
(Pedicellina cernua, var. glabra) were new to Puffin. 
The visit of Dr. G. 8. Brady and Mr. I. C. Thompson 
to Puffin in July for the purpose of studying the Copepoda 
resulted in the capture of 2 species of Copepods new to 
the district, dredged from a depth of 10 fms., off the north 
side of the island, viz., Pontella acuta, Dana, and 
Misophria pallida, the first being new to Britain and not 
before recorded north of the Indian Ocean. The same 
dredging contained 2 specimens of another rare species 
Cyclopicera lata, Brady. 
Early in August two former students of the Biological 
department of University College, Liverpool, and gradu- 
ates in Science of Victoria University, Miss Amy Warham 
and Miss Lucy Buckley, went to Puffin for the purpose of 
collecting compound Ascidians and making some observa- 
tions upon them in the living state. I extract the follow- 
ing from their record in the journal as a sample :— 
“Aug. 5th. Morning, collecting on shore under house. 
After breakfast went dredging with flood tide along north 
side of island towards Conway Bay—dredge full of 
Ascidians, Zoophytes, Hermit-crabs and Sea-urchins. 
Arrived back at 4 p.m. After tea, shore-collecting on spit 
—most beautiful sunset. Examining and sorting the 
material dredged, in evening. Station very comfortable 
and clean.”’ 
“Aug. 6th. Left by morning tide and intend having a 
haul of the dredge in the straits,”’
