MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 43 



west coast of Scotland. Some sections which I have 

 made recently of these specimens show that the colonies 

 were then (August) probably ready for reproduction, as 

 the polypes contain mature ova. This is probably the 

 Sarcodictyon agglomeratum of Forbes and Goodsir ; a note 

 on the subject will shortly be laid before the Biological 

 Society. 



Amongst Worms new to the record are the Turbellaria 

 Fecampia (the pear-shaped white cocoons of this form are 

 not uncommon on stones in pools at Port Erin), and 

 Stylocoplana maculata (identified by Mr. Gamble), and 

 the annelid Amblyosyllis (Gattiola) spectabilis (Johnston) 

 collected at Port Erin by Mr. Beaumont.
