Calycella. It has in our specimens from rock pools at Port 
Erin, obtained on Sept. 25th., a distinct operculum, and 
the name of the species must consequently become Caly- 
cella pygmea. In these same pools the following other 
Zoophytes have been found lately :—Clava multicorms, 
Coryne van-benedent, Campanularia fragilis,* Opercul- — 
arella lacerata, Sertularva operculata, Plumularva sumilis ; 
and 9 species of Polyzoa. 
On November 13th., a dredging off Bradda Head yielded 
11 species of Zoophytes, and 7 species of Polyzoa, none 
very specially rare. It ought, perhaps, to be stated that 
all these lists of collections of Zoophytes and Polyzoa 
from various localities now being determined by Miss 
Thornely, are kept for record in the MS. tables of geo- 
eraphical distribution within our district, which will be 
published in some future report, when they seem suffi- 
ciently complete. A number of Zoophytes, Polyzoa, and 
other invertebrata have been sent to the Laboratory lately 
by Captain Eccles and the other bailiffs im connection with 
the investigations now going on into the food, &c., of 
fishes. One such gathering dredged from near Hastham, 
in October, contained 21 species of Zoophytes and 11 of 
Polyzoa. One of the Zoophytes was Bougawwillea ram- 
osa, which had not previously been reported from our 
district. Another gathering, from the Rock Channel, con- 
tained 18 species of Zoophytes and 15 of Polyzoa. A third 
set, trawled in Morecambe Bay, consisted of 9 species of 
Zoophytes and 3 of Polyzoa, amongst which were Huden- 
drium annulatum, and Bowerbankia caudata. 
BRITISH ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE. 
At the British Association meeting in Edinburgh, early 
in August, a committee was formed, with a small grant, for 
the purpose of exploring further the southern part of the
