submitted to Mr. R. C. Punnett, of Cambridge, who con- 

 siders that the species is probably new to science. A 

 Campanularian Hydroid, which lias been lying unnamed 

 since 1S95, when Mr. Chadwiek found it, has been 

 identified by Mr. E. T. Browne as Campanidaria 

 calceolifera, Eincks. Mr. Browne writes in regard to it: 

 " 1 1 i neks has given a very good description and figures of 

 this species, and T have really nothing to add. The 

 remarkable shape of the gonothecee should at once attract

 Hatchery Committee will not be issued until July, it may 

 be well to state now (1) that the fittings and apparatus of 

 I lie hatchery are in a Avell advanced condition, and will 

 be practically complete before the end of the present year, 

 (2) that a stock of adult plaice is now being laid in to 

 BUpply spawners, and (3) that there seems every reason to 

 believe that the institution will be ready for active work 

 dnting the coming spawning season. After fishes have 

 been dealt with lobsters will be taken up, daring the 

 summer, and it is hoped that much needed assistance may 

 be given by our operations Io an important local industry. 

 In this connection it may be added thai llie undersized
