animal in the tank capable of doing this, I did not disturb 
it, and found, on the following morning, that it had been 
disturbed and re-buried. The next morning nothing 
remained but the chele and walking legs. The lobster 
has now established itself in a particular crevice in the 
rock-work, to which all food given to it is carried. 
‘“‘In February I was fortunate enough to see a large 
number of ova extruded by a specimen of Nereis pelagica. 
I kept the worm in a small dish, and one day noticed that 
the parapodia on the left side of the ninth and tenth 
segments had become much swollen. On the next day 
the swelling had increased, and while watching the move-

swollen region, probably from the nephridiopores of the 
affected segments. I then fixed and preserved the worm, 
and it has since been photographed by Mr. E. Schuster, 
of New College, Oxford. 
“In regard to Faunistic work, I have availed myself of _ 
every opportunity afforded by low tides to collect on the 
shores of Port Hrin and the neighbouring bays, and 
thirteen dredging excursions have been undertaken in 
small boats. ‘The courses dredged over, and the animals 
collected, were carefully recorded. ‘The harbour buoy was 
brought ashore for its annual cleaning on August 11th this 
year, and again yielded over thirty species. Amongst 
them was an abnormal specimen of the Nudibranch, Hols 
glottensis (2), in which the foot is divided into two quite 
distinct portions of exactly similar shape, one in front of 
the other. Amongst the additions to our lists are the 
Hydroid Campanulina repens, and the Nudibranch Her- 
mea dendritica, both discovered in ‘ Pat’s Dub’ by Miss 
Sollas.
