Smitiia porifera (Smitt). 
Osbum, 1912, p. 245. 
Taken with some frequency at Crab Ledge, in 17 
fathoms, and at Great Round Shoal fishing 
ground, on shells and on the stems of hydroids 
and Boltenia. 
Porella propinqua (Smitt). 
Osburn, 1912, p. 248. 
Crab Ledge, and off Sankaty Head, not uncom- 
mon on shells and hydroid stems. 
Porella acu tiros iris Smitt . 
Osbum, 1912, p. 248. 
Taken by the Survey on various occasions at 
Crab Ledge and at Great Round Shoal fishing 
ground, incrusting shells and pebbles; com- 
mon. 
Porella concinna (Busk). 
Osburn, 1912, p. 247. 
Crab Ledge, incrusting stones and shells, 14 to 
20 fathoms; not common. 
Porella proboscidea Hincks. j, 
Osbum, 1912, p. 249. 
Taken in abundance at Crab Ledge, Great Round 
Shoal, and off Sankaty Head ESE., in 23 
fathoms; also at Nantucket Shoals. 
Rhamphostomella bilaminata (Hincks). 
? Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 714, 419 ( Cellepora 
scabra a ); Osburn, 1912, p. 244. 
Vineyard Sound and Quicks Hole.? — Verrill. 
Taken by the Survey at several points in Vine- 
yard Sound and Buzzards Bay; common at 
Crab Ledge, in 14 to 21 fathoms, on hydroid 
stems; Great Round Shoal fishing ground, in 
8 fathoms. 
Fish Hawk stations: 7743, 7745; Phalarope 
station 1. 
Rhamphostomella costata Lorenz. 
Osbum, 1912, p. 244. 
Thus far only recorded from two outlying points, 
Crab Ledge (common) and Great Round Shoal 
(scarce), in company with the preceding 
species. 
Rhamphostomella ovata (Smitt). 
Osbum, 1912, p. 245. 1 
Vineyard Sound, 1875, one well-developed col- 
ony on shell of Modiolus modiolus; Crab Ledge, 
August 12, 1909, a few small colonies. 
Family Flustrellid^. 
Fluslrella hispida (Fabricius). 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 708, 312, etc. ( Alcy - 
onidium hispidum ); Davenport, 1891, p. 49; 
Osbum, 1912, p. 250. 
Woods Hole Harbor, on Ascophyllum beds, abun- 
dant; Tarpaulin Cove; Cedar Tree Neck; Rob- 
insons Hole. Locally very abundant, incrust- 
ing Fucus and Ascophyllum, at low water 
mark; less commonly found upon rocks, or 
other objects; not recorded, however, from 
dredging stations. 
Family Alcyonidiid/E. 
Alcyonidium verrilli Osburn. 
Verrill, 1872, p. 289 ( Alcyonidium ramosum)', 
Verrill and Smith, 1873, p. 708, 404, etc. 
( Alcyonidium ramosum ); Osburn, 1912, p. 252 
(110m. nov.). 
Eastward to Vineyard Sound, “often very abun- 
dant, attached to rocks in shallow water. ’ ’ — Ver- 
rill. This species is rare in the waters dredged 
by the survey, having been taken in only one 
locality, Phalarope station 37, at Sow and Pigs 
Reef, where two small specimens were found. 
°The Cellepora scabra of Smitt has been separated into several species, of which two are herewith recorded. While it is 
impossible to identify VerriU’s record with certainty, it seems probable that he referred to the present species, rather than 
to the following, which is less common and has not been taken in the inner waters of the Sound.
