Amaroucium sp. 
A species which Dr. Ritter believes to be unde- 
scribed was dredged at Crab Ledge (Fish Hawk 
stations 7605, 7606, 7608, and 7609) in 16 to 25 
fathoms. 
Family Dolioeida;. 
Doliolum sp.

1898b. 
Vineyard Sound. — A. Agassiz, cited by Verrill. 
Often taken near Gay Head. — Bumpus. 
Family SalpidaJ. 
Salpa democratica-mucronata Forskal. 
Gould, 1870, p. 6 ( Salpa caboti)] Verrill and 
Smith, 1873, p. 706,445, etc. ( Salpa caboii). 
Quite common in Vineyard Sound and Buzzards 
Bay. — Gould. “Found in wonderful abun- 
dance on September 8, off Gay Head and 
throughout the outer parts of Vineyard Sound, 
and on several other occasions were nearly as 
Salpa democratica-mucronata — Continued. 
abundant. ” — Verrill. The latter author speaks 
of these animals (locality not stated) as “at 
times completely filling the water for miles in 
every direction, from the surface to the depth 
of several fathoms, and ... so crowded that 
a bucket of water dipped up at random will 
often contain several quarts of Salpce.” 
Verrill mentions a variety cyanea, taken in 
“Vineyard Sound, especially off Gay Head, 
in September. ” 
Salpa zonaria-cordif ormis (Pallas). 
A specimen, thus identified by Prof. Ritter, was 
taken in the dredge (probably near surface) 
off Gay Head at Fish Hawk station 7718. 
Other specimens taken at the surface in the 
vicinity of Woods Hole (date unrecorded) 
have likewise been referred to this species by 
Prof. Ritter. Salpce of this or some other spe- 
cies are occasionally brought into the labora- 
tory in considerable numbers. 
Family Appendiculariid^E. 
Appendicularia sp. sp. 
Verrill and Smith (1873, p. 707, 446, etc.) list two 
undetermined species, “a” and “b”; and 
Bumpus (1898b) reports the occurrence of a 
species of this genus which was “abundant 
near Gay Head, on July 28.”
