an eye. To make up this deficiency it is supplied 
with the most delicate beautifully developed claws it 
is possible to conceive. Near the West Indies, in a 
depth of only half a mile, some similar creatures 
were brought up, having claws longer than the body 
armed throughout with a multitude of spike-like 
teeth. At a short distance from Teneriffe, in a depth 
of a mile and a half, a rich and extremely interesting 
haul of sponges and coral was obtained, but the latter 
was unfortunately dead. It is a white species, as 
large and heavy as the pink coral of the Mediter¬ 
ranean. 
A NEW POTATO DISEASE. 
Professor ITallier, in the Zeitsclirift fur Paru- 
sitenkunde for 1873 (vol. iv. heft 1), describes a new 
potato disease as having made its appearance at 
Apokla, near Jena, in the course of last autumn, the 
preceding summer having been remarkably dry in 
that locality. The disease differs from the one which 
has been so fatal during recent years, in attacking at 
once the tuber and not the leaves. The tuber in the 
diseased plants is found to be covered beneath the 
skin by a purple felt, composed of the mycelium of a 
fungus, which, on close microscopical examination, 
is found to perforate the skin, on the surface of which 
are a number of black spots having the appearance 
of the perithecia of a pyrenomycetous fungus. Soon 
after these spots make their appearance the potato 
becomes completely destroyed by a cancerous dis¬ 
ease, the disease being always accompanied by the 
production of the fungus, which probably belongs to 
the genus Sclerotiiun. Professor Hallier thinks that 
the same remedies or preventatives may be applied 
as in the case of the more prevalent disease, the se¬ 
lection of early varieties and of suitable soils, and 
the use of mineral to the exclusion of animal or 
vegetable manures. The geological formation at 
Apolda is the keuper. 
Just as we are going to press, to our great regret 
we hear of the death of another of the Founders of the 
Pharmaceutical Society, Mr. John Garle, who has 
so long been associated with its Board of Examiners. 
We are requested to state that the name of Mr. 
Henry Whitfield, of Worcester, should not have 
been included in the list of names of gentlemen who, 
having been nominated for election to the Council 
of the Pharmaceutical Society in May next, have 
expressed their willingness to serve if elected. Mr. 
Whitfield has declined to accept office, if elected. 
We are informed that the old and well-known 
establishment of Butler, McCulloch, and Co., 
Co vent Garden Market, has lately changed hands, 
and is now conducted (in partnership) by Messrs. 
Frederick McCulloch, A. Macdonald, and Syd¬ 
ney G. Hart.
