Mr. R. Kirkpatrick of the British Museum has recently sent me а 
small collection of Phylactolaematous Polyzoa and has asked me to sub- 
mit а report upon them to Dr. Behning of the Volga Bfologicai Station. 
I am ignorant of the circumstances of their capture, but Mr. Kirkpatrick 
informs me that, with the exception of а single specimen from the Ural 
river near Orenburg, they are from the Jeruslan river, а tributary of the 
R. Volga. 
The specimens reached Calcutta in good condition, but several of 
the tubes that had been packed in one bottle were unfortunately broken 
in transit and the labels on them set free. The following is а list of the 
species:— 
From the Ural river: 
Plumatella fungosa (Pallas) „Altwasser“ of the Ural near Orenburg. 
1. VII. 13. 
From the Jeruslan river:-” 
Fredericella sultana (Blmbh.) race jordanica, Annandale. Soljanaja 
Kuba. 9. IX. 13. 
Plumatella fungosa (Pallas.) Jeruslan near Laptewy (12. IX. 13.) 
and Potemkino (13. IX. 13.) 
Plumatella casmiana, Oka. Jeruslan (13. IX. 13), Soljanaja Kuba 
(9. IX. 13) and Talowka (13. IX. 13). 
Plumatella punctata, Hancock. Idem. 
Plumatella Ccespitosa, Kraepelin. Soljanaja Kuba. 9. IX. 13, 
Plumatella auricomis, Annandale. As PI. casmiana. 
All the species represented fall, therefore, into the group Plumatel- 
lina and all but one into the family Plumatellidae and sub-family Pluma- 
tellinae. The only species that does not belong to this family represents 
the allied family Fredericellidae.
