Akaroa Harbour, 3 fms; mud. 15/XII. 1914. 1 specimen. 
I have nothing to .add to the careful descriptions given by 
Dendy, Perrier and Dendy & Hindle, would only emphasize 
my perfect agreement with Dendy & Hindle in regarding Per¬ 
ri e r’s Phyllophorus anatinus as a synonym only of Ph. longidentis. 
Among some various material from Akaroa Harbour, received 
from Mr. Suter in 1899, is also a very young specimen of this 
species, ca. 10 mm long. It is strongly curved and has very much 
the shape of an Echinocucumis, the more so as the tubefeet are 
very indistinct (perhaps on account of the rather poor preservation). 
There is, however, no doubt that it belongs to Ph. longidentis. It is 
noteworthy that its spicules are almost exclusively of the beautiful 
cruciform type figured by Dendy (1896; PI. 6, figs. 64 and 67), 
while those of the larger specimen taken by the author in 1914, 
are much more irregular in shape, hardly a single regularly cruci¬ 
form spicule being met with. (This specimen was found adhering 
to the anchor of the ship. There was, unfortunately, no opportunity 
of making any dredgings here).
