Extract

This collection was sent to me for examination some months ago by Mr Murray. It may be conveniently divided into two very natural groups:—

1. Ascidiacea, including the forms dredged or trawled from the bottom of the sea.

2. Thaliacea, including the free-swimming pelagic forms captured by the tow-net at or below the surface.

page 101 note ‡ As will be pointed out in the following description, there are a number of details, especially in the branchial sac, in which these “ Triton ” specimens differ from the accounts of Doliolum denticulatum given by Keferstein and Ehlers (Zoologische Beiträge, 1861) and by Grobben (Arbeiten aus dem Zoolog. Instit. der Univ. Wien, 1882). As, however, they agree with those authors' descriptions in the more important anatomical features, and as they could not be referred to any other known species, I prefer to consider them as a variety of Doliolum denticulatum. It is improbable that they are an undescribed species, since they are apparently so common in the North Atlantic. Doliolum denticulatum is probably rather a variable form.
