XI.—The Corals of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition.

Extract

The collection of Scotia corals is naturally small, since the main work of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition was in high Southern latitudes, but, during the outward and homeward journeys of the Scotia, collections were made, when opportunity presented itself.

The species are interesting distributionally, but their soft parts are largely decayed. There are five species, of which one is a known species; three dead masses, generically determinable; and the last, a new species, which may in future prove of even greater interest than at the present time.
