Extract

In this communication the author called attention to the fact of his having discovered, in April last, in the Clyde, near Rothesay, numerous specimens of an Appendicularia, invested with the remarkable appendage, named “Haus” by Mertens, who originally described it in specimens captured in the North Pacific, near Behring's Straits, but which no one since his time had seen, though Appendicularia had become a subject of careful and elaborate investigation in the hands of several of the leading zoologists of the present day.
