L. torressii, n. sp. Order. ANTHOZOA HYDROIDA. Suborder. SERTULARINA. Fam. 1. SERTULARIADAE. Gen. 1. Sertularia, Linnaeus. 1. Cells alternate (Sertularia). a. Cells distichous. 1. S. elongata, Lamouroux. Habitat: Swan Island, Banks Strait, thrown on the beach. Port Dalrymple, on stones at low water. (Also New Zealand.) 2. S. divaricata, n. sp. Cells urceolate-subtubular, or very little contracted towards the mouth, often adnate to the rachis nearly their whole length; mouth looking upwards, with three large acute teeth, two lateral, and one rather longer than the others, and slightly recurved, above. Ovicells ---- ? Habitat: Bass Strait, 45 fathoms, dead shells. Colour dirty yellowish white; polypidom branched, from a common stem; branches irregular (?) straggling, pinnate and bipinnate, pinnae and pinnules divaricate at rightangles, alternate; rachis flexuose, or with an angle at the origin of each pinna. The cells are placed at wide distances apart; small and adnate very nearly to the top. The mouth circular, with three large teeth, the one above frequently obscured by adventitious substances, very acute, ascending, and a little recurved. Sertul. gayi. (Lamouroux. Exp. page 12 plate 66 figure 89 has four teeth.) This species occurs also on the south coast of Patagonia, and the Straits of Magellan; in the latter locality, however, the habit is much more robust. 3. S. crisioides, Lamouroux. (Dynamena.) Cells adnate, conical, slightly curved, truncate at bottom, narrow at top; mouth vertical, external. Habitat: Off Cumberland Islands, 27 fathoms. Very like a Thuiaria, but the cells are not immersed, though very closely adnate, and the outer angle of the square base of each cell is in contact with the upper and back part of the one below it, so that a small triangular space or opening is left below each cell. The branches are v
