T H E BRITISH TUNICATA AN UNFINISHED MONOGRAPH BY THE LATE JOSHUA ALDER AND THE LATE ALBANY HANCOCK, F.L.S. EDITED BY JOHN HOPKINSON, F.L.S., F.G.S., F.Z.S., Secretary of the Ray /8'uttW// VOLUME II f (Ascidise Composites) LONDON PKIXTED FOR THE KAY SOCIETY 1912 PRINTED BY ADLAKD AND SON LONDON AND DORKING PREFACE. VKKY little need be said by \vay of preface to the present volume, for the history of the work by Canon Norman in the first volume forms a most appropriate preface to the whole monograph. There he relates how Joshua Alder prepared for the British Museum a 'Catalogue of British Tuni- eata'; how when the publication of such Catalogues was for want of funds discontinued, Alder sought the aid of his friend Albany Hancock in working out the f/ anatomy and physiology of the Class with a view to rendering the work suitable for publication by the Bay Society ; how, after its acceptance by the Society, the death of Alder in 18(57 and of Hancock in 1873 put a stop to its completion ; and finally how the MS. and drawings were entrusted to Prof. Huxley who undertook their preparation for publication, but after an interval of four years returned them as he found that he could not spare time to prepare them for the press. Canon Norman then relates how on his suggestion the work was again offered to the Kay Society. The MS, (a transcript of the original which had been lost), and the drawings, were placed in my hands early in January, 1904, and at a meeting of the Council in the same month the work was for the second time accepted for publication by the Society. The first volume was issued in April. 1905, the second in January, 1907, and by the publication of the present volume it is completed. It is not however a complete work, being as stated on the title-page "an unfinished monograph," and this in a double sense, for the authors had not VI I'UKI'ACK. completed the description of all the species even in the first genus, AxriiUti; there being blanks in the MS. in- tended to be filled up, and these gradually become more frequent ; while the pelagic forms, Shilpa, Pyrosoma, Appendicularia, &c,, are not treated of at all. But the fixed forms frequenting our shores are of most general interest, at least to the amateur naturalist, and this account of them renders fairly easy the identification of the species known at the time the authors Avrote. Since then others have been dis- covered, and the classification and nomenclature of the Tunicata have been much altered. Even their position in the Animal Kingdom has been raised from the invertebrate Molluscoidea to the degenerate pseudo-vertebrate Urochordat a, a Class of the (Jhordata formed for their reception. In the preparation of the first two volumes I had the advantage of the much valued assistance of Canon Norman, and I greatly regret that owing to failing health he has been unable to continue that assistance with the present volume. To him \ve owe the appearance of the work which throughout bears evidence of his assiduous collecting, the material supplied by him being far more extensive than that contributed bv anv other of the authors' friends, t «/ i t and in the number of new species surpassing even their own collections. His portrait, by my request to him, forms the frontispiece to this volume. When I commenced the preparation of the mono- graph I intended to add to the concluding volume a Bibliography of the Tunicata, but that has so greatly exceeded its anticipated extent that it must appear as a separate volume, a necessary adjunct, however, to the monograph on account of the abbreviation of the O 1 titles of works quoted in it.

As many species described in the present volume were not fig-tired by the nnthors, including nearly all those originally described by Milne Edwards in his beautifully illustrated monograph/ Observations surles Ascidies composees des cotes de la Manche/ the Editor considered it advisable to add largely to the illustrations from that and other sources. With this view all the coloured figures in Edwards' mono- graph which represent British species were photographed, and are hei'e reproduced, mostly in colour, with a few of his uncolonred figures, and also several from Savigny's classical work, ' Memoires sur les Animaux sans Vertebres.' In addition to these, the earliest published figures of every other species included in the volume are reproduced, also by photography, as text-figures. By this means, the volume, instead of being by far the most meagrely illustrated of the three, as it would otherwise have been, is, for its extent, the most richly illustrated. All the illustrations have been executed by Andre & Sleigh, Ltd., of Bushey, Watford. J. H. L I B * A R Y UQ LIST OF THE PLATES. PLATE LI. — Figs. 1-5. — Pol///-! in H m aurantium.

Individuals [intimately united, without separate tests, reproducing by gemmation, and forming fixed colonies] wholly immersed in a common envelope. Family 5. POLYCLINID.E. Individuals much elongated, consisting of a thorax containing the branchial sac, an abdomen containing the digestive organs, and a post-abdomen containing the heart and the reproductive organs ; enveloped in a common mass ; branchial aperture only with lobes. [The colony is usually massive, sometimes incrusting, and occasionally lobed or pedunculated ; the systems vary in character, sometimes being imperceptible, and their common excretory orifice is usually inconspicuous; the test is gelatinous or cartilaginous ; the branchial sac is small and not well developed ; the dorsal lamina consists of a series of languets ; the tentacles are few and small.] * Additions to the authors' MS., except obvkrasly editorial foot-notes, are placed within brackets, as in the previous volumes of this work. The term " common body," with which the description of each genus and species com- menced, is altered to " colony " ; the term " rays," for the divisions of the branchial aperture, to " lobes " ; and the term " anal," when applied to the aperture of the atrium, to " atrial." Approximate dimensions in milli- metres are inserted. A few corrections to references, verbal alterations, and transpositions are not indicated. III. 1 2 BRITISH TDNICATA. Section 1.

This species was dredged by Mr. Norman on the haddock-ground, about six miles north of Whalsey Lighthouse. It is remarkable on account of its great delicacy and the transparent funnel-shaped excretory orifices which rise considerably above the surface. [Under the name of Polyclinum siibopacum it was the intention of the authors to describe another form (PI. XI, figs. 7 and 8) found by Canon Norman in Gouliot Caves, Sark, in 1865. It bears, however, such a general resemblance to PolycHnum succineum that it may well be considered as only a variety (var. sub- vpacum) of that species.] 3. Polyclinum cerebriforme Alder.

IKELAND. — Bantry Bay, Cork (Norma/ii). First record. — Alder, 1803; cull. Norman, 1858. For a knowledge of this species we are also indebted to Mr. Norman, who procured two specimens between tide-marks on the south side of Bantry Bay, in October, 1858. It is distinguished from P. aurnnfii!))/ by the brain-like folds of the surface, as well as by its smaller and more circular common orifices (PI. LT, fig. 9). The character of the individuals could not be satisfactorily made out. A Polyclinum sent to us from Hastings by Dr. Bowerbank appears to belong to tin's species. The Hastings specimens (PL LI, figs. 10 and 11) were rather larger than those from Bnntry Bay, and not so distinctly corrugated into folds over the surface. An individual extracted from the mass had the thorax rather more elongated than in P. aurantium; the abdomen was larger, more ovate, and scarcely divided from the thorax : the post-abdomen was attached by a very slender peduncle, becoming fusiform below and ending in an obtuse point at the base The common orifices were small, circular, and verv slight! v margined. «/ en «/ [The figures of this form so nearly resemble P. cere- IriforiiK* that there can scarcely be a doubt of the identity, and the above description of the individuals may therefore be considered to supplement the meagre one of the colony as seen in the Bantry Bay specimens.] Genus 15.

The general body, however, in this species is smaller and less massive than in Aplidium fie us, and of a different colour. Forbes' figure in ' British Mollusca ' (PL A, f . 1) does not appear to represent the same species as Johnston's. His figure in PL B is taken from Savigny's Aplidium lobatum.

This Parascidia seems to take the place on the north-east coast which is occupied by Amaroucium proliferum on the south and west. It has some general resemblance to that species, but is smaller and more delicate. Like some others of the family, it is doubly compound, the compound masses giving rise to others by gemmation from creeping tubular processes running- over the stone as in the Social Ascidians. The com- mon excretory orifice can scarcely be detected after the death of the animal. 3. Parascidia flabellata Alder. Parascidia flabellata ALDER in Ann. Nat. Hist. (3) XI [1863], p. 172.

The individuals of this species are stated by Dr. Johnston to be "nutant" or curved downward at the top. This is probably only the case when the animals are dead and contracted, as the apertures would no doubt rise to the surface in a living state. Dr. John- ston's figure of an individual agrees very well with Savigny's second tribe of Aplidia : "Animaux filiformes, a ovaire beaucoup plus long que le corps." We have not been so fortunate as to meet with either this species or Amaroucium fallax Johnst. ; our knowledge of them therefore entirely depends upon Dr. John- ston's descriptions and figures.* Genus 18.

Professor Edward Forbes, again, has adopted what we believe to be another species as the Sidnyum turbinatinn of Savigny, and has altered the generic character to suit it.f It is only necessary, however, to pay a little attention to Savigny's description to be convinced that our distin- guished English naturalist was under a mistake, and that his species, an individual of which he figures with a branchial aperture of eight lobes, and a broad, un- pedunculated post-abdomen (see ' Brit Moll.' PL B, f. 2), cannot be the animal described by Savigny with a branchial aperture of six lobes, and a pedunculated post-abdomen dilated and filiform (mince comme unfit}. Besides which Forbes' species has a single circular * Savigny had not detected in these animals the character of the circula- tion and position of the heart, which is situated along with the ovary in "the post-abdomen" of Milne Edwards. t [These species are here described under the names of Parascidia Flemingii and P. Forbesii (pp. 19 and 20).] SIDNYCJM TUBBINATUM. 31 system with a common excretory orifice in the centre (mentioned only as a depression in the description), while Savigny's has several systems radiating in narrow ellipses from the centre to the circumference like the plates of a single-starred Madrepore, and without a common orifice. If this view be correct the Sidnyum turbinatum of Savigny remains yet to be identified. Mr. Thompson gives two localities for it in Ireland,* but we believe his species to be that of Forbes, with whom he was in constant correspondence. Family 6. Individuals not much elongated, composed of a dis- tinct thorax and abdomen, and enveloped in a common mass, but without post-abdomen, the heart and ovaries being associated with the digestive organs in the abdomen. [This family has been divided into two : Distomidae, containing the genus Distoma ; and Didemnidse, con- taining the genera Didemnum and Leptodinum ; both families also having genera not represented in the British Isles. They chiefly differ in the Distomidse having a colony " rounded and massive, rarely incrust- ing, either sessile or supported upon a long or short peduncle;' and the Didemnidse having a colony " usually flat, thin, and incrusting, rarely thick and massive, never pedunculated."

The first time they hauled in the drudge, I discovered a most extraordinary sea- production surrounding the stem of an oldfucus feres : it was of a hardish, but fleshy substance, and more than an inch thick, of a light brown or ash colour, the whole surface covered over with bright yellow shining and star-like bodies, which induced me to believe it to be an undescribed species of alcyonium. I put it immediately into a bucket of sea-water, expecting every moment, that the polypes, which I thought to lodge in those little stars, would extend and shew themselves like those of the alcyonium, X° - of //'///'.s Synopsis', commonly called dead-man's hand ; but after more FIG. 119. — Face vievr of a system of Botrijllus Schlosseri.

" Every one of those stars is composed of many thin hollow radii, of a pear-shape form, from five to twelve or more in number, all united intimately at their smaller end : every radius appears broad at the extreme part from the center, and a little convex in the middle of this raised broad part. When the animal is alive, there appears a circular little hole, which contracts BRITISH TUNICATA. and opens itself frequently. All the radii are of this structure ; hut their common center, which is formed by a combination of all the small converging ex- tremities, exhibits an opening of a circular, oval, or FIG. 120. — Botryllus Schlosseri incrusting Fucus serratus.

In all these holes, the central large one, as well as the smaller ones (which last I take to be the mouths of the animal) I could not perceive any tentacula, or claws, on the outside ; but by looking into them very narrowly, I saw something like very tender little fibres moving at the bottom of their insides. " By comparing and examining all the various pieces I had collected of this fleshy substance, with its shining stars, I observed, that the size and colour, as well as the very figure of these stars, varied greatly, but the structure of the leaf-like radii, and that of their mouths, and their motions, were perfectly the same, in every one individual. a FIG. 121. — Systems of Botnjllus Schlosseri.

" Manv of these bodies I have found so thick and t/ large as to resemble the great branch'd Madrepora coral, especially as they are generally to be met with covering and inclosing the stem and branches of this stiff, ramose fucus." Ellis, after describing the figures representing this organism (figs. 118 and 119) and stating that he has called it alcyonium cunioxitm. asteriscis, radiis obfusis, or n nt a in, adds : " I have had an opportunity lately of examining this curious, fleshy, coral-like substance in the microscope, and find, that all the interstices between the stars are filled with eggs of different sizes, each adhering by one end to a very fine capil- lary filament. The smallest eggs are globular, and as they advance in size, change to an oval figure; from 02 WUT1SH TUNICATA. thence they assume the shape of one of the radii of the stars. " In several of these stars I have observed a smaller radius, as it were, endeavouring to 'get into the circle ; and notwithstanding their seeming connection in the center as one animal, I believe I shall soon be able to shew you, in a drawing from the microscope, that each radius is a distinct animal by itself." Borlase's account of this discovery is as follows : " The alcyonium is of a middle nature between the herbaceous and horny submarines; its substance fleshy, and sometimes hard even to cartilaginous; shapeless at times ; sometimes tubular ; generally in- habited by animalcules.

The authors of the present monograph placed it under P>. bivittatus, a species from which it differs entirely in colour.

BRITISH TUNICATA. The foregoing is Savigny's brief diagnosis of a species observed by Graertner on the English coast and com- municated to Pallas by him. Whether it is correctly referred to Botrylln* is open to doubt, and even its inclusion with the Tunicata has been questioned. Graertner described the individuals as " raisins " with toothless terminal apertures, most of them being obovate, subimbricate, smooth, and whitish in colour, adhering by their blunt ends to the surface of the body (the incrusting mass), which is gelatinous, soft, convex, FIG. 135. — Two colonies of Botryllus conglomeratus (a, a) on a frond of Fucus nodosus, natural size, with one of them magnified. and adheres to marine plants. The branchial apertures (terminaliperforati) are fairly large, the other extremity being more slender, incurved, and having very small apertures (atrial ?), while the central cavity (common cloacal canal) is funnel-shaped and encircled with a whitish contractile margin. Graertner mentions the " ovules " as being globose, whitish, and spread over the gelatinous substance. The species is met with but rarely, he said, on a F ucii s, chiefly xcriritiis and nodoxus.~\ INDEX OF SPECIES, ETC., DESCRIBED IN VOL. III. Synonyms in italic*. PAGE Aggregate . 1 Alcyoin'itm ?
