The cells of Campanularia volubilis, as drawn by Van Beneden, are exact representations of the crenatures. Before seeing his Memoir I had sketched the outline of these cells, which might now be taken for copies of his figures." — F. W. L. Thomas, Lieut. R.N. in Letter of 25 April, 1846. It would appear, therefore, that two species are confounded under the name of Laomedea gelatinosa ; and, when their characters are defined, the name ought to be restricted to that with crenated cells.

Cocks, Esq., and represent one of the varieties of the species. *** When speaking of the urticating property of the Helianthoida, p. 188, I accidentally omitted the observations of Professor Allman on the Anthea cereus. He writes me — " If one of these animals, when recently taken out of the water, be placed witli the tentacula in contact with the human skin, and allowed to remain there for a few seconds, a smarting pain will be immediately experienced, and the surface of the skin which had been touched by the zoophyte will exhibit an inflammatory blush, which will be speedily followed by a most powerful urticaria-like eruption with a sense of burning and tingling, which will sometimes last for more than an hour. The symptoms are far more severe than anything 1 have experienced from the stinging powers of the Acalepha. I have frequently tested this curious property of Anthea, not only on myself but on others, and with animals taken from different localities." /'/. ///;■ YUV. ' hy Jokn,VarLVccrst. Paternoster Row.
