In January 1952 I received four bottles of plankton containing Forskalia material, taken in the Red Sea by ' Discovery II' in November 1951. The material is in better condition than usual, and although it cannot be worked up for this report it can be said that it corresponds well with specimens of F. edwardsii from the Mediterranean. The material consisted of: 'Discovery II' Net Depth (m.) Material Station 2905 Station 2906 TYFB N70B TYFB N70B 250-0 200-0 Two young colonies Pieces of several colonies and young ones.
