Thaumantias esc/isc/iolhii wias described and figured by Haeckel in his System der ]Medusen and has frequently, in text books and manuals, been mentioned as a typical Tliatonaiitias. Haeckel's descrip- tion was based on some specimens from Greenland in the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen. I have seen these specimens and found that the large, black ocelli are so conspicuous, that it seems incom- prehensible, how they have escaped the attention of Haeckel, when he examined the individuals in order to describe them. The specimens are certainly the same, which were examined by Haeckel, and not some others, erroneously identified by another person. This is clearly demonstrated by the label being provided with a number referring to a list of the collection of medusie, then in the museum.
