I am much indebted to Mr. E. T. Browne for suggesting that thespecimen described by me was the Medusa saltatrix of Tilesius andfor calling my attention to the above-mentioned references to theliterature on the subject. As there has been no figure of Spirocodon saltatrix since the leidliche Abbildung published by Tilesius in 1818, I trust thatthe carefully drawn figures of Mr. Highley, published in connexionwith my notes, will prove of interest. ^
