The Adriatic also produces a species of the same genus (Polythoa) which inhabits, like that of the Chinese Sea, a sponge to which the name of Axinella has been given. These Polythoss are only found on the Axinellae, says Osc. Schmidt, who has especially studied the sponges of this sea and of the Mediterranean. Professor Gill mentioned at the last meeting of the scientific congress at Portland (1873), a new Hyalonema found on the coast of North America by the fishery commission of the United States. A memoir on these sponges, interesting in a systematic point of view, is due to the pens of Herklots and of Marshall. We think that we ought to place among fixed mess- mates a very problematical organism which lives on Ser- tulariae, especially on the Sertularia abietina, and which Strethill Wright has desig- nated by the name of Core- thria sertularia. Claparede has given to this singular animal the more expressive name of Ophiodendrum abie- on Sertularia abietina.
