Fiuds of Lictorella pinnata iu the Northern .Atlantic. a blind sack of any real anatomical importance. Microtome sections reveal an entirely uniform gastral endoderm, and I have not been able to find any portion of the endoderm histologically corresponding to the epithelium in the blind sack of Sertulariidcr. The "blind sack" observed must thus be due to accident. Lictorella pinnata exhibits a highly remarkable distribution (fig. VII). It belongs to the upper part of the abyssal region, but penetrates as far down as 1300 metres; on the other hand, the species can at times occur right up in the littoral region, and has been met with m the Hardanger Fjord even up at a depth of only 90 metres. Horizontalh-, the species seems to be quite widely distri- buted, but the few records from southern seas are unreliable, as the species has here been confused with Lictorella autipathes (Lamarck). Pictet and Bedot (1900 p. 16) record it from the Bay of Gas-.
