There were seven Turbellaria in the material handed to us by Mr W. S. Bruce, all obtained in April 1903 from Scotia Bay, South Orkney Islands (9–10 fms., Station 325, lat. 60° 44′ S., long. 44° 51′ W.). Their occurrence is interesting, as, although Studer (Ueber Seethiere aus dem Antarktischen Meere, 1876) mentions, without adequately describing it, a Eurylepta from Kerguelen Island, there are no definite records, so far as we have been able to ascertain, of Turbellarian species from nearer the Antarctic than the coasts of South America.

Among the numerous littoral Alcyonarians collected by the Royal Indian Marine survey ship Investigator in the Indian Ocean there are five small Siphonogorgids of exceptional interest and apparently new to science. As some time must elapse before the publication of the complete memoir on the Indian Ocean collection, it seems advisable to make a separate report on these new forms. In so doing, I must acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor A. Alcock, F.R.S., and Professor J. Arthur Thomson, M.A., F.R.S.E., University of Aberdeen, for the opportunity of studying these interesting forms, and to the latter also for much kind advice and encouragement.
