It has been a splendid cruise for me in Nat.History.Amongst the Pelagic Crustacea, some new and curious genera.

In the Zoophytes some interesting animals.
As for one Flustra, if I had not the specimen to back me up nobody would believe in its most anomalous structure.

But as for novelty all this is nothing to a family of pelagic animals which at first sight appear like Medusae but are really highly organised.

I have examined them repeatedly, and certainly from their structure it would be impossible to place them in any existing order.

Perhaps Salpa is the nearest animal, although the transparency of the body is nearly the only character they have in common.
