Whilst working at the fossils connected with our paper “A Study of Ballstone and the Associated Beds in theWenlock Limestone of Shropshire”, my colleague, Miss M. C.Crosfield, and I became much interested in a small round form of Labechia. We did not find many specimens, about a dozen in all,although we spent a considerable time in collecting, and these wereobtained at only three quarries, which contain otherwise a prolificfauna, viz. Bradley Rock and Shadwell Rock, Much Wenlock, andat Knole Quarry, Presthope. The tops of these quarries are in thehighest beds of the Wenlock Limestone series and are of bands ofirregularly shaped nodules of various sizes, with shale partings andof a light-brown colour (this latter fact distinguishes the beds fromthe rest of the limestone). It is only in these upper beds that this Labechia is found, but Labechia conferta, Lonsd., is found, often in greatnumbers and size, everywhere throughout the limestone, thoughperhaps slightly diminishing in quantity at the top. So far, I havenot been able satisfactorily to identify this species. Nicholson, in his monograph, mentions and figures a young example of L. conferta, which he records as only being 2 to 3 cm. in diameter and 1 mm. inthickness.

Aristolochia weixiensis, a new species from northwest Yunnan, China, is described. A. weixiensis is affinis to A. moupinensis with similar leaf shape, but differs from the latter in the limb with dark purple colour and dense papillae, ca. 3.5 cm in diam., throat with light brown colour and dense brownish red patches, 13–16 mm in diam. Meanwhile, A. weixiensis is similar to A. wuana with similar leaves in shape, but differs in fruit and the size of leaf.

A new species of Haminoea (Opisthobranchia: Cephalaspidea), Haminoea callidegenita, is described from Washington State, U.S.A. Diagnostic features are reddish brown colour, deeply bifurcate cephalic shield, reddish ovate shell with imperforate apex, tubular Hancock's organ, unarmed penis, unilobular prostate, and radula formula n.l.l.l.n (n from 12 to 21), with bicuspid first lateral uncini. The development of H. callidegenita is unusual among the Opisthobranchia in that the hatching stage includes both lecithotrophic veligers and juveniles from each egg mass. Diagnostic features were examined among animals from different populations of H. callidegenita and two other Haminoea species found in the northeast Pacific: H. vesicula Gould, 1855 and H. virescens Sowerby, 1833. Shell shape was slightly variable among individuals of all three species and radula morphologies were variable among populations of H. vesicula. Fingerlike papillae were noted on the gizzard plates and are suggested as a diagnostic character.

A New Species

The mineral here analysed was brought from the peninsula of Hindostan by Dr. Heyné, where it occurs in considerable quantity along with malachite. Those specimens that are freest from malachite are of a dark blackish brown colour, soft, being easily scratched with a knife, which leaves a streak of a reddish brown. Its specific gravity is 2·62. Its fracture is in general small-conchoidal, but with a tendency in some parts to a foliated fracture; but it has not yet been seen with any appearance of external crystalline form. It effervesces with acids, which form a blue or green solution according to the acid used, and leaves a red powder undissolved.

A New Species

A new species, Euscorpiops liisp. nov., from Xizang (Tibet) in southwest China is described herein. Adult scorpions in this species are principally characterized by yellow-brown colour, a length of less than 40 mm, 17 trichobothria on the external surface of the pedipalp patella and usually six trichobothria on the ventral surface of the pedipalp patella in both sexes. With the description of this new species, the number of known species of the genus Euscorpiops from China is raised to 13 (five species found in Xizang, including the new species, and eight other species in Yunnan). A key to the species of the genus Euscorpiops from China is presented.

A New Species

The writer has recently reared a species of hydroid at Plymouth, which, in the vegetative state, might easily be confused with Slauridium productum Wright, 1858. The original creeping stolon from which the colony developed was found on a piece of dead Eunicella verrucosa (Pallas) dredged by the S.S.Salpa near Stoke Point on March 9th, 1936.When isolated in a finger-bowl with “outside” sea water the stolon bore no polyps and showed no sign of activity, but three weeks later a single polyp had developed (Fig. 3). From its close resemblance to the figures given by Hartlaub (1895) for S. productum, it was at first assumed to be this species and was carefully watched and fed in the hope of rearing the medusæ from it. After a period of time, however, when the colony had increased considerably in size, styloid gonophores were developed.The type of growth of the fully grown colony is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The stems are elongated and slender, bearing polyps at intervals. Polyps are borne at the summit and also on branches of the main stems. These branches usually arise from one side only of the main stems and it is probable that under natural conditions in the sea these main stems are really stolons. It is also likely that in nature the intervals between the polyps are fairly short. The whole colony has a faint yellow-brown colour which becomes reddish-brown in the polyps and the upper part of the hydrocaulus.

A New Species

Two new species of <em>Trechus</em> from the Oromia Province (Ethiopia) are described in the present note. In the first part we describe <em>Archeotrechus</em>, a new microphtalmic <em>Trechus</em>, characterized by the dilation of only the first tarsal segment in males and by the aedeagus with the dorsal part amost completely divided into two lobes: a sclerified connection exists only in the region of the basal ostium. To this subgenus we ascribe the new species <em>Trechus</em> (<em>Archeotrechus</em>) <em>relictus</em>, from the area of Mt. Sgona (Batu), of yellow-brown colour, rather flattened, with non sinuate pronotum and blunt fore and hind angles; two discal setae in the third stria. The aedeagus is much elongated, with a spherical apical button, copulatory piece triangular, lanceolate, with a sharp apex, little sclerified and very simple, typical of ancestral forms, like for instance <em>Minitrechus</em> Vigna Taglianti &amp; Magrini, 2009. The female gonostyli, short and curved, bear at the apex two big setae on the inner edge. In the second part of the note we describe <em>Trechus</em> (s. str.) <em>oromiensis</em>, a new species of <em>bipartitus</em> Group (sensu novo), characterized by the presence of only one discal seta on elytra and by peculiar features of the aedeagus.

A New Species

Echinoids of the genus Caenopedina are widely distributed in continental shelf and slope waters of tropical to subAntarctic regions. A new species, Caenopedina porphyrogigas sp. nov. is described from temperate and sub-Antarctic areas of New Zealand and southeastern Australia in depths of 350–1200 m. This species is distinctive for the rich brown colour of its spines, purple apical and oral regions, large size, wide interambulacral plates, lack of obvious sexual dimorphism, and few forms of pedicellariae. The first confirmed records outside of the Hawaiian Islands and neighbouring atolls of another species in the genus, C. pulchella, reveal its existence also in northern New Zealand, and C. otagoensis, previously considered endemic to New Zealand is recorded from additional locations in the region as well as from a seamount west of Tasmania. An updated key to the species of Caenopedina is provided to include the four Australasian species most recently described.

A New Species

The faunal analysis of hard bottom materials collected from Alsancak Harbour and its vicinity (Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea) revealed a new syllid species, Syllis ergeni. The species is mainly characterized by having a dark-brown colour pattern on the dorsum of anterior and middle segments, short blade falcigers, the number and morphology of aciculae, and a pigmented proventriculus and pharynx. The morphology, ecology, distribution and reproductive features of the species are explained and discussed.
