p 54 Diachoris 2 spec. New Zealand. T. del Fuego

p 67 Lepralia reticulata Britain, Egean, New Zealand

auriculata Britain Egean Falkland Ids.

70 spinifera Britain Algos Bay(?) trispinosa Britain C. Horn.

{N. B There are 46 species all fd. N. or S. California Chile. C. of Good Hope Egean & New Zealand warmest places without "Sana isld" be in Tropics, this genus of Lepralia seems confined to temperate seas.

p 83 Lepralia Malusii Britain Patagonia T. del F. New Zealand The American specimens present slight var.

84 hyalina Britain Greenland California Cape of Good Hope. Falkland Isd

p 89 Retepora cellulosa Mediterranean Britain? C. Horn Australian seas (latter a var.)

p. 98. Genus Cupularlia 5 species New Guinea, Coast of Africa, Madeira, Philippines, St. Vincent W. Indies so that is Tropical Genus.

[86]

p. 100 Lunulites 4 species: Cape Capricorn Australia 23º 30' 2 species: Philippines 2 species. So this Tropical genus.

So there are 6 species of Lepralia & one Retepora fd. in N. & S. colder & warmer temperate seas, & apparently not fd. in North.

(There is, of course, some doubt whether eggs cd be transported, or occasionally living individuals on Fuci across the Tropical seas.—)
