Two new genera and four new species of the gorgonacean family Chrysogorgiidae are described and illustrated, and keys to the genera and species are presented. The genus Stephanogorgia is established for a new shallow-water species, Stephanogorgia wainwrighti, from the Fiji Islands. A second new species from the Sulu Archipelago, collected by the U.S. Fish Commission steamer "Albatross", is described as S. diomedea. A species from the Palau Islands, recently described by Bayer as Trichogorgia faulkneri, is shown to be generically distinct from Trichogorgia and is here transferred to Stephanogorgia. A new species of the genus Trichogorgia Hickson, obtained by diving and shallowwater trawling in the Caribbean Sea, is described as Trichogorgia lyra, and the... |

A new species of nephtheid soft coral inhabiting the northeast Pacific Ocean is described from samples collected using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and a benthic trawl. Two hundred thirty ROV video observations provide additional information about the biogeographical distribution and habitat characteristics of this new species and are used to supplement the information ascertained from collected specimens. The species described herein is found through a broad range of depths (519-2034 m), has been observed through a latitudinal range of approximately 1581 km (33.10472°N; 47° 51.412’N), and has primarily been observed living upon hard-rock substrate. In addition, we revise the generic designation of the South African nephtheid Litophyton liltvedi and... |

Hickson, S.J.. |
There are 4 specimens with the following measurements in length: specimen A. 280 mm. specimen C. 100 mm. „ B. 150 „ „ D. 90 „ The largest of these has fully developed leaves with a marginal length of about 40 mm. In specimen B the leaves are represented by broad triangular lobes having a maximum marginal length of 5 mm. In specimen C the leaves are also remarkably small but larger than in specimen B. In specimen D, the smallest of the series, the leaves are still larger having a maximum marginal length of 10 mm. It is evident, I think, that of these four specimens only one (specimen A) is normal. The others have either been injured or have undergone some pathological change. It is difficult to understand what kind of injury the specimens could have... |

Names of groups of organisms in the higher categories are being changed rather often, even when there is no need for it. This is allowed because the codes of nomenclature do not apply to group names above the family level. Regrettably this may lead to long periods of confusion. Examples are Coelenterata for which the new name Cnidaria was proposed in 1888 and Madreporaria for which the new name Scleractinia was proposed in 1900. The gradual replacement of the old names by the new names in scientific papers during the last 50 years was analyzed. The name Madreporaria virtually disappeared during this period and the name Coelenterata is now being used in only about 10% of scientific papers and had better be abandoned as well. |

In this revision of the genus Sinularia 93 valid species are recorded. The type specimens of 13 species could not be examined, since the depository of the specimens is unknown; nevertheless it is possible to make notes on seven of them in this paper; three were discussed in former papers (S. gyrosa, S. marenzelleri and S. rigida), while the remaining three (S. mayi, S. microspiculata and S. verrucosa) could not be described in this paper. The holotypes of 24 species were described earlier by the present author and the reader is referred to the literature given. The results of the examination of two other species (S. densa and S. larsonae) will appear elsewhere (Records Aust. Mus. Sydney). Altogether 64 species are more or less fully described now; among... |

Vor einiger Zeit erhielt das Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden von Prof. T. Y. Chen, Amoy, eine Anzahl Scyphomedusen zugesendet unter dem Namen: Acromitus tankakheei Light. Von diesem Fundorte ist bisher nur diese einzige Acromitus-Art bekannt (Light, 1924). Da die Beschreibung von Light nur ganz kurz und in mancher Hinsicht unzureichend ist, unternahm ich es, einer Anregung Dr .G. Stiasny's folgend, das Material von Amoy genauer zu untersuchen und die Lücken in der Beschreibung von Light zu ergänzen. Ich erwartete natürlich in den übersandten Medusen die von Light beschriebene Meduse, Acromitus tankakheei, wiederzufinden, fand aber zu meiner Ueberraschung, dass alle Exemplare der Species flagellatus angehören. Ich musste daher annehmen, dass... |

Species of Corallimorpharia collected during the CANCAP expeditions in the south-eastern part of the North Atlantic are described and discussed, altogether five species belonging to three genera of Corallimorphidae: the shallow water forms Corynactis viridis Allman, 1846, Pseudocorynactis caribbeorum den Hartog, 1980, and P. caboverdensis spec. nov., and the deep-sea forms Corallimorphus cf. atlanticus Carlgren, 1934, and C. ingens Gravier, 1918. The taxonomic status of the representatives of the genus Corynactis Allman, 1846, is discussed. All temperate to subtropical species described so far belong to a group of closely related allopatric taxa forming the Corynactis viridis-complex, possibly representing a single species only. The colours of Corynactis... |

Gelegentlich der Durchsicht einiger älterer Planktonfänge aus dem malayischen Archipel in den Sammlungen des Rijks Museum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden fanden sich zahlreiche Entwicklungsstadien von Rhopilema hispidum (VANH.) MAAS vor, über die ich hier kurz berichten will. Ueber die Entwicklung des Genus Rhopilema ist bisher nichts bekannt. Dies ist auffallend, weil dasselbe in den japanischen, indischen und malayischen Gewässern durch einige Arten vertreten ist und dieselben keineswegs zu den seltenen Formen gerechnet werden können. In Japan wird Rhopilema esculentum KISH. sogar als Volks-Nahrungsmittel verwendet (3), Rh. hispidum MAAS ist in den Sammlungen des Rijksmuseum durch zahlreiche Exemplare von verschiedenen Fundorten aus dem malayischen... |
