These bodies like the gonosomes arise from the upper walls of the basal plate of tubes attached to the body of the fish. [...] The difficulty of interpreting the nature of the flask-shaped bodies of Hydrichthys becomes lessened in the light of the new genus Nudiclava ; and the present writer is strongly of the opinion tnat the flask-shaped bodies of the former and the club-shaped bodies of the latter are both hydranths devoid of tentacles. [...] Here the similarity stops and the two genera are seprated by the great differences in the gonophores and in the internal structure of the hydranth which in Hydrichthys is quite of the usual hydroid type. [...] CT ---= The " connecting tube " which communicates on the one hand with the cavity of the hydranth and on the other with the " straight tube." The connecting tube lies within what appears to be a closed spherical chamber the thin walls of which are reflected on to the tube itself. [...] This is of course quite apart from new species to be hereafter discovered.' The object of the Catalogue is to provide a systematic list of the mosquitoes recorded from the Oriental Region and therefore the comments are confined to questions of synonymy or notes of general interest and do not touch upon either of those vast sides of the subject the biological and the medical.
