Abstract
PROF. WYVILLE THOMSON has just sent me from the Challenger an account of certain results of Deep Sea dredgings in the North Pacific. In these dredgings was obtained a Gymnoblastic Hydroid of such colossal dimensions that the largest form hitherto known sinks in comparison with it into utter insignificance. Prof. Thomson has determined the Hydroid as a MONOCAULUS or nearly allied form, and a beautiful drawing which accompanies his letter confirms this view.
