Abstract
WHILE making a study of the scyphomedusan Atolla in north Atlantic waters I recently found that there were two species, A. wyvillei and A. vanhöffeni 1. I can now state that there is a third species. Like A. vanhöffeni, this is a small species, apparently not exceeding 30 mm. in diameter, but the shape of the base of its stomach is similar to that of A. wyvillei.
