Extract

During a short visit of seven days to the Station Biologique, Roscoff, in June 1955, I was able to make some observations on living colonies of Merona cornucopiae (Norman) and on other hydroids. The object of my visit was to see living polyps of Tricyclusa singularis which were also found, but unexpectedly Merona was found during dredging and provided the opportunity for a much needed re-description from living material.
