Extract

While it is known that the hydroid Clytiajohnstoni (Alder) may get broken off and drift in the plankton (Russell, personal communication), rounding off into pelagic colonies, there is, however, no record of the hydroids Sarsia tubulosa (M. Sars) and Tubularia larynx (Ellis and Solander) living under similar conditions.
