Excerpt from Descriptive Catalogue of the Medus of the Australian Seas: In Two Parts: Part I. Scyphomemedus , Part II. Hydromedus All the forms described by me are depicted in the plate, for the painting of which I am indebted to my mother. This descriptive catalogue of the Australian species forms part of a series of similar works published by the Trustees of the Australian Museum, and I must here fulfil the pleasant duty of thanking them for the assistance afforded to me by them in continuing my researches into the Australian Coelenterates. In particular am I indebted to the Curator of the Australian Museum, Mr. E. P. Ramsay, whose courtesy and judgment have made this work pleasant and efficient.
