The collection of worms obtained by the Expedition on board the U. S. Coast Survey Steamer "Blake," in the Gulf of Mexico, during the months of January, February, and March, 1878, is very rich in material. A cursory examination of this collection confirms in general the relations which similar materials from the Hassler Expedition had already shown me; but the "Blake" Expedition has in a number of instances furnished a most desirable supplement to the results of the earlier expedition; worms unfamiliar to me, which in the latter were represented only by useless fragments, being here found in well-preserved specimens, and worm cases, which I had only seen empty, here occupied by their builders. I hope soon to present my complete report on both these collections, the publication of which has been delayed partly by the pressure of other engagements, partly by the time-consuming work of investigating and illustrating animals for the greater part undescribed. I give here only a mere summary of what I have received from the "Blake" Expedition. The collection was sent in seventy-eight bottles, the contents arranged by locality, being for the greater part so distributed that neither too many specimens nor too dissimilar species were placed together. This was important to their preservation, which was in general very good. With the contents of every bottle was a label recording the locality from which they came.
