XXX.—On a New Siphonogorgid Genus Cactogorgia*; with Descriptions of Three New Species.

  • James J. Simpson (a1)
Extract

Among the numerous littoral Alcyonarians collected by the Royal Indian Marine survey ship Investigator in the Indian Ocean there are five small Siphonogorgids of exceptional interest and apparently new to science. As some time must elapse before the publication of the complete memoir on the Indian Ocean collection, it seems advisable to make a separate report on these new forms. In so doing, I must acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor A. Alcock, F.R.S., and Professor J. Arthur Thomson, M.A., F.R.S.E., University of Aberdeen, for the opportunity of studying these interesting forms, and to the latter also for much kind advice and encouragement.

* The generic name Cactogorgia is suggested by the general resemblance to a Cactus-type of growth.
