Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exploration of the Surface Fauna of the Gulf Stream, Vol. 3: Under the Auspices of the Coast Survey; Part I, the Porpitidoe and Vellelidoe Mr. C. O. Whitman was sent to Key West this spring in hopes of obtaining the material necessary to complete this memoir, and at the same time to investigate anew the whole subject of the structure and functions Of the ao-called yellow cells. Although Mr. Whitman spent six weeks at Key West, he was unable to accomplish the Object of his trip, not a single Velella appearing in the harbor of Key West during the whole of his visit. I have therefore thought it advisable not to delay the publication of the descriptive part of this memoir any longer, and to complete it when the necessary preparations could be finished.
