Abstract
RECENTLY I sent you a short communication (June 6, p. 353) on Merlia normani, the siliceous sponge with a supplementary calcareous skeleton, stating that it was of a double nature, and consisted of a sponge living in symbiosis with a chlorophyll-containing organism. Further, I stated that the name Merlia normani would have to be applied to the latter. I am glad to find, however, that this transfer of the name is not necessary, and that the sponge will continue to be called Merlia normani.
