On the supposed new Marine Animal from Barraud's Inlet

Abstract

As some interest seems to be excited as to the nature of the animal that forms the long calcareous axis that has been received from Barraud's Inlet, I forward you a copy of a short notice I read on the subject before the California Academy of Sciences, July 17, 1871. I also enclose a piece of the stem with some of the soft parts still adhering to it, as it is possible its examination by competent observers will determine if I correctly referred it to the sponges.
