Abstract
AT the end of August one of my students, Mr. H. Jenkins, sent me some medusæ which he had found in a reservoir at the Bedwellty Pits Colliery, Tredegar, Monmouthshire. They proved on examination to belong to Craspedacusta sowerbii, Lankester. The medusæ were very numerous and ranged from quite small specimens to those measuring at least half an inch in diameter. The reservoir was originally constructed to feed the boilers of the colliery, and is divided into three compartments. The medusæ were found in the central compartment only. This is 80 yards long, from 4 to 14 yards wide, and from 2 to 8 feet deep.
