I propose to designate both new forms by the varietal name of cruciata, or cruciatum. Oenothera biennis cruciata was found in a native locality of the O. biennis itself. It consisted of only one plant, showing in all its flowers the cruciata marks.
Intermediates are often found in hybrid cultures, and in them the character is a very variable one, but as yet they were not met with in progeny of this mutant. All these plants were exactly like O. biennis, with the single exception of their petals. Epilobium hirsutum cruciatum was discovered by John Rasor near Woolpit, Bury St. Edmunds, in England.
The adult animals swim admirably and are not confined to their host; as soon as the specimens of Chrysaora Blossevillei, Less., or Rhizostoma cruciatum, Less., on which they are seated, become the sport of the waves in the neighbourhood of the shore, they escape from them, and are only to be obtained from lively Acalephs.
