This species was first recorded from Mc Murdo Bay and is here reported from another locality which considerably widensits distribution in the Antarctic Ocean. Many bits of gorgonids were present in the sample but on examination all the bits were found to belong to the same species - Primnoisis spicata (Hickson). The cortical zone of the specimens was not preserved in any of the bits examined but a careful study revealed the presence of a small bit with a few polyps preserved intact. This bit was used in the extraction of spicules. Microscopic examination revealed that the spicules were eroded to the maximum, obviously due to the effect of strong formalin used in the preservation.
