A Checklist Of The Ahermatypic Scleractinia Of The Gulf Of Mexico, With The Description Of A New Species, Stephen D. Cairns
Gulf and Caribbean Research
A brief chronology of discovery of the 54 ahermatypic Scleractinia known from the Gulf of Mexico is presented. Of this total, 6 are new records for the Gulf. A checklist is provided for all species indicating their Gulf distribution and their overall bathymetric range. One new species of Pourtalosmilia is described, which represents a new record for this genus in the western Atlantic.
Notes On The Status Of The Gannet (Morus Bassanus) In The Gulf Of Mexico, With A Record From Mississippi, Gordon Gunter, W. David Burke
Notes On The Status Of The Gannet (Morus Bassanus) In The Gulf Of Mexico, With A Record From Mississippi, Gordon Gunter, W. David Burke
Gulf and Caribbean Research
The Northern Gannet nests on rock cliffs in the north Atlantic and winters as far south as Yucatan on the west, and N.W. Africa on the east. The birds are not known to cross land and seem to fly around Florida to enter the Gulf of Mexico. Most numbers have been reported off Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Numbers in the western Gulf seem to be few. There are 12 skeletal parts or skins of Texas gannets in museums in Texas and Louisiana. Two specimens have been collected in Louisiana, only one of which is known to remain. …

The Occurrence Of The Remarkable Scyphozoan, Deepstaria Enigmatica, In The Gulf Of Mexico And Some Observations On Cnidarian Symbionts, Philip J. Phillips
Gulf and Caribbean Research
On 8 July 1965 one damaged specimen of the remarkable scyphozoan, Deepstaria enigmatica Russell 1967, was taken in the course of a sampling program conducted by the Department of Oceanography, Texas A&M University in a ten-foot Issacs-Kidd midwater trawl in the Yucatan Basin. The trawl was put into water at Lat. 19" 58' N, Long. 85" 14' W. This is the first report of Deepstaria in the Atlantic region. This medusa is otherwise known only from the Pacific Ocean where it has been captured by slurp gun from the submersible Deepstar over the San Diego Trench and has been taken …

The Status Of Seals In The Gulf Of Mexico With A Record Of Feral Otariid Seals Off The United States Gulf Coast, Gordon Gunter
Gulf and Caribbean Research
The only seal native to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean area is the West Indian seal (family Phocidae). It is tan on the upper surface and a yellowish white underneath. It is now extinct or nearly so. Two seals were reported in Louisiana near the mouth of the Mississippi in January 1966. Photographs of one animal taken from a helicopter showed an otariid seal. In late June a light colored otariid seal began to reside on the buoys of the ship channel leading into Mobile Bay. It stayed there about two and a half weeks. The animal was …
