egg jelly

Hi Folks:
Attached are photos taken by Jose Turrubiates, a biologist with Mexican
fisheries in La Paz. These are medusae abundant in the water column off
Isla Natividad, which is near the Vizcaino peninsula, at about Lat. 28N;
Long. 115W. He would be most thankful for your help identifying the
jellies.

Sincerely,

Bob Breen
