Dr. WRIGHT has given us a very brief description of this 

 zoophyte. He does not mention or figure any creeping 

 base ; but probably the erect shoots are bound together 

 and rooted by a filiform stolon, as in other cases. " This 

 little Tubularian * * bears the same relation to Vorti- 

 clava that Tub. larynx does to Corymorplia" (Wright.}

Plate XXIII. fig. 3. 



STEMS sparingly branched, spirally twisted ; POLYPITES pale 

 orange ; oral tentacles from 2 to 8, aboral from 4 to 12. 

 Height about inch. 



A. LARYNX resembles in habit Tubularia larynx.

Genus CIONISTES, T. S. Wright. 



GENERIC CHARACTER. Polypites sessile, with a single 

 verticil of filiform tentacles, developed at intervals on a re- 

 ticulated stolon ; gonophores borne on rudimentary poly- 

 pites, which are columnar and without either tentacles or 

 clusters of thread-cells ; reproduction by means of fixed 

 sporosacs. 



WE have but a slight account of this genus from its
