CORYNE PUSILLA, Gaci'tiier. 



[ nth- pp. 39, 40.] 



THE Stipula ramosa of Sars was referred with doubt to this 

 species before I had seen the figure of it in the ' Soedyrenes 

 Naturhistorie." After examining that figure I have no 

 hesitation in placing it amongst the synonyms of C.pusilla. 

 The male gonophores in this genus seem to be always 

 pointed above, while the females are spherical. 



Genus SYNCORYNE, Ehrenb. (in part).

I HAVE obtained this species on Laminaria-roots from the 

 Capstone at Ilfracombe, and am thus enabled to give a 

 figure of it and to add some particulars to Prof. Allman's 

 description. 



The polypites are long, of nearly equal width throughout, 

 with about 20 very short and thick tentacles, the capitula 

 of which are scarcely broader than the arm itself. Those 

 of the uppermost or oral verticil, consisting of four, are 

 much the largest, those of the lowest are only about one- 

 third the size. The stem tapers downwards. 



There are three gonophores in each cluster, and some- 

 times two clusters on a polypite, sometimes only one. 



SYNCORYNE FEROX, T. S. Wright. 



CORYNK FEROX, Wright, Journ. Anat. and Physiol. i. 335. 



STEMS single, smooth ; POLYPITES with thick, short tenta- 

 cles, having the capitula scarcely larger than the width 

 of the tentacle ; GONOPHORES borne beneath the tentacles. 



GONOZOOID similar to that of S. decipiens. 



A FULLER description were much to be desired. 



This species is nearly allied to the S. decipiens, but
