POLYPITES tall and rather stout, of an orange-brown colour, 

 with a very long and somewhat columnar, opake- white 

 proboscis, and about 14 tentacles, some of which are

 to the body ; GONOPHORES forming a large collar round 

 the polypite, at a short distance below the tentacles, 

 disposed in two rows, and borne on small tubercles, 

 ovate, red and purplish. 



GONOZOOID. In the specimens which I have examined, and 

 which were obtained in the month of September, the 

 gonozooids had all the appearance of being imperfectly 

 developed, and never became free. The umbrella and 

 the radiating canals were visible through the investing 

 capsule ; and round the free margin of the former were

 base. The cavity of the umbrella was occupied by an 

 orange mass, with the upper extremity always of a 

 purplish colour. This mass gradually increased in size,

 not traced further ; but I have little doubt that this was
