obliquely sloped with an everted even rim which is often reduplicated, while sometimes 

 a complete new hydrotbeca rises out of the old one, its stem passing through this, 

 and standing at varying heights above it (Plate I., tig. 2). Zooid witb about 

 20 tentacles. Gonosome not present. 



Locality : Found creeping over sbells and zoophytes, north of Cheval Paar, 

 7 to 10 fathoms. 



This species has very much the appearance of Campanularia grandis, Allman (1), 



Fig. 2. Campanularia jv/iuxa -well-grown but living. 

 This and fie. 3 are about I natural size.

but has no node below the hydrotheca, although there are sometimes one or two 

 joints, and it does not narrow towards the margin. It has apparently a tendency to 

 completely reduplicate itself, a habit I have only seen described in the case of 

 (Jlytia poterium, L. Ac. (8). The older hydrotheca has always lost its zooid when 

 this happens, and also its corrugated sides, and looks old and worn.
