Paa Smaagrenene ligge Spiklerne endnu mere spredte,

 Spilder, der ere hyppigst paa Stammen og Hovedgrenene.

 mities, with a bare mesial belt measuring 0.020 ' in

Uppermost on the stem, the spicules are placed 

 more dispersed; they form foliaeeous subclavates with short 

 shafts, and measure 0.180""" in length. and 0.100""" in 

 breadth above (fig. 50) ; spicate oi' warted rollers with.

 short shaft, measuring 0.120'"'" in length, and 0.080""" in 

 breadth above (fig. 54). 



On the branchlets, the spicules are placed still more 

 dispersed, and just as we recognise in the stem spicules 

 like those of the basal part, do we, also, find on the 

 branchlets, similar spicules to those which are most fre- 

 quent on the stem and the main branches. But besides 

 these, there are othcr \ arving forms which pertain, prin- 

 eipally, to the branchlets ; these are semi-foliaceous, semi- 

 warted rollers measuring 0.240"'"' in length, and 0.092"""

 foliaeeous clavates. measuring 0.118'"'" in length, and 0.080"""

 thinly spicated fusees with acuminate extremities, meas-

On the anterior body of the polyps, foliaeeous sub- 

 clavates are most frequently met with. partly with straight, 

 partly with somewhat bent, shaft; the straight subclavates are 

 the largest, and measure 0.288""" in length, and 0.128""" in 

 breadth above (fig. 60); the bent ones measure 0.220""" in 

 length. and 0.120'"'" in breadth. and approach, somewhat, to 

 the cruciform (fig. 61); between these. slender spicate sub- 

 clavates are seen, which have a long acuminated shaft, and 

 measure 0.200""" in length, and 0.032»"" in breadth, (fig. 62); 

 and. extremely rarely, a few spicate fusees measuring 

 0.200""" in length. and 0.040""" in breadth, (fig. 63). 



On the posterior body, partly foliaeeous, partly 

 warted subclavates may be observed; these have a rather
