Farven. 

 Gul, spillende svagt i det Røde. 



Findested. 

 Station 295. Mange Exemplarer. 



Artskarakter. 



Zoanthodemet uden Stamme. Basaldelen membranøst 

 udbrcdt i større og mindre Udstrækning over Stilken af 

 Bathycrinus Carpenteri, Dan. & Kor. Fra Basaldelen reiser 

 Polyperne med deres Celler sig dels i Grupper, dels enkelt- 

 vis. I Grupperne sidde Polyperne tæt sammen og ligne 



few approach in form to the bistellate, whilst others approach 

 the fusiform; they are all spicate, and measure from 0.108 

 — 0.156""" in length, and from 0.048— 0.064'"'" in breadth 

 (figs. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35). The subclavates are beset 

 with broad leaves which are spicate in the margin : they 

 measure 0.176""" in length, and 0.048""" in breadth above 

 (fig. 36). The few quadruplets have, partly, the crucitorm, 

 or they, partly. approach in form to the sand-glass; the 

 cruciform ones are beset with leaves, and measure 0.132"'"' 

 in length, and their transversal ann. which measures 0.1 00 mm 

 in length (fig. 37), has its extremities somewhat indented. 

 The sand-glass formed ones are beset with papillæ, and at 

 the one extremity measure 0.072'""'. and at the other extre- 

 mity 0.084""" in breadth; at the middle they measure 0.040 ram 

 in breadth (fig. 38). 



Upon the polyp-body, fusees and subclavates are the 

 most frequent spicular fonns; cylinders and clavates are more 

 rare, and quadruplets very rare. The fusees are spicate, 

 and have, partly. blunted. partly, acuminated extremities : 

 they measure from 0.188 — 0.196""" in length, and from 

 0.024—0.028'""- in breadth (fig. 39. 40). The subclavates 

 are sparmgly beset with spikes, and measure 0.184""" in 

 length, and 0.032""" in breadth above (fig. 41). The cylin- 

 ders are more or less spicate; a few of them are particularly 

 long, and are richly furnished with dentated leaves; they 

 measure from 0.128—0.292""" in length, and from 0.032— 

 0.052""" in breadth (Hgs. 42. 43. 44). The clavates are small, 

 and are beset with leaves; they measure 0.080""" in length, 

 and 0.036""" in breadth above (fig. 45). The quadruplet is 

 of cruciform, and is beset with spikes; it measures 0.256""" 

 in length, and lias an almost rudimentary transversal arm 

 which measures 0.O72 7 ""' (fig. 46). 



Upon the gullet-tube, fusees and subclavates are the 

 spicular forms most frcquently met with. The fusees have 

 acuminated extremities: they are spicate, and measure 0.132'"*" 

 in length. and 0.032""" in breadth (fig. 47). The subclav- 

 ates are foliated, and sometimes they are a little curved; 

 they measure 0.140""" in length. and 0.044"*"' in breadth 

 above (figs. 48. 49). 



Colour. 

 Yellow, shading faintly towards red. 



Habitat. 

 Station No. 295. Numerous specimens. 



Speeifie characteristics. 



The Zoanthodein has no stem. The basal part is 

 membranaceously extended, for a greater or smaller extent, 

 over the stalk of Bathycrinus carpenteri Dan. & Kor. The 

 polyps, with their cells, rise up from the basal part, partly 

 in groups, and partly singly. ln the groups, the polyps
