HYDROIDA II 



long as broad, cylindrical, with a curved basal part tapering sharply towards the stalk. The hydro- 

 theca is circular in transverse section near the aperture; the opening margin is furnished with ten to 

 fourteen low, rounded teeth. The basal cavity of the hydrotheca is small; the limit between this and 

 the large main chamber is formed by a low, but often fairly narrow and sharply defined ring-shaped 

 inner thickening of the wall. 



The gonothecae proceed from the tubes of the rhizocaulome, and are attached to the same by 

 an almost rudimentary stalk. They are bottle-shaped, with a broadly rounded basal part, and a short, 

 rather narrow, tubulous neck, as a rule curved or somewhat asymmetrical.
