ACTINIARIA J2I 



same appearance as in H. duodecimcirrata. Perfect mesenteries 12, imperfect 12. Longitudinal pennons of 

 the perfect mesenteries very strong, with about 20—30 larger folds in the upper part of the reproductive 

 region. The large folds have numerous secondary folds. Parietal muscles and the imperfect mesenteries of 

 about equal appearance, mostly comparatively strong, in transverse-sections elongated with low, but rather 

 numerous folds. Expansion of the parietal muscles on the column considerable. All perfect mesenteries fertile.

 It is not necessary to describe this species in detail as I have before (1893) given a summarj- of its 

 anatomy. To tliis description I will, however, add some observations of the nematocysts, the spirocysts, 

 and the filaments. The size of the nematocysts and spirocysts in the different parts of the body is shown 

 on the following table, n nematocysts, sp spirocysts. 



Concerning the structure of the filaments the appearance of the intermediate streaks, and probably 

 also that of the ciliated streaks, somewhat recalls the Zoanthids. The ciUated streaks are, as we know, trans- 

 versely sulcated in the Actiniaria, as well as in the Zoanthids. The ridges between the furrows are not sup- 

 ported by mesogloeal oft'-shoots, but by thickenings of the epithelium. In the Zoantliids the furrows and the 

 ridges of the ciUated tract pass into similar furrows and ridges on the intermediate streaks, so that also these 

 latter become transversely sulcated. The ridges of the intermediate streaks are supported by mesogloeal 

 off-shoots, and a narrow band of the ciliated streaks covers the bottom of the furrows of the intermediate
