PLATE XXXVIII. 

 Sphenoides obeliscus, n. sp. (p. 116). 



(Monogastric generation or free Eudoxia of Basda obeliscus, PL XXX VII.) 



Fig. 12. A complete Eudoxia, attached to the stem (a) of the polygastric generation, 

 Bassia obeliscus, seen from the left side. The bilateral bract (u) is beset 

 with scattered groups of cnidocysts, and exhibits twelve prominent pyra- 

 midal teeth (characters v^-vP as in fig. 13). Its large phyllocyst contains 

 an apical oleocyst (co). The siphon (s) is placed between the dorsal tentacle 

 (t) and the ventral male gonophore (h). The numerous tentilla (tk) are 

 partly expanded (below), partly coiled up (above).

 edges and the following names : — u\ odd ventral apical tooth ; ir, u 3 , ventro- 

 lateral apical teeth ; u*, u B , ventro-lateral basal teeth ; u K , u' , dorso-lateral 

 basal teeth ; u s , odd dorsal basal tooth ; u 9 , odd dorsal cristal tooth ; u w , u 11 ,

 its subuml irellar wall ; be, phyllocyst ; cd, its basal crecum (dorsal canal) ; co, 

 oleocyst.
