 Plate 9, Fig. 44 



Trophosome. — Stem slender, straight, unbranched, reaching a height 

 of 35 mm. Hydrothecae given off regularly, alternate, gradually get- 

 ting slightly closer together as they are farther from the base. Two, or 

 occasionally three, nodes between successive hydrothecae near the base, 

 but sometimes only one, just distal to the hydrotheca pedicel, in the 

 distal portion. Pedicels longer near the base, with several annulations 

 that look like nodes, shorter in the distal portion, with only one annu- 

 lation. Hydrotheca turbinate, large, over 1.0 mm. in length from the 

 base of the operculum to the base of the hydrotheca, 0.5 mm. wide at 

 the base of the operculum ; operculum of 8 segments, 0.4 mm. in length. 

 Hydranth with 14-15 tentacles. 



Gonosome. — Gonangia arising from the pedicel of the hydrotheca, 

 with a short pedicel, having one annulation ; slender, almost tubular, 

 but tapering slightly to the base; reaching slightly beyond the base of 

 the operculum of the corresponding hydrotheca; truncated at the distal 

 end. Six developing medusoids within the gonangium. 



Distribution. — Santa Elena Bay, 7-8 fathoms; of? Morro de Petat- 

 lan, 25 fathoms; off Tenacatita Point, 10 fathoms; Isabel Island, 10- 

 25 fathoms; off Thurloe Point, 30 fathoms.
