breadth. The 4 wide sub-genital ostia about as broad as the 

 strong and free pillars between them. Brachial disk about as 

 broad as the radius of the Umbrella. 



Size : Breadth of Umbrella, 80 mm. Height of Umbrella, 

 30 mm. Octogenesis unknown. 



Locality : South Pacific Ocean, near New Zealand. Smith. 



Genus. Versura. 



"Versuridoe with 8 pinnate or trichotome branched mouth-arms, 



the upper part of the arm continues to the under adradial main 



branch of the under arm as far as its distal end. Numerous 



club-shaped vesicles between the branchial frills. Mouth cross 



with 4 rays, with perradial forked suctorial crisps, without central

Umbrella quite flat, scutiform, with continuous margin, 8 

 slight ocular incisions, and 112 marginal flaps which coalesce (in 

 each Octant 12 narrow, rectangular velar flaps, between 2 rudi- 

 mentary ocular-flaps which are quite joined). Sub-genital-ostia 

 twice as broad as the pillars between. Arms a little shorter than 

 the radius of the Umbrella, pinnate nearly hand-shaped, flat, spread 

 out, as long as broad. 



Size: Breadth of Umbrella, 60 mm. Height of Umbrella, 

 20 mm. Ontogenesis unknown. 



Locality : Sunda Sea, Java, Cherebon, Andrda. 



Species. Verstira pinnata. 



Haeckel, System der Medusen, 607. 



Umbi'ella, flat, orbicular, with 8 deep ocular incisions and 144 

 marginal flaps which coalesce, (in each Octant 16 quadratic velar 

 flaps between two small triangular ocular flaps). Sub-genital-ostia 

 as broad as the pillars between. Arms a little longer than the 

 radius of the Umbrella, pinnate flat, spread out twice as long as 

 broad.
