stretched straight and not bent out. The longest (medial) | as 

 long as the flap. In eveiy flap 30-40 cul-de-sac shaped terminal 

 branches. Tentacles cylindrical, conic at their ends, nearly twice 

 as long as the flap. 8 Gonads wing-shaped. Both wings of each 

 pair flapped, doubly broken in the inter-radius approaching nearly 

 to touch. 



Size : Breadth of Umbrella, 20 mm. Height of Umbrella, 

 1 7 mm. Ontogenesis unknown. 



Locality : West Coast of the Tropic Africa, Angola, Congo. 

 Briiggemann. 



Genus. Limtche. 



Linergidae with 8 adradial Gonads of the same shape, which 

 are placed in the same intervals, and are approximated in pairs to 

 4 interradial groups. There is a threefold circle of Subumbrella- 

 pouches (scrota'?), 16 larger proximal, 32 middling and 64 (or 

 more) smaller distal. 



Species. Linuche Lamarckii.

Umbrella nearly square with horizontal vortex and vertical 

 side-walls, as high as broad. Marginal flaps oval, pointed, nearly 

 twice as long as broad. Flap canal repeatedly dichotomous 

 branched, with straight branches, the longest (medial) |- as long as 

 the flap ; in each flap 20-30 cul-de-sac shaped terminal branchlets, 

 Tentacles rod-shaped scarcely as long as the flaps. 8 Gonads 

 globular, distributed at equal intervals. 



Size : Breath of Umbrella, 20 mm. Height of Umbrella,

Locality : Atlantic Ocean, under the Equator. Smith. 



Family. Pelagidw. 



With a simple cross-shaped mouth and 4 folded perradiai 

 moutharms, with simple broad radial-pouches, without branched 

 distal canals, without ring-canal. Eight marginal bodies, 16 — 32 

 or more marginal flaps.
