THE HYDROIDS I7I 



CAMPANULARIA. 



Trophosome. — Colony unbranched or regularly branched ; stem 

 simple or fascicled ; hydrothecae campanulate, never completely ses- 

 sile nor with operculum. 



Gonosome. — Gonophores producing planulae without the interven- 

 tion of meduste,

CAMPANULARIA RITTERI sp. nov. , 

 (Plate XVII, fig. 5.) 



Trophosome. — Colony usually consisting of unbranched pedicels 

 growing directly from a creeping rootstock. Pedicels long and 

 slender, usually witli a single distinct annulation at the distal end just 

 below the hydrotheca and about three less distinct ones at the proximal 

 end, the middle portion not being annulated. Hydrothecse cylindrical, 

 large, delicate in structure and with a perfectly even rim. 



Go7ioso9ne. — Unknown. 



Distribution. — Juneau, Alaska, 20 fathoms. Collected by Prof. 

 Wm. E. Ritter to whose efforts the fine series of Hydroids here dis- 

 cussed is so largely due, and for whom this species is named.
