 spines bent towards the blunt end, which often itself is 

 spinous too. The anchors are minute.

As Schmidt in '70 did not give any illustration with 

 the description of his Tenacia clathrata it is impossible to 

 identify it with another species. According to the enu- 

 meration of the spicules however , I should like to unite 

 N°. 8 and 9 under the name CI. frondiculata. As to the 

 enumerated spicules of the latter , I found these in Schmidt's 

 original specimen in the Joanneum in Graz.
