524 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [12] 
S. apicata (Amphinema apicatum, Heckel); the other, the Dinematella, 
Fewkes. Both of these have in the adult condition an apical promi- 
nence on the bell, which in the former is without internal cavity, and in 
the latter with a cavity. Stomatoca periphylla, Haeckel, is destitute of 
this prominence, is much larger, and the stomach is situated on an espe- 
cial ‘“ Magenstiel.” In this species the mouth lappets, stomach with 
sexual bodies, lie outside the bell cavity. The specimens agree substan- 
tially with Heckel’s description, except that the tentacular bulbs at 
the base of the tentacles are more swollen than he represents in his 
figure (PI. iv, fig. 10, Das System der Medusen). It is probable from the 
studies of Hincks, Allman, and Heckel that the young of this species 
has for its hydroid a genus related to or identical with Perigonimus. 
This notice is the first record of S. periphyila, from the Western Atlantic.

Family CUNANTHIDA, Heeckel. 
CunINA ? 
Among the Narcomeduse there are a few specimens of a Cunina-like 
medusa which is temporarily referred to this genus. The specimen 
was so mutilated that it was impossible to tell whether it was a Cunina 
er a Solmaris, although from the character of the festoon canal and the 
existence of gastral pouches, it seems more closely allied to the former 
genus. It was not possible to see the gastral pouches, one of the main 
characters of the Cuninide, in several of the specimens, although they 
are well seen in one of the same.
