much more numerous than the distal, there being 40-50 proximal and 

 only about 20 distal. 



Gonosome. — Gonophores borne on several long, densely-crowded 

 racemes attached by slender peduncles; each gonophore is provided 

 with 3 or 4 short tentacles that may be almost as long as the gonophore 

 itself. 



Color. — Hydranths and gonophores light pink with the spadix 

 darker, stems whitish. 



Distribution. — Port Renfrew (Fraser); off Matia I., off Brown I., 

 Friday Harbor. 



In the specimens obtained in no instance were the gonophore 

 racemes so pendulous as shown in Nutting's figure. It may be that 

 they were not mature. Nutting says nothing about this in his des- 

 cription and perhaps his drawing shows only a special instance. 

 Since he has shown it so, however, I have thought it advisable to re- 

 produce his drawing instead of giving a figure of one of my own speci- 

 mens. Taken with these remarks it will not be misleading in any case.

Trophosome. — Stems seldom branched, growing in clusters; much 

 the largest species of these here reported (Hincks says it may reach a 

 height of 12 inches) and the perisarc is heavier than in any of the other 

 species; the stem may be twisted at the base but there are no distinct 

 annulations; the proximal tentacles are long, slender and numerous, up 

 to 40, but the distal are even more numerous. 



Gonosome. — Gonophores in racemes but not such long ones as in 

 T. harrimani; gonophores devoid of tentacular processes. 



Color. — Stem horn color; hydranths and spadices of gonophores 

 deep red; remainder of gonophore much lighter; tentacles almost white. 



Distribution. — Alert Bay, off Waldron I., off Brown I. 



The specimens from Alert Bay were young and small, those from 

 Friday Harbor were larger. The largest specimen was not complete 

 but the part obtained was 10 cm. long. Specimens are too large to 

 draw with the usual magnification.
