The specimens represented in figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7 [hier Fig. 63, 64] are yellowish brown 

 in colour and bear reproductive organs. Notches of hydrothecae not deep, posterior tooth 

 absent, lateral nematophores attached to the hydrotheca and turned forward.s, mesial nemato- 

 phore remarkably long and projecting forwards and upwards, thus agreeing with Bale's variety 

 from Port Darwin. The metamorphosed gonothecal branches of this .species bear, unlike those 

 of Aglaophenia, one perfect hydrotheca at the base; the next Joint bears an imperfect 

 hydrotheca, from which projects a lenticular gonotheca; the remaining curved portion 

 bears only nematophores. 



Similarly as in Shima two varieties, a black one and a yellowish brown one, can be 

 obtained at Shishigahana, Sagami Sea. The specimens obtained in April bear reproductive 

 Organs. The smaller colonies may be only 10 mm high.' (Inaba 1892b.)
