Pleurobrachia Bachei A. Agass. ; in Agassiz's Cont. Nat. Hist. U. S., HI. p. 294. 18G0. 



Pleurobrachia Bachei A. Agass. resembles Pleurobrachia rhododac- 

 tyla in its general appearance, having about the same size ; the color 

 of the spherosome and of the tentacles being nearly the same. The 

 opening of the tentacular sac, however, is at a greater distance from 

 the pole, and the tentacles come out more from the side of the sijhero- 

 some than in Pleurobrachia rhododactyla. The coeliac cavity is also 

 shorter, the funnel is longer, and the actinal portion of the sac shorter. 

 The branches leading from the digestive cavity to the chyniiferous 

 tubes are much longer and more slender, the junction being above the 

 opening of the tentacular sac, while in Pleurobrachia rhododactyla 

 it is below, nearer the actinal pole. The greatest swelling of the 

 spherosome is nearer the actmal pole, not in the middle of the actinal 

 axis. 



Found in the Gulf of Georgia, and entrance of Admiralty Inlet, W. T., 

 during the whole Summer of 1859, from May to September.
