BRITISH ZOOPHYTES. 91 



Campanularia or Ohelia, but the structure and history 

 of the sexual zooids, which are medusiform but never 

 become free, and therefore combine to some extent the 

 characters of the free and fixed forms." — Hincks. 



2. G. GRACILIS, 8ars. 

 Laomedea gracilis {8a7-s). 



Hab. : Connemara (Brady). Height about | in. 

 Stem filiform, giving off slender branchlets, each termi- 

 nating in a single calycle. Calycles deep and narrow, 

 with pointed denticles. Pedicels ringed below the 

 calycles and above their junction with the stem. 



3. G. (?) HTALINA, Hindis. 



Hab. : Shetland {Jeffreys). Height about 2 in. 



This is probably a deep-water species, and was de- 

 scribed by Mr. Hincks in the Annals of Nat, Hist, 

 xviii. (ord series), 297. It appears to be a graceful and 

 beautiful species. 



Genus VII. Schizocladium.* (o"Xi?i>, to divide, 

 KXaStop, a branchlet.) 



Stem rooted, branching, carrying besides the ramuli 

 bearing polypites, other branchlets (fissiparous appen- 

 dages) which spring from various parts of the stem 

 and are cylindrical, simple, and never support either 

 polypites or generative buds. Calycles inoperculate. 

 Gonosome unknown. — Allman. 



This genus was established by Prof. Allman (Q. J. 

 M. S., xi. 18) for a species discovered by him in Loch 

 Long. The peculiarity of that species is that, in 

 addition to the ordinary modes of reproduction, nume- 



* The Rev. Thos. Hincks, A. and M. of Nat. Hist. (4), x. 385, 

 i-ejects this genus on the ground that he has observed the same 

 mode of reproduction in C. neglecta. He considers Prof. Allman's 

 species to be probably an Obelia.
