250 REPORT ON TH" PENNATULIDA. 



sections it is impossible to make out all its characters. It, however, 

 does not agree with either of the species already described, and is 

 probably an additional species of this curious genus, and one which we 

 name provisionally Lamippe Pcnnatulce. 



Concerning the relations of Lamippe to the polype it inliabits, we 

 were in doubt when describing Pennatula whether to regard it as a 

 parasite or as an animal swallowed as food : it would appear now, 

 from the additional evidence that has since come into our hands, that 

 it is a true parasite. We have already mentioned that the eggs de- 

 velop up to a certain stage within the polype, and Joliet has shown 

 that they hatch in this situation and then escape as free swimming 

 Nau2)Ui. We have found numerous empty egg-shells, but have seen 

 no free Ndiqylii.

Young specimens of this, well cooked, are not be despised, as I 

 can testify from actual trial. But everything depends upon the 

 way in which they are cooked.
