THUIARIA COEI sp. nov. 

 (Plate XXVI, figs. 1-3.) 



Trophosome. — Colony consisting of a single flexuous stem giving 

 forth regularly alternate branches. Stem three inches high, and divided 

 into irregular internodes each bearing a branch and two hydrothecse on 

 one side and one hydrotheca on the other. Branches divided into 

 irregular internodes, each usually bearing several pairs of hydrothecse. 

 HydrothecEE subopposite, turgid basally, narrowing distally to a hori- 

 zontal aperture which is pointed on its outer side. An upward pro- 

 jecting point of chitine at the bottom of each hydrotheca. 



Gonosome. — Gonangia top-shaped, or obconical, with a pronounced 

 round collar and rather broad aperture. Proximal portion broadly cor- 

 rugated, and narrowing basally to a short curved pedicel. 



Distribution. — Dutch Harbor, Alaska (W. R. Coe, Harriman 

 Exped.). 



This is a verj' distinct species, and the top-shaped gonangia are 

 quite different from any others of the genus that I have seen.
