The arm disk is half as wide as the bell, and the subgenital porticus is 
unitary. The external faces of the perradial columns have each a slight con- 
cavity, not a deep niche, as in Lychnorhiza bartschi. The subgenital ostia are 
twice as wide as the perradial columns and each is arched over by a flap-like 
projection. There are also 4 interradial papille upon the subumbrella, one 
opposite the opening of each subgenital ostium. 
The 8 mouth-arms are not quite two-thirds as long as the bell-diameter, 
the upper arms being not quite half as long as the lower arms. Each mouth-

gastro-vascular canals are shown in one-third of the subumbrella. 5 arms are removed, 
being cut off close to the arm-disk. 
arm terminates in a single, slender, tapering, thread-like filament about 50 mm. 
long. There are also a few shorter, more slender, filaments which arise from 
the sides of the mouth-arms between the mouths. There are no filaments 
upon the arm-disk. 
There is a wide zone of circular muscles in the subumbrella, and these are 
only partially interrupted in the 8 rhopalar radii. 
The central stomach gives rise to 16 radial-canals, 8 of which extend to the 
rhopalia and the 8 others end in the ring-canal. On its inner side the ring- 
canal gives rise to 164 radial-vessels, which do not reach the margin of 
the stomach but anastomose one with another and with the 16 chief radial-
