52G REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [14] 



from the Atlantic,* C. campanuJaia, Esch. has ten gastral pouches, 

 G. oligotis, Hreckel, has sixteen. Of Mediterranean Cimince, C. vitreaj 

 Gegenbaur, has ten to twelve gastral pouches; C. lativentris, Gegenbaur, 

 the same number; and C.prolifera, Gegenbaur, sixteen. G. rJwdodactyla, 

 Hreckel, has ten to fifteen gastral pouches, and G. rubiginosa ten to 

 twelve. A species from the Pacific Ocean, G. mucilaginosa, Blain., and 

 one from the Indian Ocean, C. rnultifida, ETa'ckel, have respectively 

 twenty to twenty-four and thirty-two stomach pouches. These latter, 

 however, appear to differ from my Gunina in the length of the tenta- 

 cles and other structural details. Our specimens therefore may be 

 looked upon either as of a new species or more mature adults of spe- 

 cies already described. 



These specimens were at first referred to Soltnissus in a provisional 

 examination of them. The structures which I have interpreted as the 

 festoon canals would throw them out of the genus Solmissus. S.fdberi 

 Hseckel, has twenty -four gastral pouches, and 8. bleekii thirty-two. 



Subfamily Tamoyid^e, Hreckel. 



Carybdea (Tamoya) haplonema, F. Muller. 

 Specimens of this medusa were taken at the following localities: 



Claus t considers Tamoya the old genus, Carybdea, Peron et Leseuer. 

 Hseckelf describes a medusa, which the above specimens closely re- 

 semble as Carybdea pyramis, Hseckel. The latter author separates 

 Carybdea from Tamoya. My specimens resemble more closely his 

 Carybdea than Tamoya. They are larger than C. pyramis and smaller 

 than T. haplonema. If the two genera are separated our medusae more 

 closely resembles Carybdea, but I have followed (Mans in regarding 

 them as the same. This medusa appears to be the same as that which 

 is mentioned as Tamoya in the collection of 1883-'84.§ 



* Cunina discoides, Fewkes, was probably described from an immature specimen. No 

 gastral poucbes were observed, and it is therefore probable that it belongs to the 

 Solmaridae. It is possibly the young of Sohnaris coronantha, Hseckel.
