Aglaismoides Eschscholtzii was found in an unusual great number of specimens (± 400) 

 of which one station only (Stat, i"]"]"^) produced about 220. 



They were more or less damaged by the preserving fluids and in only a few cases the 

 reproductive swimming-bells were preserved. The beautifully-shaped pentagonal prismatic bract 

 is shown in PI. Ill, figg- 28, 29, 30, 31. Huxley gives no very clear description of the bract, 

 but his figures (59 PI. IV, fig. 2) of this species show the difference between this Aglaismoides 

 Eschscholtzii and Aglaisma cuboidcs Lkt., very distinctlj'. When the bracts are placed in the 

 same position (compare PI. II, fig. 21 and PI. Ill, fig. 30) we see the difference between the 

 beautiful pentagonal shape of Aglaismoides and the quadrangular one in Aglaisma cuboidcs. 



There is no reason to believe our specimens different from those described by Huxley. 



Chun 88 tliinks that Aglaismoides Eschscholtzii constitutes the detached diphyozooids of 

 his new, small Adylid, Abylopsis qiiiticunx. He does not however say whether he ever saw 

 the development of one of the groups of appendages in Abylopsis into a definite Aglaismoides 

 Eschscholtzii. 



There were many inferior nectophores in Abylopsis qitinciiiix among the Siboga material, 

 the hydroecial canal of which might have contained any distinct young cormidia, showing the 

 structure of an Aglaismoides. This however was not the case. 



We add some sketches (PI. Ill, figg. 28 — 31) of Aglaismoides Eschscholtzii to show the 

 difference with Abyla pentagona?, eudoxids, the well-known Aglaisma aiboides Lkt.
