as in the Siboga expedition tliere were about iio specimens which had the greatest resemblance 

 with Chun's species. The only difterence was the shape of the somatocyst and the shape of 

 the top of the nectophore which in our type was more pointed. But this latter detail seems to 

 be of less importance. 



We found in all mediterranean Diphyes subtilis that the somatocyst is rounded, club- 

 shaped with a long thread stalk. Even when \)V\i in formaldehyd this shape did not change, it 

 is exactly as Chun figures it (85 fig. 3). 



In our specimens the somatocyst is of a cylindrical shape, sometimes only '/,. of the 

 whole length of the nectophore, sometimes longer (Y^, 7»)- ^^ '^ always tubular, only gets 

 narrower near the base, near the implantation of the stem. 



So we think our specimens of the tropical Pacific different from Chun's mediterranean 

 specimens and we use the specific denomination "" siibtiloides" to denote the close connection 

 between the two. The length of the superior nectophores is 5 — 6 mm., the breadth 2 — 2'\„ mm. 



The superior nectophore is very fragile, the gelatinous substance is inconsistent. The 

 nectosac is a long cylindrical tube, the top reaches very far proximally into the gelatinous 

 substance ; on the whole the nectosac is too much developed for the fragility of the nectophore. 

 Of the course of the canals nothing could be seen. There are five ridges, a proximal dorsal 

 odd one, a pair ot lateral ones, and a pair of ventral ones, forming the ventral facet of the 

 nectophore. None of these are prominent, nor serrated; the whole nectophore is smooth and 

 flabby. We have already spoken of the somatocyst. 



The stem and appendages were incompletely preserved; in one of the specimens a bud, 

 the future inferior nectophore was to be seen. As to the development of siphon, tentilla, bract, 

 gonophore, special nectophore or no special nectophore, nothing was clearly enough preserved 

 for further investigation.
