preservation. The position of the hydroecium is also characteristic of the species. It is situated 

 near the base of the nectosac, so the hydroecial cavity is small. Its basal ridges are concave. 

 The implantation of the stem is a little higher than in f. i. Diphyes contorta. 



The somatocyst has in our sketch of Cat. So H.I. (PI. VIII, fig. 65) a verv irregular 

 aspect. It is generally less broad, more cylindrical, but never longer or more pointed. It and 

 the hydroecial cavity generally measure half of the length of the whole nectophore. 



With the exception of one specimen all the appendages in others were badly preserved. 

 We cannot however give any description of a group of appendages through the general state 

 of preservation.

Of the 272 superior nectophores of this new species the average length and breadth are 

 7 mm. and \^\, mm. There are no inferior nectophores. They had all dropped off, and we found 

 in many specimens a well-developed bud for the future inferior nectophore. 



The nectophores have a decidedly rounded appearance owing to the slight development 

 of the gelatinous substance around the large nectosac. There are five ridges, clearly defined 

 serrated near the base as in Diphyopsis diphyoides\ their course is convex, moreover the two
