much developed. The length of the superior nectophores varies between 5^0 and 10 mm., 

 of the inferior nectophores between 7 and 13 mm., one surpasses them all in length; it 

 measures 18 mm.

The length of the superior nectophores in the different specimens of Galeolaria biloba 

 is extremely varied; we find some from 4Y3 — 11 mm. length; the inferior nectophores measure 

 from 5 — 10 mm. They are all more or less damaged by preservation. With Sars' Diphyes biloba 

 we identify Gegenbaur's Diphyes Sarsii, though in S.\rs' specimens the gelatinous substance is 

 more developed than in Gegenbaur's Diphyes Sarsii. But we do not find this a characteristic 

 difference as in our specimens we found also some difference in the development of the gelatinous 

 substance. Otherwise both Sars' description and Gegenb.\ur's coincide absolutely with our material. 

 So we distinguished two different kinds of nectophores in them: 1° those whose gelatinous 

 substance is not well developed around the nectosac and whose somatocyst is tolerably large in 

 relation to the whole length of the nectophores and 2" those whose gelatinous substance is well 

 developed and whose somatocyst is comparatively small. In the first case we nearly always 

 found the remnants of a stem and appendages (PI. IX, fig. 75). Both kinds of nectophores show 

 the characteristic structure in the inferior part near the velum. 



On the dorsal side no teeth are developed, whilst ventrally on the proximal side we
