They are colourless. Perhaps they are identical with the glands described i88S by Bedot. Those 

 in Agaliua Clatisi [StepJianopsis Clausi Bedot 95) were coloured. Of course the pink colour may 

 have disappeared after preservation. These glands occur only in the anterior part of the bract. 

 The difference between these and the "petites glandes colorees" of Bedot is the agglomeration 

 of "corps spheriques" around these glands, which were lacking in our specimen. 



Besides the many buds of young appendages, we could distinguish three mature siphons 

 with their tentilla type III and IV, a great many palpons, and near the base of each siphon 

 female and male reproductive organs of which the latter are very well developed (PI. XIII, 

 fig. 103). Their exact position on the stem could not be made out. 



It is to be noted that all the appendages (except part of the bracts) are situated on one 

 side, the ventral side of the stem. It is therefore very probable that the position of the corm 

 in the water is a horizontal one, and that when swimming the appendages hang down into the 

 water, and the pneumatophore has an upright position making a right angle with the nectosome. 



In our sketch one of the siphons .situated near the most proximal androphores is not 

 sketched as it became detached whilst we were examining the specimen. The presence of such 

 large androphores shows that the specimen is an older one, than any of the above-mentioned. 



Cat. I Si (PI- XI\^ fig. 105) gives us a very clear idea of the remarkable contorsions 

 of the stem in Crystallomia. Of the five mature siphons none lies exactly ventral, three of 

 them are more lateral to the left, two more lateral to the right. 



Notwithstanding the considerable number of appendages, no reproductive organs could be 

 found in this specimen. They are assuredly developed, but so small that they easily get covered 

 over by palpons, bracts, etc. The fourth, fifth and .sixth siphons only show tentilla type IV. We 

 suppose that the tentacle with tentilla III was lost accidentally. 



The last specimen Cat. 2^ F has an elongated nectosome and only one mature siphon 

 with big tentilla IV. Judging from the length of the nectosome we suppose that several cormidia 

 have become detached. 



Finally we include under Crystallomia spec, group I a detached cormidium, which we 

 will discuss later on.
