* iEquorea albida A. Ag. Spherosome slightly 

 concave near the abactinal pole, diminishing very 

 gradually in thickness towards the circular tube. 

 Chymiferous tubes exceedingly numerous, extending 

 in a regular curve from the circular tube to the 

 digestive cavity, the diameter of which is about 

 one third the diameter of the disk. Narrow linear 

 ovaries extending along the whole length of the 

 tubes. Marginal tentacles numerous, three to four 

 between every two chymiferous tubes. No jaromi- 

 nent swelling at the base of the tentacles, which 

 taper gradually from the circular tube to their ex- 

 tremity ; large patches of lasso-cells scattered irregu- 

 larly over the surface ; two marginal capsules for 

 every large tentacle, with from three to four gran- 

 ules clustered in the centre of each. The spurs 

 are placed at the base of the large tentacles. Ratio 

 of actinal to polar diameter as two to one and one 

 half. Actinal diameter two and one half inches.
