' Eutima limpida A. Ag. Gelatinous proboscis 

 not projecting more than the length of tlie diameter 

 of the bell below the level of the veil. Digestive 

 cavity long, terminating in a quadrangular flat disk, 

 which may be folded into four simple lips. Gen- 

 ital organs narrow, extending one third of tlieir 

 length along the proboscis, and the remaining two 

 thirds along the chymiferous tubes towards the 

 circular tube, which they do not reach. Two mar- 

 ginal capsules between every two chymiferous tubes, 

 and from twelve to thirteen granules, arranged in a 

 semicircle, in each. Walls of the four large tentacles 

 tapering gradually from circular tube ; lateral cirrlu 

 small, one on each side of the large tentacles ; rudi- 

 mentary tentacles numerous. Tentacles, digestive 

 cavity, and ovaries perfectly colorless. Polar diam- 

 eter half an inch ; actinal diameter one and one 

 eighth of an inch ; length of proboscis two inches. 

 — Nauslton, Buzzard's Bay (A. Agassiz). 



^ Eutima pyramidalis Ag. Spherosome hemi- 

 spherical ; base of the gelatinous proboscis very 



broad, tapering rapidly ; tlie digestive cavity is 

 short, terminating with four rounded leaflets with 

 scalloped edges. The four larger tentacles are 

 short, colorless. Polar diameter half an inch ; acti- 

 nal diameter seven eighths of an inch. — Key West, 

 Florida (Agassiz). 



^ Tlie genus Orythia is only known from the de- 

 scription of Peron and LeSueur, and the later figure 

 of Quoy and Gaimard, in the Voyage of the Uranie, 

 who represent the same species, with its tentacles. 

 Both are reproduced in DeBlainville's Actinologie. 



* The genus Phorcynia is founded upon decayed 

 specimens, probably belonging to this genus. 



^ Tlie genus Dianrea Lmlc. is worthless. It 

 embraces Medusie of at least eight diflferent families, 

 most of which had already been referred to separate 

 genera by Peron and LeSueur, before Lamarck 

 named it, and no one of which could be considered 

 as the type of a new genus. Later authors, who 

 have adopted the genus, have only made matters 

 worse by adding other heterogeneous species.
