A fragment 8 cm. in length by 3 cm. in breadth. 

 Dr. Versluys has been good enough to confirm this identification. 

 Locality. Saya de Malha (C 1), 150 fms.

Versluys has shown that Calypterlnus allmani of Wright and Studer should be trans- 

 ferred to the genus Stachyodes. The following points are noteworthy in regard to our 

 specimen : — 



(a) The basal part is very substantial and attains a diameter of 7'5 mm. From 

 this base numerous branches arise, 3-4 mm. in basal diameter and reaching 

 a length of about 16 cm. 

 (6) On some of the branches the polyps have their mouths turned upioards. 

 (c) There are numerous large ova enclosed in distinct envelopes. 

 Locality. Saya de Malha (C 20), 300-500 fms. 



An imperfect specimen (D 2) from Providence, 744 fms., probably belongs to this 

 species. 



Previously recorded from Fiji l&laxiils {Wright and Studer, l^S^) ; Indian Ocean, 

 8° 36' 15" N., 81^20' 30" E., 542 fms. [Thomson and Henderson, 1906). Roule (1896) 

 records S. allmani from the Bay of Biscay, but Versluys (1906) considers the identi- 

 fication doubtful.
