lO ZOANTHARIA 



c. The large nematocysts of the filaments and of the capitular region have the same 

 structure, narrow and long (4 times longer than broad), unlike those in the other parts 



of the body wall lindahli. 



cc. The large nematocysts of the filaments are of moderate length (length being at most as 

 3'5 times breadth). The capsules of the capitular region, if any, resemble those in the 



other parts of the body wall crdmanni. 



bb. Polyps and colonies attached. The coenenchyme more or less developed. 



d. The large nematocysts of the filaments are narrow and long (the lengtli being more 

 than 4 times the breadth). The capsules of the capitular region of the same kind, 



but unlike those in the other parts of the body wall danielsseni. 



dd. The large capsules of the filaments are of moderate length (the proportion between 

 lengtli and breadth being at most as 3-5 to i). The capsules of the capitular region, 

 if any, resemble those in the other j^arts of the body wall, 

 e. The sphincter comparatively feeble, number of mesenteries about 32. The large 



nematocysts of the filament 22 — 31 fi long, 12 n broad roscus. 



ee. Sphincter strong 



f. The large nematocysts of the filaments 34—41 pt long and 10 — 12 y. broad. 

 Cell-islets and lacunae often found at the base of the insertion of the mesen- 

 teries, number of mesenteries 38 — 42 bcercnislandicus. 



ff. The large nematocysts of the filaments 26—36/^ long and 10 — 12 /z broad. Cells 

 numerou.s, cell-islets more scarce in the mesogloea of the body wall, but not present 

 near the base of the mesenteries; number of mesenteries 36—52 .... glacialis. 

 fff. The large nematocysts of the filaments 26 — 29/i long and lo/^ broad. Numerous 

 oval or round and separate, large cell-islets, further, large lacunae containing 

 cells in the mesogloea of the body-wall; number of mesenteries about 36. . korciii.
