HYDROIDA II 

 44 



Upright colonies with polysiphonic, irregularly ramified main stem, and regular singly or 

 doubly pinnate branches; the outer, minor branchlets regularly alternating. The hydrothecse small, with 

 expanded margin, especially on the adcauline side; the basal cavity is large, somewhat asymmetrically 

 developed, with a markedly convex adcauline wall and a straight or slightly concave abcauline wall, 

 inserted asymmetrically on a laterally placed apophyse at the distal end of the internodium. The 

 branches are divided into internodia, which often exhibit one or two basal constrictions. 



The gonothecte proceed from the tubes of the stem. They are large, somewhat flattened, and 

 furnished with spiny longitudinal ribs on the flat side.

Hatccium iHuricatiim^ with its asymmetrically developed hydrotheca stalks or basal cavities 

 and its slenderer form, stands out distinctly from the remainder of the northern Haleciiivi species, and 

 is not easily confused. It is as a rule finely built, but may occur in large colonies with highly rami- 

 fied polysiphonic main stein; the ramification then mostly proceeds in a main plane, but can also be 

 altogether irregular, so that the colonies assume a quite bushy appearance. The margin of the hydro-
