The specimen in the British ]\Iuseum is rather flattened on 

 one of its sides ; but this appears to have arisen from its having 

 been pressed against the sides of the bottle when it was first 

 placed in spirits. The polypes are very \mcqually developed. 

 On one side near the base they apj)ear to be deficient, but, when 

 more closely examined, they are easily seen to be completely 

 retracted and closed over.
