162 ZOOPHYTES. 



paulo arcuata, 1" longa, basi " et scepe dilatata; disco subluteo, 4- 

 rubro-vittato, oblongo-elliptico, ore valde elongato, roseo; tentaculis 

 longis, albidis, diaphanis. CoraUum extus viz striatum, lamellis non 

 exsertis, regularibus, incequalibus. 



Not budding, attached, subcuneiform, below somewhat distorted, 

 above a little arcuate, 1 inch in greatest breadth, base inch broad 

 and often dilated ; disk yellowish, with 4 transverse red bands, 

 oblong-elliptic, mouth very long and rose-coloured ; tentacles long, 

 whitish, diaphanous. Corallum having the exterior faintly striate ; 

 lamellae not exsert, regular, unequal. 



Cook's Straits, New Zealand, in twenty -four fathoms. Quoy and 

 Gaymard. 



This species resembles the preceding ; but the corallum is attached 

 and less regular in outline below, often being distorted and curved a 

 little to one side, instead of evenly symmetrical. The lamellae are 

 described as alternately large and small. The figure of the animal, 

 by Quoy and Gaymard, must be incorrect, as it represents but a single 

 row of tentacles.
