 longo (brevitate insigni), pinnulis apicern versus longis, basin versus 

 minimis, ibique longe distantibus, nee imbricatis, stipite basi bulboso

SUBFAMILY II. PAVONARIN^. 

 Polypis non retractilibus. 

 Polyps not retractile. 



GENUS V. PAVONARIA. CUVIER. 

 Pennatulidce, virgatce, secundce, polypis non retractilibus. 



Virgate Penuatulidse, having the polyps along one side of the stem, 

 and not retractile. 



The polyps of the Pavonariae are confined to a single side of the 

 stem, and cover it crowdedly. 



This genus was established by Cuvier, but afterwards restricted by 

 Blainville, to those in which the polyps were not retractile. There is 

 but a single species known, and this was arranged with the Funicu- 

 linse, by Lamarck and Lamouroux. 



PAVONARIA QUADRANGULARIS. (Pallas.} Blainville. 



P. elongata (2'), gracilis, polypis confertis, longitudinaliter 3-seriatis, et 

 in quincuncem dispositis.
