Family CAMPANULINID^. 



Trophosome. Colonies branched or unbranched. Hydrothecae 

 borne on pedicels, tubular, ending in an operculum composed of 

 several converging segments or triangular flaps. Hydranth with a 

 conical proboscis. 



Gonosome. Gonangia producing free medusae or planulae. 



CAMPANULINA. 



Trophosome. Hydrothecae thin-walled, the upper portion cleft so 

 as to produce very long and slender teeth which form an operculum by 

 the convergence of their free ends. 



Gonosome. Gonangia producing bell-shaped medusae, with four 

 radial canals, two or four marginal tentacles, and eight lithocysts. 



CAMPANULINA RUGOSA sp. nov. 

 (Plate xxn, figs, i, 2.) 



Trophosome. Colony attaining a height of about YI inch. Stem 

 irregularly branched ; branches tending to an alternate arrangement, 

 straggling, geniculate ; stem and branches strongly and regularly annu- 

 lated throughout. Pedicels very short, with three to six annulations. 

 Hydrothecae ovoid-oblong, the distal third being composed of the oper- 

 culum consisting of ten or twelve segments. The hydranths have about 

 sixteen tentacles. 



Gonosome. Gonangia in axils of the pedicels and branches, some- 

 times aggregated on certain branches to the exclusion of hydrothecae. 

 They are oblong-ovoid in shape and somewhat flattened on their distal 

 ends. Each gonangium contains a single medusa when mature. 



Distribution. Juneau, Alaska (Harriman Exped.). The speci- 

 mens were found growing on Obelia. 



CALYCELLA. 



Trophosome. Stem a creeping rootstock sending forth short an- 

 nulated pedicels. Hydrothecae tubular, thick-walled, with opercula 

 that are distinct from the hydrothecal teeth, and composed of several tri- 

 angular segments. 



Gonosome. Gonangia borne on the rootstock, and, when mature, 

 bearing acrocysts. 



CALYCELLA SYRINGA (Linn.). 



Sertularia syringa LINN., Systema Naturae, Ed. xn, Tom. I, Pars n, p, 

 1311, 1767.
