 tionally penetrate some way down into the abyssal. \Yithin the waters investigated, Campamdaria 

 I't'liibilix is one of the most common CamptmulariidtB\ it is but rarely found, however, out in the open 

 sea regions, which must probably be understood as standing in connection with its bathymetrical

 scattered occurrence round the British Isles and off the west coast of Norway.

Upright, stiffly built rhizocaulomes, from the numerous tubes of which the hydrotheca stalks 

 proceed, arranged approximately in wreaths. The stalks exhibit distinct rings, which are most pronoun- 

 ced near the origin, and nearer the hydrotheca; the stalk always terminates under the hydrotheca in 

 a ball-shaped joint; the middle of the stalk is generally smooth. The hydrotheca is about twice as
