 a distinct tendency to send off pedicels from the main stem in subopposite pairs. Stems, branches, 

 and pedicels exceedingly long and slender, with the annulations confined to the proximal portions, 

 except a few just below the hydrothecse. Hydrothecse very large, deeply campanulate,.with 12 to 14 

 exceedingly sharp, slender teeth, more acuminate than hrany other species in the region. Hydranth 

 with about 28 tentacles.

 slender, and annulated at the ends. Hydrotheoe deeply campanulate, almost tubular, with their 

 margins armed with 8 to 10 teeth which are bimucronate; that is, the summit of each tooth is crowned 

 with two minute denticles. 



Gonosome. Gonangia borne in the axils of the pedicels, oblong ovate, smooth, somewhat truncated 

 above. The mature gonangium often has a globular acrocyst on its summit. 



Distribution. la shallow water, on stones, shells, and other hydroids. Reported by Professor 

 Verrill from Casco Bay, Maine. I find it in my notes as occurring at Woods Hole, but fail to find 

 specimens. The figure is from a British specimen.
