annulated throughout. Hydrothecse rather deeply campanulate, aperlure entire, llvilrantli with 

 about 24 very slender tentacles.

 and broad. 



Dixlriliiitiun. f have several fragmentary specimens from Woods Hole region that agree very 

 closely with Mincks's figures. Comparing these, however, with some of the terminal branches of 

 ('. iimjilior/i, I find them to agree closely witli these also. Verrill reports the species from Casco Bay. 

 I do not know whether his material embraced the gonosome or not.

Trophngtiine. Colony usually consisting of a single slightly flexuose stem, but sometimes it gives 

 off long branches similar in every way to the main stem, which sends off alternate pedicels of varying 

 length, but usually fully annulated and considerably 

 shorter than the hydrothecie. Hydrothecii 1 without 

 teeth, deeply campanulate, and with gracefully everted 

 margins.

 ing basally, with latero-tcrminal aperture from which 

 a short, curved tube projects into the gnmingial 

 cavity.

This beautiful species can be immediately identified when sexually mature. Otherwise the best 

 character is the elegant shape of the hydrothecw.

Trophosome. Colony usually in the form of a single flexuose stem giving off a series of regularly 

 alternating pedicels. Stem with three or four well-marked annulations above the origin of each pedicel; 

 pedicels apparently continuous with the internodes from which they spring, and with which they curve 

 continuously, rather large, completely annulated and diminishing gradually in size toward the distal 

 end. Hydrothecse campanulate, not very deep, with even rims. Hydranths with a web between the 

 bases of the tentacles.
