Campanularia Breviscyphya, Sars (1), Agassiz (2) describes it as 

 Clythia poteriura. 



In the variety Makrogona — all Australian specimens belong to 

 it — the Gonophors are nearly as high as the Hydrocaulus of the 

 Trophosome, and 8-10 times as large as the Hydrotheca. 



Medusoid buds are produced in the Gonophor, which do not 

 become free, in fact they do not possess a properly developed 

 Umbrella at the time when the sexual products are matured. 

 Judging from Hincks's (3) figure, the European Campanulina 

 caliculata produces similar Medusoid buds, and I therefore do not 

 hesitate to place this species in this family. It appears, as I have 

 often taken occasion to mention, extremely likely, that many other 

 species will wander from the Hydropolypinae to this Subordo, so 

 particularly the Genus Sertularia.
