This species (Fig. 173) resembles closely the Eutima mira of 

 Charleston Harbor ; like it, it has only four long tentacles (with one 

 short cirrus on each side of the tentacle, Fig. 176), one opposite each 

 chymiferous tube, two large marginal capsules between each two ten- 



tacles (Fig. 174), arranged at equal distances round the marginal tube, 

 and a number of rudimentary tentacles which are never further devel- 

 oped. The gelatinous part of the disk, which projects in the proboscis 

 {g, Fig. 175), is shorter than in the Charleston species ; it does not 

 extend much more than the height of the bell beyond the level of the 

 veil ; the tentacles also are shorter, and have no swelling ; the diges-
