— 283 — 
inferior (Fig. 9 B and C) of almost the same oblong — cordate 
shape, with a rather deep sinus in the end turned outwards, deepest 
in the corona superior. Corona superior has two hair-scars one 
behind the other. 
Rather a large number of gametangia (about 200) were found 
in the rays of one of the specimens; they were about 60, broad, 
but I may mention that the plant was yet quite immature; the 
calcareous massula in which the gametangia ought to be embedded 
I was unable to see in this specimen. 
This species was found: St. Croix, at Longpoint most probably 
in shallow water; St. Thomas, the lagoon of Bovoni in shallow 
water; St. Jan, off Cruzbay in about 30 meters depth (only one 
specimen found), and off America Hill in about 16 meters depth 
(only two specimens found).
