Wehrpolypen an den Vegetationsspitzen fehlen, keineswegs für alle 
Plumulariden zutreffend, indem sich einzelne Arten, besonders von 
Aglaophenia und Pentandra finden, bei denen stets Wehrthiere in der 
Entwicklung den Nährthieren voraus sind.i 
Die zahlreichen australischen Plumulariden vertheilen sich unter 
zwölf Gattungen wie folgt: 
Plumularia 28 
Antennularia 2 
Sciurella 1 
Acanthella 1 
Heteroplon t 
Aglaophema 23 
Pentandra 2 
Lytocarpus 1 
Diplocheilus 1 
Halicornaria 10 
Halicornopsis 1 
Azygoplon ii 
Es beläuft sich somit die Gesammtzahl der australischen Plumu- 
lariden auf 72 Arten und übertrifft somit die australische Plumula- 
riden-Fauna die eines jeden anderen Gebietes bei Weitem.
