There are specimens from 50 miles N.W. of Cape Mary 
Harmsworth which I think must be put to this species, although 
there are a variable number of spines. In the younger part of 
the zoarium there is usually but one spine, while in the older 
part there are sometimes as many as six. ‘The central spine in 
the zocecinm at a bifurcation may be wanting, though in other 
cases there are, besides the central one, two pairs of spines. There 
is no scutum. The lateral and suboral avicularia are both fairly 
constant. In some specimens there are generally six zocecia in 
an internode, in others ten 1s about the usual number. 
The most important character seems to be the position of the 
radicle chamber, which is inside the zocecium; whereas in 
S. gracilis, and in nearly all the other species, it is formed by a 
conical chamber outside the zocecial wall. These chambers are 
formed in all the zoccia, whether there is a radicle or not. 
Another very important character is that the articulation occurs 
beyond the distal end of the outer zocecium (fig. 8). Usually in 
Scrupocellaria, as in 8. scabra, S. gracitis, &c., the articulation is 
below the area of the outer zocecium (fig. 14). 
There are 15 tentacles. 
1t is unfortunate that Norman did not take the varietal name 
duplex, as was subsequently done by Levinsen, but as Norman 
first gave a soecific name it seems the correct thing to retain 
that name. 
This species is closely related to WU. Jeffreysii, Norm. 
Loc. Spitzbergen, 50 fath. (Smitt) ; Hast Greenland (Azrch.) ; 
Kara Sea, 50-76 fath. (Levinsen).
