specimens of this have proved to me it is not a Plumularian, but a Sertu- 
larian, and I intend to place it in its proper position in a future paper. 
APPENDIX. 
Description of a New Zealand Tubularian (Family Tubularide.) 
“‘ Hydrocaulis developed, invested by a chitinous perisare. Hydranths 
” flask: shaped, with a proximal and a distal = of verticillate filiform tentacles. 
Gonophores in the form of fixed sporosac.’’ (Hincks and Allman). 
Genus Tubularia. Sub-genus Thamnoenidia, Agassiz. 
Tubularia attennoides, sp. nov. 
Trophosome. Hydrocaulis of a cluster of simple stems, semitortuous, of 
about 4 line in width and from one to two inches in height ; perisare strong 
and leathery, corrugated transversely in the distal part of stem so as in 
some places to closely resemble annulations; perisare for a line in length 
from base of hydranth is very transparent and delicately annulated just 
beneath the collar. 
Hydranth separated from stem by a distinct but simple (unfluted) 
collar, which becomes narrow near the base of the hydranth ; proximal 
row of tentacles, about twenty-four in number, and about double the length 
of inner or distal row, which are about twenty in number. 
Gonosome, Gonophores male, on very short erect peduncles, from two to six 
in one cluster ; when two, sub-pedunculate ; when six, nearly sessile. Each 
gonophore has four tentaculi-form processes which are more delicate than 
those seen in T. attenuata, Allman, and relatively much longer. Colour— 
body of hydranth, a bright orange-vermillion, darkest within the inner 
circle of tentacles; cxnosare, dusky vermillion; perisarc, straw colour ; 
spadix, true vermillion. 
Attached to sides of rock-pools and submerged piles at Anderson’s Bay, 
Vauxhall Jetty, and other places in Dunedin Upper Harbour, rock- pools in 
Tomahawk and other bays between Hooper’s Inlet and Ocean Beach, Otago 
Peninsula.
