fragment from Sumner, containing two hydranths, much shrunken 
and blackened, may belong to the above species. I think it probable that 
the form referred by Hilgendorf to T. fruticosa Allman (1897, p. 201) may 
be the same as Farquhar's species.

Types of this species are in the Dunedin Museum. Professor Benham 
points out that the correct spelling of the name is “ attenuoides,” not 
“ attennoides " as hitherto printed.

A cotype of this species, among Professor Chilton's material, aene 
of three shoots, very slender, and not more than 8 mm. in height. = 
hydranths, which are badly preserved, are smaller than Farquhar's figure, 
the largest not being more than 1 mm. in length, with about 27 tentacles. 
The gonosome is not present. А 
Specimens from Taylor's Mistake are more robust, reaching nearly 1 m. 
in height, and more freely branched. Stems very dark at base, becoming 
gradually paler upwards, and, while proximal portions are very slender, 
diameter increases slightly above. Stem and branches strongly but irre 
gularly annulated at base; there are often a few annulations on stem just 
above origin of branches. Terminal portions of hydrocaulus smooth, 
occasionally with a few faint corrugations. They do not form basal cups 
for hydranths. * 
ydranths reach up to about 1-6 mm. in length, as figured by Farquhar, 
and are cylindrical, with very little tendency towards clavate form. I saw 
none with more than 23 tentacles, and only a few with so many. 
verticil, with 4 or 5, is distinct, but there is not much regularity about the
