This appears to be a species distinct from D. glomerata. It is openly 

 branched, with larger and more elongated polyps. The clubs of the anthocodia 

 are much more slender. They have a more abruptly enlarged distal end, while 

 the proximal part is slender. The enlarged part is covered with smaller spinules 

 and more slender and shorter thorns; the slender part is closely covered with 

 small acute warts and spinules. The spindles are more slender and have smaller 

 more regular, and much more numerous spinules. Polyp.? are 4 mm. long, 2 

 mm. wide. It seems to be much like D. gronlandica Molander, — perhaps the 

 same. It was fi-om off Newfoundland, in 1,267 meters. JNIolander considers it 

 a form of D. flarescens.

As stated above Eunephthya cannot be used legitimately for this group. 

 Therefore Dura, the earliest availat)le name, must lie used. The genus and the 

 several species refei-rcd to it l)y Danielssen were very fully described and finely
