e) Umbrella 13 mm. in length and 9 mm. in width, with a long 

 pointed conical summit, measuring 7 mm. in length and 4 mm. 

 in width. Thirteen tentacles and 1—3 bulbs. Gonads forming 

 eight adradial bands. In this specimen the ocelli are visible 

 on the basal bulbs of the tentacles. 



f) Umbrella 25 mm. in length and 15 mm. in width, with a 

 globular mass of jelly on the summit, measuring 8 mm. in 

 length and width. This specimen is in bad condition; the 

 stomach is missing and margin of the umbrella considerably 

 torn away. 



Puddefjord. 0—8 m. 18. 11. 1898. Two specimens. 



a) Umbrella 9 mm. in length and 6 mm. in width, with a broad 

 cone-shaped summit. Thirteen tentacles, and one bulb between 

 every two tentacles. Gonads developing upon the stomach. 



b) This specimen is somewhat similar to the above one, but it is 

 badly contracted. 



Herløfjord. 3. 12. 1900. One specimen. 



Umbrella 25 mm. in length and 15 mm. in width, with a small 

 mass of jelly on the summit. Margin of the umbrella is crowded 

 with tentacles, about 50, and has a fe w large bulbs. Radial canals 

 broad (about 1 mm.) with a serrated margin. Manubrium about 

 half the length of the umbrella cavity; stomach massive and the 

 mouth very large, with a closely folded margin. Gonads arranged 

 in eight adradial, longitudinal bands, "which are transversely folded. 



This is a splendid specimen and in an excellent state of pre- 

 servation, showing all the characters of a fully grown adult. 



The solid mass of jelly forming a kind of crown on the sum- 

 mit of the umbrella shows in these specimens a considerable amount 

 of variation; it may be either like a spike on a belmet or like a 

 ball. I have noticed a similar range of variation among specimens 

 collected on the British coast. The "crown" is exceedingly variable 

 both in shape and in size. 



This species has been tåken by Sårs, Haeckel, and Nokdgaarb 

 (1898) on the coast of Norway; it is common on the British coast 

 from March till November.
