1896] On Funiculina and Kophobelemnon. 11 



is situated about the middle of the ventral side, while the other 

 two are always below this one, and more or less towards the lateral 

 side of the rachis, one to the left, the other to the right. 



In this specimen there is an irregularity in the development of 

 the polyps, similar to that in the 41 mm. long specimen, the 4th 

 polyp being larger and more fully developed than the 3rd. Further- 

 more between the 4th and 5th sexual polyps, ventrally, we find a 

 larger bud, which ought perhaps by rights to be designated the 

 fifth sexual polyp, the 5th mentioned above is then the 6th, but 

 shoulcl normally be a ventral polyp. It may however possibly be so, 

 that it is the ventral polyp in a third set of polyps, which is in 

 the act of emerging. One argument in favour of this view is that 

 quite on the left side, and about 3 mm. below the last completely- 

 formed polyp, there is yet another, on which the tentacles are in 

 the act of springing out. 



The zooicls are arranged as in the 41 mm. long specimen. 



The remaining specimens contained in the Herlofjord collection 

 are all older, and I therefore omit them. 



I believe that Kopholelemnon stelliferum probably spawns in 

 June for on an excursion to Herlo on the 21th of May this Year 

 I found nearly mature eggs in one specimen. We may therefore 

 hope to find the earliest stages of these species about the end of 

 June or beginning of July.
