or rods (see BRocH 1912 a). In the polyp there are found spindles, rods, and clubs, up 
to 0,7; mm. in length, well provided with thorns. They are arranged in eight con- 
verging, double rows. Spicules in tentacles consist of rods or spindles, 0,25 mm. in 
length and somewhat bent. The spicules here are rather sparse and are transverse to 
the longitudinal direction of the tentacle. Spicules are also to be found in pinnulae. On 
the contraction of the polyps, a seeming calyx (»pseudocalyx») appears, in consequence 
of a great development of the spicules in the lower part of polyp, recalling the condi- 
tion of things in Clavularia. 
General Distribution: 
Norway, Trondhjem Fiord, 200—400 met. (BrRocH, 1912 a). 
Anthelia fallax, BrRrocH, 1912. 
Diagnosis: Large basal planes. The polyps are placed at a distance from each other 
of 2—4 mm. In the tentacles the spicules are placed very close together, in the longitu- 
dinal direction of the length of the tentacles.

STORM, in 1884, described this specimen as Clavularia arctica incorrectly, as was 
shown by BRocH in 1912 a, in addition to which this author determined the nature of An- 
thelia in this species, and showed it to be a new species. 
The stolons have coalesced and produced membranes considerably larger than 
those of tke preceding species, and the polyps are not so fö 
elosely packed, lying at a distance from each other of 2—4 "Ran LITE ERP 
mm. The polyps reach a length of 15 mm. and have from 
13—14 pinnulae on every side. On contraction the polyps FFS IE 
are, naturally, considerably smaller, or about 3—35 mm. The Fig. 10. Spicules from polyp of 
armature, is. specially powerful. The spicules are spindle- Anitelio föllar BRrocm enlarged 150 
formed almost throughout and are well provided with thorns. 
In the basal membrane they are closely packed, and have a length of up to 0,>mm., 
somewhat bent. (Fig. 8b.) The polyps are provided with eight converging double 
rows of bent, powerful spindles of a length of I mm. In the tentacles there are short 
spicules, strongly bent, and provided with strong thorns on the outer, convex side, in 
length about 0,42 mm. The pinnulae appear with spicules, in shape and length the 
same as those of the tentacles. According to BRocH there is no sign of calyx. 
General Distribution: 
Norway, Trondhjem Fiord, 300—5300 met. (BrRocH, 1912 a).
