82 ARVID R. MOLANDER, ALCYONACEA. 
Further Distribution: 
Off Newfoundland, 360—396 met. (VERRILL, 1879), BSpitzbergen, 200 met. 
(KÖKENTHAL, 1906), west coast of Norway, Moldgeen, 72—90 met. (Kor. and DAN. 
1883), west coast of Treland, 687—900 met. (STEPHENS, 1909). 
Eunephthya rosea var. umbellata (Kor. and DAN.), KÖKENTHAL, 1906. 
Diagnosis: The branches are numerous, long, and not so terminally divided. The 
cushions of anthocodiae are not so strongly marked. 'The armature is weak. 
1906 b, Punephthya rosea var. umbellata, KUKENTHAL 
The branches round the trunk are numerous and show great ramification. This 
is plainly dicotomical and umbellate. The ramification, too, is not so typically terminal 
as in the case of the principal species, which accounts for this variety being devoid of 
the characteristic semispherical collection of anthocodiae. (Pl. II, fig. 16.) With 
regard to the armature and the shape of the anthocodiae, the correspondence with 
EH. rosea is great. The armature is weak, the spicules are placed mainly at the base of 
the tentacles but extend even on the dorsal side, down into the anthocodia shaft. Kö- 
KENTHAL mentions spicules from the lower part of the tentacles, but the specimen inves- 
tigated by me is without spicules, either in the tentacles or the pinnulae. Some of the 
spicules of the dorsal side of the anthocodiae are larger and have the part with most thorns 
turned towards the outside. "The spicules in general are rods; length 0.11—0.24 mm. The 
branch bark, the greater part of the trunk bark, and inner coenenchym are without 
spicules. In the lower, membranous part of the trunk are scattered a few, irregular spi- 
cules, 0.08—0.11 mm. in length.

Further Distribution:

Eunephthya florida (RATHKE), 1806. 
Diagnosis: Umbellate and terminal ramification. The anthocodiae lie very close 
together and form cushion-like collections. The anthocodiae are very small, 0.5—1.2 
mm., with strong armature. The spicules are slender rods and spindles and are seen even 
in the shaft of the anthocodia. Strongly ridged on the anthocodiae. (Pl. II, fig. 23.)

1912 a, Funephthya florida (pars), BRocH. 
The anthocodiae are very small, 0.5-—1.2 mm., packed on the exclusively terminally 
divided branches. The larger branches proceed almost wreath-like from the trunk. ”The 
anthocodiae have a relatively strong armature, both on the ventral and dorsal side. The
