 tornede, 0.260""" lange, 0.080""" brede foroven, Fig. 61 ; men 

 enkelte ere smalere og ligne fuldkommen den, som er af-

 korsformede, stærkt tornede Firlinger med en Længdestok

Paa Tentaklerne lindes væsentlig "korte, brede, næsten 

 flade Spilder med indskaarne Rande og besatte med Papiller ; 

 cle ligge paatvers af den aborale Side og naa næsten op

 fra 0.030—0.040"™ brede, Fig. 60, b. 65. 66. 



Bagkroppen optages væsentlig af takkede Spindler og 

 bladede Køller. Spindlerne ere dels lige, dels krumme,

spicules, somewhat variable forms of quadruplets are found 

 for instance, a cruciform quadruplet beset with small 

 warts, and having a longitudinal arm measuring 0.100""", 

 and a transversal arm measuring 0.092""" (fig. 51); a 

 quadruplet sparingly beset with small warts, and measuring 

 0.080»"" in breadth, and 0.060'""' in length, (fig. 52); a 

 quadruplet measuring 0.080""" in length, whose upper- 

 most part is oblated, and which measures 0.040"™ in breadth, 

 whilst its lowest part measures, uniformly, 0.040""" in breadth 

 (fig. 53); finally, but rarely, rosettes are met with, beset with 

 warts, and furnished with a crucial sign in the middle ; they 

 measure 0.088""" in length, and 0.072""" in breadth (fig. 54). 



On the stem, the spicules are much dispersed, and 

 consist iof the same forms as are found on the branches 

 and branchlets, where they are however placed much 

 closer. The forms most frequently met with, here, are 

 spicate fusees, of which, many have conical acuminated 

 extremities; they measure from 0.160 — 0.200""" in length, 

 and from 0.020 — 0.040""" in breadth (figs. 55. 56). Between 

 the fusees, warted rollers are seen, partly with, and partly 

 without, a narrow bare belt in the middle (figs. 57. 58) ; 

 also, a few cruciform quadruplets beset with papillæ (fig. 59) 

 with their arms about uniform in length, and measuring 0.060""", 

 but the one arm is much broader than the other, and is 

 amorphous; also, a few spicate twins measuring 0.100"™ 

 in length, with 0.040"™ broad extremities, and a bare mesial 

 belt 0.020""» in breadth. 



On the anterior part of the body of the polyp, and 

 on the root of the tentacles, spicate fusees Avith, partly, acu- 

 minated, partly, more or less, blunted extremities, are the 

 most frequent spicular forms, and these measure from 0.140 

 —0.220"'"' in length and from 0.018—0.040»"» in breadth 

 (fig. 60, a). Subclavates are, also, frequent; they are all 

 strongly aculeated, and measure 0.260""" in length and 0.080""" 

 in breadth, above (fig. 61); but a few are narrower, and 

 completely resemble that which is illustrated in figure 46. 

 Between the fusees and the subclavates, strongly aculeated 

 cruciform quadruplets are found, having a longitudinal arm 

 measuring 0.280"™, and Avith the loAvest part somewhat curved, 

 and a transversal arm measuring 0.120'"'" (fig. 62); also, 

 foliaceous quadruplets in the form of subclavates, measuring 

 0.200»"" in length, and 0.060""" above (fig. 63); and a 

 foliaceous quadruplet, in rudimentary cruci-form, haA r ing a 

 longitudinal arm acuminated at both extremities, and mea- 

 suring 0.220""" ; the transversal arm is only slightly developed 

 (fig. 64). 



On the tentacles, short, broad, almost fiat, spicules 

 with indented margins, and béset Avith papillæ, are principally 

 found; these are placed across the aboral side, and reach 

 almost up to the extremity of the tentacle. They measure 

 from 0.068—0.080'"'» in length, and from 0.030—0.040""» in 

 breadth (figs. 60, b. 65. 66), 



The posterior body is occupied, principally, by spi- 

 cate fusees and foliaceous subclavates. The fusees are, partly, 

 straight, partly, bent, and measure from 0.260 — 0.300'"'" 

 in length, and from 0.035—0.060""» in breadth (fig. 67).
