at fremkalde den. De variere i Størrelse fra 0.092— 0.1 46""" 

 lange og fra 0.060—0.076""'" brede-, meget ofte have de et 

 nøgent Midtparti, der i Regelen er halvt saa bredt som 

 Endeme, Fig. 4. 5. Spindleme ere i Almindelighed besatte 

 med Vorter og som oftest lige, men forekomme ogsaa 

 mere eller mindre krumme ; deres Ender ere dels tilspidsede 

 dels afstumpede, ja kunne endog være tvers afskaarne og 

 nærme sig da meget Valseformen; de ere fra 0.084— 

 0.128'"'" lange og fra 0.036—0.052""" brede, Fig. 6 — 11. 

 Imellem de nævnte Spikier sees smukke Dobbeltstjerner, 

 der ere 0.080""" lange, 0.052""" brede i Enderne og omtrent 

 0.020""" bred i det glatte Midtbelte, Fig. 12. 13. 14; 

 enkelte, stilkede Stjerner, sammensatte som Firlinger, 

 0.084'"™ lange, 0.060™™ brede, Fig. 15; enkelte, bladede 

 Køller med langt, tyndt Haandgreb, 0.1 56'"™ lange, 0.060™™ 

 brede opacl, Fig. 16; bladede Klubber med kort Skaft, 0.096™™ 

 lange, 0.056'"™ brede foroven, Fig. 17, samt forskjelligt for- 

 mede Firlinger, 0.088'"™ lange, 0.080™™ brede, Fig. 18. 19. 20. 



Paa den nederste Del af Stammen ligge Spiklerne 

 mere spredte end paa Basaldelen, og man træffer der om- 

 trent de samme Former som paa denne; den øverste Del 

 er, som forhen omtalt, spikelfri. 



Paa Polypkroppen, der er rig paa Spikier, forekom- 

 mer Spindelformen hyppigst. Det er væsentligst takkede, 

 lige eller krumme, vortede Spindler, dels med stumpe, 

 dels med tilspidsede Ender, som danne de før beskrevne 

 Rækker paa Forkroppen, og det er lignende Spindler, som 

 udgjør Hovedmassen af Spiklerne paa Bagkroppen, Fig. 3. 

 De ere af forskjellig Størrelse, fra 0.100 — 0.266™'" lange og 

 fra 0.036—0.056'"™ brede, Fig. 21—25; og der, hvor 

 Spikelrækken afsluttes ved Tentakelgrunden, ere Spiklerne 

 meget smaa, næsen rlade og have en forskjellig Form; 

 nogle nærme sig Køllens, andre Klubbens; de ere fra 0.080 

 —0.100™™ lange og fra 0.032—0.068'"™ brede i den tykke 

 Ende; Skaftet er paa enkelte langstrakt og 0.012™™ bredt, 

 Fig. 26 — 29. Imellem v%uncllerne sees mere eller mindre 

 udprægede Valser, fra 0.111—0.160™™ lange og fra 0.064— 

 0.072™™ brede, Fig. 30. 31, samt særegne, stærkt takkede 

 eller bladede Køller med kort, takket Haandgreb, Fig. 32; 

 den ene Form af disse Køller er især stærkt indskaaren 

 langs den ene Side, Fig. 33; cle ere fra 0.152 — 0.168™™ 

 lange og fra 0.056—0.076™™ brede, foroven. 



when broken up into several pieces however, it sometimes, 

 happens that we are fortunate enough to obtain it. They 

 vary in size, from 0.092 — 0.146""" in length, and from 0.060 

 — 0.076""" in breadth; very frequently they have a bare 

 mesial part, which, as a rule, is half the breadth of the 

 extremities (figs. 4. 5). The fusees are, usually, beset with 

 warts, and are, most frequently straight, but appear, also, 

 more or less bent; their extremities are, partly, acuminated, 

 partly, blunted, indeed, may also, even, be transversely trun- 

 cated, and in that case they approach much to the roller- 

 form; they measure from 0.084—0.128""" in length, and from 

 0.036—0 052""" in breadth (figs. 6—11). Between the spi- 

 cules mentioned, beautiful bistellates are seen, which measure 

 0.080""" in length, and 0.052'""' in breadth at the extremities, 

 and about 0.020""" in breadth at the smooth mesial belt (figs. 

 12. 13. 14); also a few pedunculated stellates, complex like 

 the quadruplets, and measuring 0.084""" in length, and 0.060'"'" 

 in breadth (fig. 15); a few foliaceous subclavates, with long- 

 thin shaft, and measuring 0.156""" in length and 0.060 mm 

 in breadth above (fig. 16); foliaceous clavates, with short 

 shaft, and measuring 0.096""" in length, and 0.056""" 

 in breadth above (fig. 17), also, variously formed quadrup- 

 lets, measuring 0.088""" in length, and 0.080'"'" in breadth 

 (figs. 18. 19. 20). 



t In the lowest part of the stem, the spicules are placed, 

 more dispersed than in the basal part, and, here, we meet 

 about the same forms as in the latter. The uppermost part 

 is, as before mentioned, devoid of spicules. 



On the body of the polyp, which is rich in spicules, 

 the fusi-torm is the most frequent. It appears, principally 

 as spicate, straight or bent, warted fusees, partly, with 

 blunt, partly, with acuminate extremities, and forms, the 

 previously described series on the anterior body, and it is 

 similar spicules which compose the principal bulk of spi- 

 cules on the posterior body (fig. 3). They are of various 

 sizes, measuring from 0.100 — 0.266""" in length, and from 

 0.036-0.056'"'" in breadth (figs. 21-25) and, in the situ- 

 ation where the spicular series ceases, at the root of the 

 tentacles, the spicules are very minute, almost flat, and 

 have a variable form; some approach forming of the sub- 

 clavate, others that of the clavate; they measure, from 0.080 

 —0.100""" in length, and from 0.032—0.068""" in breadth 

 at the thick extremity. In a few of them, the shaft is 

 elongate and measures 0.012""" in breadth (figs. 26—29). 

 Between the fusees, more or less distinct, rollers are seen, 

 measuring from 0.111—0.160""" in length, and from 0.064 

 — 0.072'"" 1 in breadth (figs. 30. 31) also, peculiar, strongly 

 spicate or foliaceous subclavates, with short, spicate shaft 

 (fig. 32). The one form of these subclavates is especially 

 distinctly indented along the one side (fig. 33). They measure 

 from 0.152—0.168""" in length, and from 0.056—0 076""" 

 in breadth above.
