Paa Stammen og Grenene ligge Spiklerne meget 

 mere spredte end paa Basalen, og her ere Valser, Køller 

 og Spindler de hyppigste, sjeldnere Klubber og Dobbelt- 

 stjerner, men yderst sjeldent Firlinger. Vakerne have 

 brede, næsten paatvers afskaarne, takkede Ender og ere 

 overalt temmelig tæt besatte med brede, bladformige, i

 brede Blade, hvis Rande ere mere eller mindre tandede; 

 enkelte af Klubberne nærme sig noget Valsen, andre

are, partly, smooth, partly faintly beset with papillæ, and 

 are sometimes richly ornamented. The cruciforms measure 

 from 0.080 — 0.084""" in length, and have a transversa? 

 arm measuring from 0.064 -- 0.076""" (figs. 7. 8), The 

 sand-glass forms are the most frequent ; they measure from 

 0.072—0.128'"'" in length, from 0.044—0.084""" in breadth 

 at the extremities, and from 0.028 — 0.044""" in breadth 

 at the middle (figs. 9. 10. 11. 12). The rosetiform 

 are the rarest, and they measure 0.076"™ in length, and 

 0.088'"™ in breadth (fig. 13). The bistellates are more 

 or less developed: a few approach more in form to the 

 complex stellate»; the rays are broad and foliaceous, and 

 have spicate extremities; they measure from 0.116 — 0.128 mm 

 in length, from 0.042—0.072""" in breadth, towards the 

 extremities, and from 0.020—0.036'""' in breadth at the 

 middle, which occasionally is bare, or is, occasionally, 

 beset with a few papillæ (figs. 14. 15). The fusees are 

 not much spicate, some are quite thin and have spicate 

 extremities; these measure 0.084""" in length, and 0.032""" 

 in breadth (fig. 16). Others, again, are thicker, and have 

 pennate excrescences; those measure from 0.088 — 0.104'""' 

 in length, and from 0.036—0.052""" in breadth (figs. 17. 

 18. 19). 



On the stem and the branches, the spicules are 

 placed much more scatteredly than on the basal part and 

 here, cylinders, subclavates, and fusees are the most fre- 

 quent forms met with; clavates and bistellates are met with 

 more rarely, and quadruplets extremely rarely. The cylinders 

 have broad, almost transversely-truncated spicate extrem- 

 ities and are, everywhere, pretty closely beset with broad, 

 foliaceous spikes, having dentated margins; they measure 

 0.212'"'" in length, and 0.084'"'" in breadth (fig. 20). The 

 subclavates are, also, everywhere adorned with very broad 

 foliform spikes strongly dentated in the margins, and 

 between these spikes others, terminating in a small star, 

 are seen; these subclavates measure 0.308""" in length, 

 and 0.088""" in breadth above (fig. 21). The fusees are, 

 sometimes straight, and sometimes curved, almost cymbi- 

 form, and spicate, and in a few of them the spikes are 

 broad, with dentated margins; they measure from 0.176 — 

 0.244'"'» in length, and from 0.028-0.060'"'" in breadth at 

 the middle. The extremities are more or less acuminated 

 (figs. 22. 23. 24). The clavates are very various in form ; 

 the shaft is short and partly spicate, but the remaining 

 part is richly adorned with large, projecting, broad leaves 

 whose margins are more or less dentated. A few of the 

 clavates approach, somewhat, in form to that of the cylin- 

 ders, others to that of the complex stellates ; they measure 

 from 0.156—0.196""" in length, and from 0.088—0.096"™ 

 in breadth above (figs. 25. 26. 27). The bistellates are 

 rather misshapen, and the irregularly placed rays are 

 broad and have spicate extremities; they measure from 

 0.124—0.140""" in length, and from 0.052—0.076""" in 

 breadth, and have a mesial stripe partly occupied by small 

 papillæ, which measures from 0.024— 0.036""" in breadth 

 (fig, 28. 29). Finally, the quadruplet so rarely met with 

 in this situation, is richly ornamented, and appears to be
