 30. 31 32. 33. 34.. 35. Køllerne ere besatte med brede 

 Blade, der ere takkede i Randen; de ere 0.176"™ lange 

 0.048""" brede opad, Fig. 36. De enkelte Firlinger have 

 dels Korsformen, dels nærme de sig Timegiasformen; de 

 korsformede ere besatte med Blade og 0.132"™ lange med 

 en i Enderne noget udskaaren Tverstok, som er 0.100"™ 

 lang, Fig. 37 ; de timeglasformede ere besatte med Papiller, 

 i den ene Ende 0.072"™ og i den anden 0.084"™ lange og 

 0.040"™ brede paa Midten, Fig. 38. 



Paa-Polypkroppen ere Spindler og Køller almindeligst, 

 sjeldnere ere Valser og Klubber og yderst sjeldent Firlinger. 

 Spindlerne ere .takkede med dels stumpe, dels spidse 

 Ender og fra 0.188—0.196'"™ lange og fra 0.024—0.028'"'" 

 brede, Fig. 39. 40. Køllerne ere sparsomt besatte med 

 Takker og 0.184'"™ lange, 0.032'""' brede foroven, Fig. 41. 

 Valserne ere mere eller mindre takkede ; enkelte af dem ere 

 særdeles lange og rigt forsynede med tandede Blade; de 

 ere fra 0.128—0.292"»" lange og fra 0.032—0.052"»» brede, 

 Fig. 42. 43. 44. Klubberne ere smaa og besatte med 

 Blade; de ere 0.080""" lange og 0.036""" brede foroven. 

 Fig. 45. Firlingerne have Korsform, ere besatte med Takker 

 og 0.256"™ lange med en næsten rudimentær Tverstok, der 

 .er 0.072"™, Fig. 46. 



Paa Svælgrøret findes væsentligst Spindler og Køller. 

 Spindlerne have tilspidsede Ender, ere takkede og have en 

 Længde af 0.132'""' og en Bredde af 0.032"»", Fig. 47. 

 Køllerne ere bladede, stundom lidt krummede, 0.140'"'" lange 

 og 0.044""" brede foroven, Fig. 48. 49.

Artskarakter. 



Zoanthodemet uden Stamme. Basaldelen membranøst 

 udbredt i større og mindre Udstrækning over Stilken af 

 Bathycrinus Carpenteri, Dan. & Kor. Fra Basaldelen reiser 

 Polyperne med deres Celler sig dels i Grupper, dels enkelt-

few approach in form to the bistellate, whilst others approach 

 the fusiform; they are all spicate, and measure from 0.108 

 — 0.156"™ in length, and from 0.048—0.064"™ in breadth 

 (figs. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35). The subclavates are beset 

 with broad leaves which are spicate in the margin: they 

 measure 0.176"™ in length, and 0.048'"™ in breadth above 

 (fig. 36). The few quadruplets have, partly, the cruciform, 

 or they, partly, approach in form to the sand-glass; the 

 cruciform ones are beset with leaves, and measure 0.132"™ 

 in length, and their transversal arm, which measures 0.100"™ 

 in length (fig. 37), has its extremities somewhat indented. 

 The sand-glass formed ones are beset with papillae, and at 

 the one extremity measure 0.072"™, and at the other extre- 

 mity 0.084"™ in breadth; at the middle they measure 0.040""" 

 in breadth (fig. 38). 



Upon the polyp-body, fusees and subclavates are the 

 most frequent spicular forms ; cylinders and clavates are more 

 rare, and quadruplets very rare. The fusees , are spicate, 

 and have, partly, blunted, partly, acuminated extremities ; 

 they measure from 0.188—0.196""" in length, and from 

 0.024—0.028"»" in breadth (fig. 39. 40). The subclavates 

 are sparingly beset with spikes, and measure 0.184""" in 

 length, and 0.032""" in breadth above (fig. 41). The cylin- 

 ders are more or less spicate; a few of them are particularly 

 long, and are richly furnished with dentated leaves; they 

 measure from 0.128—0.292"'"' in length, and from 0.032— 

 0.052""" in breadth (figs. 42. 43. 44). The clavates are small, 

 and are beset with leaves; they measure 0.080""" in length, 

 and 0.036'"'" in breadth above (fig. 45). The quadruplet is 

 of cruciform, and is beset with spikes; it measures 0.256"™ 

 in length, and has an almost rudimentary transversal arm 

 which measures 0.072'"'" (fig. 46). 



Upon the gullet-tube, fusees and subclavates are the 

 spicular forms most frequently met with. The fusees have 

 acuminated extremities; they are spicate, and measure 0.132"™ 

 in length, and 0.032"™ in breadth (fig. 47). The subclav- 

 ates are foliated, and sometimes they are a little curved; 

 they measure 0.140""" in length, and 0.044"™ in breadth 

 above (figs. 48. 49).

Yellow, shading faintly towards red. 



Habitat. 



Station No. 295. Numerous specimens. 



Specific characteristics. 



The Zoanthodein has no stem. The basal part is 

 membranaceously extended, for a greater or smaller extent, 

 over the stalk of Bathycrinus carpenteri Dan. & Kor. The 

 polyps, with their cells, rise up from the basal part, partly 

 in groups, and partly singly. In the groups, the polyps
