reaching beyond the velum ; gonads of reddish orange color and arranged in 
four masses upon the manubrium. | Hydroid generation, — a Dendroclava. 
Dysmorphosa fulgurans A. Ag. (FIG. 43). 
Bell subhemispherical, with slight conical apical projection ; radial canals 
four; marginal tentacles eight, symmetrically disposed; manubrium of 
edium size, its oral end provided with four 
rather prominent tentacles ; from the body 
of the manubrium secondary meduse bud 
off with great profusion, their numbers | 
at times becoming so great as to affor 
a splendid phosphorescence (A. Agassiz) 
Hydroid (?). 
Fic. 43. — Dysmorphosa fulgurans : 
A. Ag. (After A. Agassiz.) Fodocoryne carnea Sars (Fic. 44). 
Medusa oval or bell-shaped or subglobular, form variable; exumbrella 
surface dotted with nematocysts ; size about five mm. in height by slightly 
: more than half as broad ; marginal tentacles eight, four 
radial, four zxz¢ervadial, instead of all radial, as stated 
in Part I in describing the gonosome of Podocoryne, 
the latter shorter; pinkish ocelli at bases of tentacles; 
manubrium of medium size, though extensible to velum, 
of quadrangular form, with four oral lobes tipped with 
nematocysts ; gonads borne on base of manubrium. 
This medusa has been confused with the preceding, 
Y which has usually been designated as the product of 
Fic. 44.—Podocoryne  Podocoryne. This is, M. 
carnea Sars. ; : 
however, a mistake. 
Podocoryne, so far as I am aware, never 
produces proliferous medusze from the manu- 
rium, as is the case with Dysmorphosa. I 
have often followed the direct liberation of 
the medusz from the hydroid, and they have 
even at that time sex products well developed. 
Bunting has also noted the same thing. (Cf. 
Journ. Morph., Vol. IX.)
