No.427.] CCELENTERATE FAUNA OF WOODS HOLE. 551 
from the Canary Islands, in which secondary medusz were budded 
in great numbers from the very long siphonlike manubrium. 
So far as I am aware, no member of the genus Sarsia having 
similar characters has been described from American waters. 
Forbes's species were Sarsza gemmifera and S. prolifera, as 
cited above, pp. 57—59. The former, like Haeckel's S. szphono- 
phora, buds its secondary medusz from the walls of the long 
manubrium in a spiral-like raceme throughout its entire length. 
In the specimen under consideration the proliferous medusz 
are budded from the manubrium, 
but in a whorl about its base (cf. 
Fig. 3. Onlyasingle specimen was 
. taken, but its characters were so 
definite that there seems little doubt 
as to its specific distinctness. 
The following characters summa- 
rize its more distinctive features : 
Bell high, somewhat ovate, or elon- 
gate hemispherical; tentacles four, 
with prominent basal bulbs, orange- 
colored, with marginal fringe of 
delicate green, each bulb with a 
prominent ocellus densely black and 
facing outward. Manubrium long, 
pendulous, extending far beyond the 
margin of bell, capable of great con- Fte. 2. ~~ ae =e 
traction; terminal portion doubly 
bulbous, with proximal bulb light sky-blue, terminal green ; 
basal portion of manubrium expanding into an orange-colored 
gastric pouch which graduates into the body of the bell. 
Gonads medusoid, in a whorl about the base of the manubrium ; 
ectoderm transparent or faintly tinged with pale blue, entoderm 
orange-colored. Height of bell, 1.5 mm.; breadth, 1 mm. 
For this medusa the name Coryne producta is proposed. The 
description is based upon a single specimen, and while its char- 
acters seem sufficiently definite to warrant specific distinction, 
it is not impossible that other specimens in larger numbers 
May necessitate modification or change at certain points.
