Summary. 
Sympodium hyalinum n. sp. 
^ Tab. II. fig. lo — 13, Ilt fig. I — 32. 
The zoanthodeme without any trunk, incumbent. The basal 
part abounding in spicules, especially double-spheres and spindles; 
consists of an expanded membrane, which is not any thicked in the 
parts enclosed by the groups of polyps. Tiie polyps are about 1,5 
mm. long, cylindrical, retractile and occur, as a rule, in groups. The 
posterior part of the body is smooth, the anterior part sligthly grooved 
longitudinally. The spicules usually in the form of spindles and clubs, 
lie transversally in the posterior part, and longitudinally in the an- 
terior part; in the tentacles they also lie transversally. In the ten- 
tentacles the spicules extend to the extremity. The polypcells cy- 
lindrical, retractile, entirely conceal the retracted polyp, slightly 
grooved logitudinally. The great majority of spicules in the cell 
are broad nodulous spindles and clubs. Along the oesophagus four 
series of spicules, two on the ventral and two on the dorsal side. 
The entire polyp pellucid dirty creamcoloured. 
Stenogorgia rosea n. sp. 
Tab. I, II fig. 1—9. 
The trunk sparingly furnished with branches, smooth, round. 
The base expanded, adherent. The polyps in single series, on each 
side of the trunk and the branches. The polyps cylindrical, short, 
thick, with eight longitudinal ribs. The oesophagus long, furnished 
with three parallel rows of spicules. The polypcells conical, little 
prominent. The spicules in the sarcosoma have the form of spindles, 
crosses and quadruplets (» Vierling«), especially spindles and crosses, 
and in the cells especially spindles and clubs, but also crosses and 
quadruplets (» Vierling«) ; in the polyps almost exclusively spindles. 
The axis round, corneous, non-calcareous, nutbrown. The colour red.
