In midsummer, in the warmer waters of the har- 
bor, the hydranths of this species disappear by 
a normal process of autotomy. On the local 
pier, for example, living hydranths begin to be 
scarce about the third week in July. — Max 
Morse and A. J. Goldfarb. Later, they reap- 
pear in these same places, being found during 
the latter part of October. — Morse. In some- 
what cooler waters, T. crocea may remain in an 
active condition throughout the entire sum- 
mer, such specimens having not infrequently 
been recorded during the survey dredging in 
Vineyard Sound, between July 6 and August 
21. Dr. Morse informs us that they may like- 
wise be found in small numbers in Woods Hole 
passage, throughout the summer months. 
“Breeding” hydroids found in March. — Bum- 
pus. Reproduces in June and July.— Hargitt.
