333 
Eudendrium carneum Clarke. Fig. 9. 
(Mem. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., hi, No. 4, p. 137.) 
Trophosome. — Colony attaining a height of about 2 inches; main stem fascicled, pinnately 
branched, the branches not so widely spreading as in E. ramosum. Annulations usually confined to 
the proximal ends of branches and pedicels, except that the pedicels bearing aborted hydranths and 
gonophores are deeply ringed throughout. Hydranth body subvasiform. 
Gonosome. — Male gonophores 4 or 5 chambered, borne in a verticil around the body of aborted 
hydranths, which are themselves joined to pedicels bearing ordinary hydranths, the two being thus 
borne in pairs symmetrically disposed on the branches. 
Color. — Hydranth bodies and gonophores bright red. 
Distribution. — The specimen described was found in the U. S. Fish Commission collection at 
Woods Hole. Labeled December 17, 1888. 
Eudendrium tenue A. Ag. Fig. 10. 
(North American Acaleph*, p. 160.) 
Trophosome. — Colony branching irregularly, attaining a height of about one-half inch. Stem not 
fascicled, loosely branching, the pedicels being long and slender. Hydranth body globular. 
Gonosome. — Male gonophores 2 to 4 chambered, borne on unbranched annulated pedicels, the 
hydranths of which have become aborted. Female gonophores globular, scattered over hydranth 
body and pedicels. (A. Agassiz.) 
Color. — General color bright pinkish. (A. Agassiz.) 
Distribution. — Shallow water in Buzzard’s Bay. Naushon.
