Campanularia edwardsi, new species. Fig. 28. 
Trophosome . — Colony attaining a height of over an inch, branching somewhat irregularly, but with 
a distinct tendency to send off pedicels from the main stem in subopposite pairs. Stems, branches, 
and pedicels exceedingly long and slender, with the annulations confined to the proximal portions, 
except a few just below the hydrothecse. Hydrothecae very large, deeply campanulate, with 12 to 14 
exceedingly sharp, slender teeth, more acuminate than in any other species in the region. Hydranth 
with about 28 tentacles. 
Gonosome.- -Unknown. 
Distribution . — The type specimen was found on the piles of the U. S. F. C. dock at Woods Hole. 
This is one of the most distinct and beautiful of the American campanularians. 
Named for Mr. Vinal Edwards, the veteran collector at the U. S. F. C. station at Woods Hole. 
27. Campanularia minuta Nutting. 
A. and B. Hydrothee* (enlarged). 
Campanularia neglecta (Alder.). Fig. 29. 
( Laomedea neglectn Alder, North, and Durham Cat. in Trans. Tyneside Field Club, p. 123.) 
Trophosome . — Colony branching, main stem flexuose, giving off alternate pedicels which are long, 
slender, and annulated at the ends. Hydrothecas deeply campanulate, almost tubular, with their 
margins armed with 8 to 10 teeth which are bimucronate; that is, the summit of each tooth is crowned 
with two minute denticles. 
Gonosome . — Gonangia borne in the axils of the pedicels, oblong ovate, smooth, somewhat truncated 
above. The mature gonangium often has a globular acrocyst on its summit. 
Distribution . — In shallow water, on stones, shells, and other hydroids. Reported by Professor 
Verrill from Casco Bay, Maine. I find it in my notes as occurring at Woods Hole, but fail to find 
specimens. The figure is from a British specimen.
