annulated throughout. Hydrothecse rather deeply campanulate, aperture entire. Hydranth with 
about 24 very slender tentacles. 
Gonosome . — Gonangia borne on the rootstock, irregularly ovate, obscurely wrinkled, neck short 
and broad. 
Distribution . — I have several fragmentary specimens from Woods Hole region that agree very 
closely with Hincks’s figures. Comparing these, however, with some of the terminal branches of 
C. amphora, I find them to agree closely with these also. Yerrill reports the species from Casco Bay. 
I do not know whether his material embraced the gonosome or not.

(Annals and Magazine of Nat. Hist., 4th. series, vol. vin, p. 78.) 
Trophosome . — Colony usually consisting of a single slightly flexuose stem, but sometimes it gives 
off long branches similar in every way to the main stem, which sends off alternate pedicels of varying 
length, but usually fully annulated and considerably shorter than the hvdrothecse. Hydrothecse 
without teeth, deeply campanulate, and with gracefully 
everted margins. 
Gonosome . — Gonangia of peculiar shape, taper- 
ing basally, with latero-terminal aperture from which 
a short, curved tube projects into the gonangial 
cavity. 
Distribution . — In shallow water on stones, sea- 
weed, submerged timbers, etc. Noank, Conn., on

34. Campanularia flexuosa (Hincks). - 
A. Gonangium with escaping planula. 
This beautiful species can be immediately identified when sexuallv mature. Otherwise the best 
character is the elegant shape of the hjulrothecfe. 
Campanularia flexuosa (Hincks). Fig. 34. 
(Annals and Magazine of Nat. Hist., 3d series, vol. vin, p. 260. Under name of Laomedea flexuosa.) 
Trophosome . — Colony usually in the form of a single flexuose stem giving off a series of regularly 
alternating pedicels. Stem with three or four well-marked annulations above the origin of each pedicel; 
pedicels apparently continuous with the internodes from which they spring, and with which they curve 
continuously, rather large, completely annulated and diminishing gradually in size toward the distal 
end. Hydrothecse campanulate, not very deep, with even rims. Hydranths with a web between the 
bases of the tentacles.
