Campanularia magnifica new species. 
Plate XI, figs, 1-3. 
Trophosome . Colonies consisting of solitary individuals grow- 
ing from a stout stolon which is not annulate! but may be slightly 
sinuous. The hydrothecas are very large, as much as 2* 5mm, 
in length and with greatest width about O-Smiii. They are 
nearly tubular with a tendency to be slightly urceolate. The 
margin is slightly flaring, is crenulated with 10 or 12 elevations 
and depressions. A series of parallel fines pass down vertically 
from the margin for about one-third the length of the hydrotheca. 
The pedicels vary much in length but never exceed twice the 
length of the hydrotheca. They are annulated throughout. 
Gonosome . The gonangia are very large also. The male and 
female are similar in size and shape, somewhat longer than 
the hydrotheese and also broader at the greatest diameter. 
The gonangium is supported on a very short pedicel, is almost 
oval in shape except that the distal end is drawn out into a 
long bottle-neck. The aperture is circular, occupying the 
whole of the distal end. A few corrugations, low and not 
very noticeable, are present on the broad proximal portion. 
Distribution. Several specimens, in close company with 
Haledum ienellum , attached to a stalked ascidian, were brought 
up by a trawl hook from a depth of 50 fathoms on the Canso 
Banks. 
The trophosome of this species bears a great resemblance to 
that of Campanulana spedosa Clark 1 . Prof, Nutting had 
some of Clark's original specimens from Shumagin islands, 
Alaska, and by using those I -was able to make a comparison 
of the two. The hydrotheca is more urceolate in C. spedosa than 
in C. magnifica and the stolon is distinctly annulated, but in 
other respects they are very similar; when the gonosome is 
present there is no difficulty as the obconical gonangium of 
C. spedosa bears little resemblance to the elongated gonangium 
of G. magnifica. I have made a drawing of G. spedosa from a 
Shumagin Island specimen, showing the hydrotheca and the 
gonangium to the same scale so that the two species may be 
compared (See Plate XI, fig. 4).
