1. A specimen preserving a part of the column, with the branchlets broken off. The bothy is too im¬ 
perfect to be represented in detail, but the arms and tentacula correspond to those of fig. 2. 
2. An individual nearly entire, with a small portion of the column and branchlets attached, arid 
nearly covering the body. The arms are preserved nearly to their extremities. 
3. An individual much crushed, showing the structure of the body and a portion of the proboscis. 
The small point for the attachment of the column is well shown in the figure. 
4. Enlargement from fig. 2 of the first and second radial plates, the first armjoint, and succeeding
