It will be noticed that the description given above differs in sev¬ 
eral important features from that of Yerrill. According to his 
description the palpi are “apparently 8-jointed or perhaps 9-jointed.” 
While I have not counted them on all of the specimens given in the 
above list, I have done so on a large number, and in all cases 
have found these appendages to be 7-jointed, with one exception. 
This was a female which had one palp 7-jointed, while the 
other was composed of but six joints. From the fact that all the 
joints up to and including the fifth were of normal size, and that 
the sixth was very small, it seems not improbable that this was a 
case in which the palp had previously been broken off between the 
fifth and sixth joints and was in process of regeneration. Owing to 
1 1 am indebted to Mr. E. D. Congdon for the identification of these hydroids. 
2 Type of the species, loaned by Professor Yerrill for comparison. This 
specimen was from “Flatts Inlet, dredged in shallow water.”
