In connection with this diagnosis I will briefly trace the species enumerated in the tabel. 
Antipathes dichotoma Pallas (non Gray). As Schultze (11) rightly remarks, it is very 
dubious if Pallas’ Antipathes dichotoma (= Marsigli’s Litophyte N° 9) is quite identical with 
the mediterranean specimen which Brook describes. Therefore I will trace the descriptions of 
Brook and Marsigli separately, although both appertain to Euantipathes dichotoma. As Brook 
had only one single specimen (a fragment!), for the present I will not lay too much weight on 
the very large dimensions of the polyps, since these dimensions in other species are very vari¬ 
able. — The numerical data in the tabel are deduced from Brook’s figures. — Brook himself 
remarks that this species approaches Antipathes foeniculacea Pall, very closely, however without 
showing fusions, while in mode of branching this species keeps the due medium between Anti¬ 
pathes foeniculacea Pall, and Marsigli’s Litophyte N° 9. — It is remarkable that von Koch 
does not describe this form among his specimens from the gulf of Naples; it may be presumed that 
von Koch’s Antipathes aenea , which also shows very large polyps, is related to Brook s speci¬ 
men of Antipathes dichotoma , also from the Mediterranean (Naples). As to Antipathes aenea 
v. Koch and the possibility of its being a separate species, I refer to the discussion of Anti-
