i -5 mtn, i 5 polyps to i cm.; 1.7 mm. high; high oral cone, with a basal con¬ 
striction; mouth with folds; tentacles short and thick with basal swelling-. 
2. Eucirripathes spiralis (Linn.) Blainv., which contains also Cirr. diversa Brook, and 
the diagnosis of which is for the present: 
Colony: rather regular dextrorsal spiral. 
Spines: conical, unequal length on opposite sides of the axis or longer 
and shorter spines pell me 11; 12 longitudinal rows. 
Polyps: dried, and so very incompletely known. 
3. Eucirripathes ? paucispina Brook. 
Colony: scarcely tapering, ligh thrown. 
Spines: short, conical, blunt, rough apex, at right angles with the axis 
or slightly distally inclined, rather far apart; 4 longitudinal rows. 
Polyps : unknown. 
4. Eucirripathes ? n. 
Colony: tapering; 
Spines: papillose; 
irregularly distributed 
mutual distance 1.5—2

One of these 7 specimens is a fragment of 9 cm. long, preserved in spirits so that the 
polyps can be examined, while the other 6 specimens are in a dried condition. This fragment has 
a diameter of 3.6 mm., diminishing to 2.95 mm. regularly, except for a swift diminuition, where 
the axis makes an obtuse angle. The spines are arranged in 12—-13 longitudinal rows, which 
may be slightly curved, while they often alternate in a quincunx. The mutual distance of the 
sp.? T. & S.

shorter and thicker on the basal part of the colony;
