The specimen of station 305 is only a top-fragment, with well preserved polyps. Length 
6 cm.; it is the end of a sinistrorsal spiralcoil; basal diameter 245 p„; top blunt. 
The spines (fig. 245) are arranged 
in ± 13 
longitudinal rows, which may sometimes

Spines; 58.5 X- 
alternate in a quincunx. Sometimes the longitudinal rows are the only regularity. 
The length is sub-equal on opposite sides of the axis (105 p.) while the mutual 
distance is from 300 — 375 p.. The spines are inserted at right angles with 
the axis or slightly inclined; they are blunt, conical, with their surface covered 
with thick warts, especially on the top. 
The polyps (figs. 247, 248), although not accurately uniserial since 
especially the younger polyps deviate from this line, are arranged as in the sub¬ 
genus Stichopathes. There are many young polyps inserted between the adult 
ones, so that the interpolypar distance is very variable (max. 6 mm.). The tentacles are very 
long and they are lying against the axis; often they form an intricate mass, 
which surrounds the greater part of the axis; the sagittal tentacles are 4.5 mm. 
long, the lateral ones are somewhat shorter but only very slightly so. The 
sagittal tentacles are inserted at a lower level than the lateral ones. The 
oral cone is high and often transversally compressed; its diameter is =t 1 mm., 
its height 0.6 min.; the mouth is sagittally elongated, with a crenated border. 
The oral cone is covered with vertical grooves; broad bands alternate with 
narrower, darker stripes (fig. 247). The tentacles have a swollen base, with 
a basal constriction; the rest is sub-cylindral, with a blunt apex; they are
