(3) Two fragments of a young- pure-white specimen identical with those described above from 
Station 366. 
Locality: Station 301. 
(4) Two other fragments very similar to the above. 
Locality: Haingsisi Reef. 
It should be noted that although all these specimens agree in most respects with Holm’s 
description, the internal canal walls contain spindles. 
Deduction : It appears to us that the most striking feature of this species is the exag¬ 
geration of one of the terminal spicules of certain anthocodial rows, but it must be admitted 
that many of the heads show no trace of this. 
Previously recorded from Japan.

Diagnosis: Divaricate outline irregular; not obviously flattened ; polyps in little groups 
(4—10), distinctly scattered, polyp stalks medium; supporting bundle medium; point spicules 
one pair only, of which one is a long projecting curved spindle associated with a much smaller 
one at its base; pseudo-crown of some six rows of horizontally disposed spindles; grade VI.; 
spicules : canal-walls show numerous forms with greatly developed thorns. 
Anthocodial Grade and Formula: 
VI = I -J- 1 P T- 4 —6 Cr + medium S. B. 
Descriptive Notes : 
Colony as a whole. Two handsome colonies agreeing very well with Holm’s figures. 
Branching. Markedly divaricate, of irregular outline, not obviously flattened, referable to 
Kukenthal’s sttensoni-group. 
Colouring. Deep rose-red spicules on cortex and polyps ; the polyps themselves, apart 
from their spicules, are yellowish grey. 
Polyp stalks about 1.3 mm. long. 
Polyps in little groups (4—10) distinctly scattered. 
Polyp spicules. Anthococliae show. eight points, each consisting of a long, projecting 
curved spindle with a much smaller one at its base, the two being obviously members of a 
pair. These points rise from a pseudo-crown of about 6 rows of horizontally disposed curved 
spindles. The supporting bundle consists of only three strong spindles up to 3 mm. long, one 
of which projects for only a short distance. 
Other spicules. The canal-walls contain numerous forms with conspicuously developed thorns. 
Previously recorded from Japan.
