(2) Verrucae more strongly developed on the outer edge, forming a series of “graptoliteMike 
projections along the branch. 
(3) Anthocodiae in many cases wholly retracted. 
(4) Not described. 
(5) The spicules of the coenenchyma are massive, densely covered with large tuberculate warts. 
The large size of the polyp spicules gives the polyp head a massive appearance. The 
spicules of the points have closely set warts at the blunt end, becoming sparser and simpler 
towards the handle. 
(6) Branches markedly thick in comparison to the length. Main stem deeply furrowed, and of 
coarse rouoT texture. 
o 
Localities: Providence, Amirante. 
32. Siphonogorgici rotunda Harrison, 1908. 
(1) Crown — about 6 rows of spicules. 
Points — 5 spicules in each, directed vertically upwards; below these 8 spicules en chevron. 
(2) Verrucae at right angles to the stem and branches. 
(3) Anthocodiae almost completely retractile. 
(4) Thick-walled canals. 
(5) Not described. r 
(6) Stem and branches solid, smooth and rounded, branching not very great. 
Colour — stem and branches flesh-coloured, polyps white. 
Locality: Bay of Bengal. 
33. Siphonogorgia scoparia (= Chironephthya scoparia Wright and Studer, 1889). 
(1) Not described. 
(2) Verrucae short, laterally appressed and far apart. 
(3) Anthocodiae retracted. 
(4) Four wide radially arranged canals, separated by thick rigid walls. 
(5) Some of the spicules are large, up to 3.5 mm. in length; they may be pointed at one end 
and blunt at the other. 
(6) Branches stumpy. Consistence of the whole colony brittle and fragile. 
Colour — yellowish white. 
Locality: Hyalonema ground Japan. 
Note. See S. crassa. 
According to Wright and Studer this species is distinguished from S', dipsacea by the 
stouter and differently arranged spicules in the stem. 
34. Siphonogorgia siplionogorgica (= Chironephthya siphonogorgica Harrison, 1908). 
(1) Not described. 
(2) Verrucae can be closed over retracted polyp. 
(3) Anthocodiae completely retractile. ■
