Co 1 our. Capitulum muddy-brown or orange with eight opaque 
white lenticular figures, which alternate with eight longitudinal white 
double lines. Tentacles pellucid white with opaque yellowish-white 
tips. Disc pale muddy-brown with eight white radiating lines. Actino- 
pharynx orange or white (elegans) teste Farquhar. Capitulum, disc, 
tentacles uniform pellucid white or pinkish white, without any mark- 
ings {neozelanica teste F.). The scapus of Auckland-specimens was 
yellowish, that of the Slipper-specimen dirty gray. 
Dimensions in extended State: length of the animal 7,5 cm, 
that of the tentacles 0,6 cm {elegans teste F.), length 4,3 cm, that 
of the tentacles 0,3? cm {neozelanica teste F.). The well preserved 
specimen with extended tentacles from Auckland Islands was 3 cm 
long and up to 0,4 cm broad, length of the tentacles 0,5 cm. The 
specimen from Slipper Islands was very contracted and only 0,8 cm 
long and 0,45 cm broad. 
Occurrence. Masked Island, Carnley Harbour, Auckland 
Islands. Rocky coast with Melobesia. 3.12.1914. 2 specimens. 
Slipper Island, low water. 20.12.1914. 1 specimen. Cook strait, 
Island Bay, Ohiro Bay (teste Farquhar and Stuckey), Lyall Bay, 
Ohiro Bay {neozelanica teste F.) 
Exterior aspect. The physa is well developed, retractile. 
The scapus is provided with a thin cuticle and 8 longitudinal furrows 
corresponding to the insertions of the mesenteries. Its nemathy- 
bomes are small but very numerous, scattered and distributed over 
the whole surface of the scapus making it appear granulous. The 
capitulum is deeply furrowed at the insertions of the mesenteries, 
and polygonal. The cylindrical tentacles are of usual length, in 
the examined Auckland-specimen 16. Farquhar States \n elegans 
16 and in neozolanica 16 — 24 but usually 16 tentacles. The actino- 
pharynx is provided with 8 longitudinal furrows, one of which forms 
the ventral single siphonoglyphe. 
Anatomical description. The ectoderm of the physa is 
high and without a cuticle. The cuticle of the scapus is thin, at its 
outside foreign bodies such as diatoms are sticking. The ectoderm 
of the scapus is rather thin. The nemathybomes contain 2 kinds 
of nematocysts, one kind larger and only a little narrower in one 
end than in the other, the other smaller with the broadest part in 
one end and the narrowest in the other, which is strongly acum-
