Di agn osi s. Column with rather well developed verrucae in 
the upper part of the column. No sphincter. Tentacles cylindrical, 
up to 48. Actinopharynx with two siphonoglyphes forming well 
developed aboral prolongations. Pairs of mesenteries up to 24. 
Between the stage of 12 pairs and that of 24 pairs there is often 
an intermediate octomerous stage, which is at least mostly (perhaps 
always) transient. Development of the mesenteries of the third order 
from the dorsal towards the ventral side. 2 pairs of directives. All 
or almost all mesenteries perfect and fertile. Parietobasilar muscles 
very strong forming a distinet fold inwards and reaching almost to 
the distal body-end, with muscle meshes also in the mesogloea. 
Nematocysts of the column 14—19 x 1,5 those of the tentacles 
19—29 X 1 ^ 5 —about 2 those of the actinopharynx partly (24) 
26 38 X 2 , 5 —3 (3,6)//, part^y 19—26X3,5— 4/i, the latter broader 
at the basal end, spirocysts of the tentacles 12 x 1 —24 x about 2 fi. 
Colour variable. Column grayish, grayish-white, white, olive- 
green, the proximal part often paler, sometimes rose-coloured, distal 
part sometimes deep carmine-purplish-red with numerous vertical 
lines of darker red, verrucae rose-white (eruentata), dirty white (Å. 
dichogama), rose-red (B. kerguelensis). Tentacles clive-green or olive- 
gray sometimes in the distal part carmine-coloured or deep carmine 
with spots of gray or intense rose blood-red (eruentata) — purpie 
(B. kerguelensis). 
Dimensions in preserved State to about 3 cm long and 1,5 
cm broad, length of the tentacles 0 , 5 —0,6 cm. The largest spec- 
imen from Auckland Island was 2,8 cm long and 1,7 cm broad, and 
the length of the tentacles 0 , 5 —0,6 cm.
