As seen from the literature of the species I regard Paran- 
theoides cruentata (Couth.), Ånemonia dichogama Kirk and Stuck., 
{Gyrostoma dichogama Stephens.), Bunodes kerguelensis Stud. and 
Condylactis crassa Pax as synonyms. Hardly anything in the descrip- 
tions given by Kirk and Stuckey contradicts that we have to do 
with a species of Parantheoides. Only the distribution of the repro- 
ductive organs, according to K. and S. present on several secondary 
mesenteries, speaks against such a supposition. I think, however, 
that it is not worth much attention. If Kirk’s and Stuckey’s 
statement of brood-pouches with embryos in specimens containing 
testes is right it is clear that the testes were not fully developed. 
The description of the brood-pouches is besides very curious. (“The 
embryo lies in a distinet brood-pouch occupying the whole thickness 
of the mesentery!“) The “false“ mesenteries from the wall of the 
actinopharynx, described by K. and S., are of course the sectioned 
inner parts of perfeet mesenteries, only with a lobe attached to the 
actinopharynx. To my mind Parantheoides cruentata and Ånemonia 
dichogama are the same species. 
I have also examined the type specimen of Bunodes kerguelensis 
and cannot find any distinet character, by which it could be sepa¬ 
rated from cruentata. Also P a x’s description of Condylactis crassa 
from Kerguelen indicates that it is one and the same species, having 
thus a very wide circumsubantarctic distribution. 
Bunodaetis vubvo-fusca n. sp. 
Di agn osi s. Pedal disc well developed. Column with longi¬ 
tudinal rows of rather small ^/rfc';za-verrucae, especially distinet 
in the upper part. Fossa deep. Sphineter rather weak to ordinarily 
developed, concentrated diffuse or palmate-circumscript. Tentacles 
cylindrical rather short, the outer almost as long as the inner, in 
numbers from 56 to about 100, often irregularly arranged. Longi¬ 
tudinal muscles of tentacles and radial muscles of oral disc ecto- 
dermal. Actinopharynx with numerous longitudinal furrows and ridges, 
and with 1—3 siphonoglyphes. Mesenteries more numerous than 
tentacles, in varying numbers to 122. 1—3 pairs of directives. 
Most mesenteries perfeet. Pennons diffuse ordinarily developed. 
Parietobasilar muscles strong, forming a very distinet fold inwards. 
Basilar muscles very strong. All stronger mesenteries excl. the
