The broad nematocysts with visible basal part to the spiral thread 
were extraordinarily sparse. In the specimens from North Cape and 
Slipper Island there were also some broader nematocysts, often ir- 
regular, probably developmental stages of the typical nematocysts. 
Besides this species there were in a glass from New Zealand, 
Puhoi Rock, Hauraki Gulf (littoral under stones. 29.12.1914) some 
small specimens, the largest of which I have examined. The ten- 
tacles were 40 in number, the sphincter recalls that given in the 
textfig. 14 of Bunodactis rubro-fusca, the size of the nematocysts in 
the column was 13—14 x 1 , 5 —almost 2 //, in the tentacles 19—24 
X almost 2— 2,5 jti, in the actinopharynx 34—41 x about 3,5 fiy the 
spirocysts in the tentacles 8—16 x almost 1 — 1,5 fi. The endoderm 
lacks Zooxanthellae. Owing to the large nematocysts m the actino¬ 
pharynx the species does not belong to rubro-fusca, but I will not 
give this species a name as the specimens were badly preserved, 
wherefore the description must be incomplete.

Di agn osi s. Pedal disc rather wide. Column pillarlike provided 
in the upper part with distinet verrucae, in their configuration agreeing 
with those in Urticina. Margin distinet with a small fossa. At the 
margin 24 or more distinet marginal sphaerules. Sphincter palmate 
circumscript with comparatively few, but ramificated folds. Tentacles 
short, conical from 48 to about 70. Actinopharynx with numerous 
longitudinal ridges and two siphonoglyphes with well developed aboral 
prolongations. Mesenteries more numerous than tentacles. Pairs 
of mesenteries from 48 to about 76, hexamerously arranged. 2 pairs 
of directives. Mesenteries of the first, second and at least part 
of the third perfeet, those of the first and second order fertile; of 
the mesenteries of the fourth order those situated at the mesenteries 
of the second order developed earlier than those at the first. Pen¬ 
nens of the mesenteries diffuse with rather low, often richly rami¬ 
ficated folds. Parietobasilar muscles broad, forming a distinet fold 
inwards. Nematocysts of the column partly 12—14 x l partly 
^ 2, the latter sparse, those of the marginal sphaerules
