Colour: Column brownish-yellow, pinkish yellow, yellowish- 
green, green, duil gray, Tentacles bicoloured, proximal end deep 
purpie or orange, distal end bright dåret or yellow. Oral disk marked 
with brown streaks with regular white patches between (Stuckey). 
The single specimen preserved in formaline had the fronds blue- 
gray. The endoderm of the tentacles was almost black, the oral 
disc olive-brown. 
Dimensions. Diameter of the pedal disc about 3,5 cm and 
of the oral disc about 7 cm, height of the column 7 cm. 
Occurrence. Cape Maria van Diemen. In a rock pool. 4.1.1915. 
15 specimens. 
New Zealand. Plimmerton (teste Stuckey), Manakau harbour 
(teste Stuckey andWalton). 
Exterior aspect. The pedal disc is well developed but con- 
siderably narrower than the oral disc. The column is cuplike and 
strongly enlarged at the distal end, which is folded. The two upper 
thirds of the column are provided with sucking warts {Urticina- 
verrucae), in the largest part of the warts-region arranged in long¬ 
itudinal rows corresponding to the compartments. In the undermost 
part the warts are sparse, higher up they stand more close, in the 
uppermost part they inerease rapidly in number at the same time 
as they diminish considerably in size. Here they are arranged 
on several peduneulate bunches forming together “fronds"-like for¬ 
mations in all compartments (textfig. 18). In the lower part of these 
“fronds" the warts are not so numerous as in the distal end. 
In the compartments corresponding to the exocoels the “fronds" 
contain about 30—40 warts, in those corresponding to the endo- 
coels 130—140 or more. The endocoel-“fronds“ are thus mostly more 
than twice as long as the exocoel-fronds and extend a good deal 
further towards the tentacles than these. There is no distinet limit 
between the larger warts and the warts in the “fronds", as some 
warts in the undermost part of the “fronds" form a transition in 
size to the larger warts of the column. The tentacles are about 
192, hexamerously arranged. They are short, conical and in pre¬ 
served State distinetly longitudinally furrowed, the outer are some-
