selve Spidsen, hvilket dog ikke er Tilfældet, thi den tager sit 
Udspring lidt under denne paa Dorsalfladen, Fig. 6, a*. 7,0. 
Polypkroppen er 8”” lang, 2” bred; Tentaklerne 9”” lange. 
Paa hver Side, strax nedenfor (under) Endepolypen, paa 
Dorsalfladen udspringe 2 Polyper, hvoraf de til høire Side, 
Fig. 6, b, b. 7, c, c, ere 14%” lange, 3”” brede, med 14"” 
lange Tentakler; de til venstre, Fig. 6, c, c. 7, d, d, ere 
11—12”” lange, Tentaklerne 147”, Tet under Endepoly- 
pen, omtrent paa Midten af Dorsalfladen, staar 2 Polyper, 
af hvilke den nederste er 6”” lang, 17” bred, med 7 
lange Tentakler, Fig. 6, d, imedens den øverste, nærmest 
Endepolypen, er 5” lang, med 7”” lange Tentakler, Fig. 
Og & Mo Se 
Alle Polyper have en cylindrisk, glat Krop, paa hvis 
udvendige Flade sees 8 hvide Linier, som ere Insertions- 
stederne for Septa. Igjennem Kropshuden sees det lange, 
stærkt foldede Svælg. 
Midte er Mundaabningen, der danner en Tverspalte med 
8 lancetformede Leber.’ 
Mundskiven er hvælvet, og i dens 
Tentaklerne ere næsten cylindriske, paa den adorale 
Flade tæt besat med yderst fine Papiller og forsynede 
paa hver Rand med koniske Pinnuler, der staa uregelmæs- 
sigt over for hverandre og have forskjellig Størrelse, saa- 
ledes at imellem to store staa sædvanligvis 1, stundom 2 
meget smaa. 
Axen er som hos No. 1.

Stilken, der paa den øverste Trediedel er næsten 
S-formigt bøiet, har en Længde af 160”” fra den nederste 
Ende til Rachis. Den nederste, bulbøse Del, som er no- 
get fladtrykt paa Ventral- og Dorsalfladen, er 48”” lang, 
noget indkneben paa Midten, 4”” bred foroven, og dens 
nederste Ende danner en ægformet Skraaflade, der løber ud 
i en Spids, Fig. 8; — hverken paa denne eller Skraafladen 
opdagedes nogen Pore. Stilkens øverste Del er stærkt krum- 
met og skedeformigt udvidet imod Rachis. Denne Udvid- 
ning er 7” lang, 2,5” bred øverst oppe, hvor der sees 
endel Zooider. 
Rachis er stærkt, næsten S-formigt boiet efter Læng- 
den, noget dreiet til Siden, 8”” lang, 4”” bred, og har en 
afrundet, fri Ende, Fig. 9, a. Ventralfladen er konvex og 
krummet S-formigt; paa Midten af dens nederste Del, der 
er glat og nøgen, skinner Axen igjennem, imedens den 
øverste Del og Siderne ere tæt besatte med Zooider, Fig.

ceeded from the point itself; but that is, however, not the 
case, becanse it originates a little below the point, on the dorsal 
surface (figs. 6, a@*. 7, b). The body of the polyp is 8”” long, 
and 2”” broad, and the tentacles are 97” long. On each side, 
immediately below (underneath) the terminal polyp on the 
dorsal surface; 2 polyps proceed, of which, those to the 
right side (figs. 6, b, b. 7, ¢, c), are 147” long, and 37” 
broad, with 14”” long tentacles; and those to the left 
side, (fig. 6; ¢, c. 7, d, d) are 11—19”” long, with 14” 
Jong tentacles. Close under the terminal polyp, and about 
the middle of the dorsal surface; 2 polyps are situated, 
of which, the lower one is 6”” long, and 1”” broad, with 
7” long tentacles (fig. 6, d); whilst the other, upper one, 
next the terminal polyp, is 5”” long, with 7”” long tentacles 
(Ges, OG, @ % i) 
All the polyps, have a cylindric, smooth body; on 
the exterior surface of which, 8 white lines are visible; 
these are the points of insertion for septa. - Through the 
integument of the body, the long, numerously folded gullet 
is seen. The oral disk is arched; and in its middle; the 
oral aperture occurs, and forms a transverse fissure, hav- 
ing 8 lancet formed labiæ. 
The tentacles are nearly cylindric; and on the adoral 
surface, are closely beset with extremely minute papillæ; 
and are furnished on each margin, with conical pinnules, 
situated irregularly, opposite each other; these are of varying 
size, so that in general, between two large, 1, and occasion- 
ally 2, very small ones, are placed. 
The axis is like that of No. I specimen.

The stem is curved on the superior third part, in 
nearly S-form; and, its length is 160”” from the inferior 
extremity to the rachis. The inferior bulbous part; which 
is somewhat flattened on the ventral and dorsal surface, 
is 48”” long; is somewhat constricted at the middle; and is 
4m broad above. It’s inferior extremity forms an ovate 
sloping surface, which projects im a poimt (PI. V, fig. 8). 
Neither upon it, nor on the sloping surface, were any 
pores detected. The superior part of the stem is strongly 
bent; and is dilated in sheath-form, towards the rachis. 
This dilation is 7”” long, and 2.5”” broad, at the super- 
ior termination; at which point, a number of zooids are 
visible. . 
The rachis is strongly bent, longitudinally; nearly in 
S-form; and is somewhat twisted laterally. It is 8”” 
long, and 4”” broad, and has a rounded free extremity 
(Pl. V, fig. 9,4). The ventral surface is convex, and bent 
in the form of an S. - In the middle of its inferior part; 
which is smooth, and bare; the axis appears visible; 
whilst, the superior part, and the sides, are closely beset
