Polyperne have fuldstændigt den samme Karakter 
som de 3 forhen beskrevne Exemplarer. Kalkaxen ligesaa. 
Paa disse 4 Exemplarer, der ere fundne paa samme 
Lokalitet, er Farven den samme. Den bulbøse Del er 
brunlig, spillende lidt i det Violette. Stilken bleg gulbrun. 
Rachis som Bulbus. Polypernes Krop violet-brunlig med 
mørkebrune Længdestriber. Tentaklerne paa den aborale 
Flade brungule med et violet Anstrøg; paa den nederste 
Halvdel af den adorale Flade smuk kastaniebrune. Mund- 
skiven lys brungul. Læberne kastaniebrune. Tab. IX,

Stilken, der paa den øverste Trediedel danner en 
udstrakt S-formet Bue, er overtrukken med Slim og 580"” 
lang fra Grunden til Rachis. Den nederste, bulbøse Del 
er 957” lang, indkneben paa Midten, hvor den er 5”” bred; 
i det øverste Parti opnaar den en Tykkelse af 6”” og i 
det nederste af 7”, hvilket sidste ender i en oval Skraaflade, 
som løber ud 1 en Spids, Fig. 20% Fra den bulbøse Del, 
der er fladtrykt mod Dorsal- og Ventralfladen og uigjen- 
nemsigtig, bliver Stilken alt smalere og smalere, dreier sig 
efter Længden og antager en rund Form, indtil den 45”” 
fra Rachis, hvor den knapt er 2”” tyk, begynder at udvide 
sig skedeformigt og bøier sig stærkt op til Rachis, 1 hvil-

The polyps have exactly the same characteristics as 
in the three previously described specimens. The same 
may be said of the calcareous axis. 
In these four specimens; which were found in the 
same locality; the colour is the same. The bulbous por- 
tion is brownish, with a tendency to pass into violet colour. 
The stem is pale yellow-brown. The rachis is of the same 
colour as the bulb. The body of the polyps is brownish 
violet, with dark brown longitudinal stripes. The tentacles 
on the aboral surface, are brownish yellow, with a violet

The stem, forms in its superior third part, an elong- 
ated S-formed arc, and is enveloped by mucous; and it 
measures 580”” in length from the base to the rachis. 
The inferior bulbous portion, is 95” long, and is con- 
stricted at the middle, at which point, it has a breadth 
of 57”. whilst its superior portion attains a breath of 67”, 
This 
portion terminates in an ovate sloping surface, which pro- 
jects in a point (Pl. VII, fig. 20 %). From the bulbous 
part, which is flattened towards the 
surfaces, and is, also, opaque; the stem becomes narrower 
and the inferior portion a breadth of 7”. inferior

round form up to a point about 45”” from the rachis, 
where, it is barely 2”” thick, and here, it begins to dilate 
in sheath-form, and curves sharply up to the rachis, into 
which it passes over, and at this point attams a breadth

The rachis is 20”” long, and is twisted laterally. 
It dilates in a chalice form for a height of about 127”, 
where, it assumes a breadth of 107” (Pl. VI, fig. 15, a), 
but then diminishes, rapidly, in breadth, so that, at the 
rounded extremity, it is only 4” thick (PI. VI, fig. 15,0). 
The ventral surface is almost flat, and somewhat 
concave towards the extremity. It is, everywhere, closely 
beset with zooids, which, however, are more compactly 
placed towards the sides; whilst, the axis appears visible 
in the mesial part; where, the zooids are much dispersed

The dorsal surface is somewhat arched; is nearly hor- 
izontal; and about 5”” broad. It is closely beset with 
zooids; and, from it, 6 lancet-formed zooidal areas proceed, 
prolonging themselves between the polyps; and, extending
