øvrige, nemlig 30”" lang, 6"”” bred og med 25”” lange 
Tentakler. 
Endnu paa dette temmeligt udviklede Exemplar har 
man en bilateral Ordning af Polyperne, omendskjønt det 
ved en overfladisk Betragtning ser ud, som om Polyperne 
ere stillede i en kredsformig Dusk uden al Symetri. Det 
er først ved at legge Polyperne meget omhyggelig ud fra 
hverandre, at den bilaterale Ordning kommer tilsyne. 
Polyperne ere.cylindriske, have paa deres ydre Flade, 
som alle de foregaaende, 8 gulbrune Linier, der betegne 
Insertionsstederne for de 8 Septa paa den indre Krops- 
flade. Igjennem Kropsvæggen skinner det lange, stærkt 
foldede Sveelg. 
beskrevne, hvilket ogsaa er Tilfældet med Mundskiven 
og den 8 læbede Mund. Kun den ydre Række (9) Polyper 
har udviklede Generationsorganer med Æg 1 forskjellige 
Stadier. 
Tentaklerne ere som paa de tidligere 
Axen ender nedentil med en liden Klump lige i Bunden; 
den dreier sig i lange Spiraler efter Længden til op imod 
den skedeformige Udvidning, hvor Spiralerne blive kortere. 
Paa Spiritusexemplarer, hvor Coenenchymet er sam- 
menfaldt, er Stilken firkantet. 
Farven. 
Den bulbøse Del er næsten kastaniebrun men bliver 
lysere op imod dens øverste Parti, saa at hele Stilken samt 
Rachis er straagul, spillende lidt idet brunlige. Polyperne 
lys-kastaniebrune; Tentaklerne lidt lysere paa den aborale 
Flade men mørkere paa Halvdelen af den adorale Flade 
samt Mundskiven. Mundlæberne lys-gulbrune.

Stilken fra Grunden til Rachis 1480”” lang. Den 
bulbøse Del er tenformig, fladtrykt paa Ventral- og Dorsal- 
fladen, 500”” lang; dens nederste Del er omtrent 50”” i Om- 
kreds, ender i en ovoid Flade, der løber udi en stump Spids, 
men tiltager opad lidt i Tykkelse, indtil den temmelig plud- 
selig udvider sig og indtager da en Omkreds af 100”". Nu 
round, nearly, the whole rachis, as both the series unite 
with each other, leaving only, a breadth of 6”" of the 
ventral surface exposed. The polyp which actually unites 
these two series together about the middle of the dorsal 
surface, is a little smaller than the others, being 30”” long, 
and 6”” broad, and the tentacles 25”” in length. 
Still, in this pretty fully developed specimen, we find 
a bilateral arrangement of the polyps; although, on a super- 
ficial observation it appears, as if the polyps are arranged 
in a crescent-formed tuft, without any symmetry. It is 
only, when the polyps are carefully separated apart from 
each other, that the bilateral arrangement becomes ap- 
parent. 
The polyps are cylindric, and like all the previous 
specimens, have 8 brownish-yellow lines on their exterior 
surface, denoting the points of imsertion for the 8 septa 
on the inner surface of the body. The long, much 
folded gullet, appears visible through the wall of the body. 
The tentacles are like those of the specimens already 
described; and, this is also, the case with the oral disk, 
and the oral aperture with it's 8 labiæ. The outer 
series (9) of polyps alone, has generative organs developed, 
containing ova in various stages. 
The axis terminates beneath, in a smail lump, situated 
quite at the bottom; it twists itself in long longitudinal 
spirals until in proximity to the sheath-formed dilation, at 
which point the spirals become shorter. 
In the specimens preserved in alcohol, the sarcosoma 
is shrunk, and the stem appears quadrangular. 
Colour, 
The bulbous portion is almost chestnut brown, but 
becomes lighter up towards the superior portion,so that the 
entire stem, as well as the rachis, is straw-yellow, tending 
a little to brownish colour. The polyps are å light chestnut 
brown colour. The tentacles are a little lighter on the 
aboral surface, but darker on the half portion of the ador- 
al surface and oral disk. The labiæ of the oral aperture 
are light-brown yellow.
