7 mm 
gerste er 35”” lang, bred med 35”” lange Ten- 
takler, og den mellemste er 25” lang, 5””" bred og har 
20”” lange Tentakler. Udenfor disse 3 dorsal-laterale Po- 
lyper staa 2 lidt uregelmæssigt stillede Polyper, fig. 24, 
3, 3. Kroppen er 30”” lang, 5”” bred, Tentaklerne 30” 
lange, og atter udenfor men ligesom afvexlende med dem 
sees to Polyper, fig. 24, 4, 4, hvis Krop er 35”” lang, 7” 
bred; Tentaklerne af Kroppens Længde. Endelig er der i 
den yderste Række 5 store Polyper, der ere stillede i en 
Halvkreds, saaledes at de gaa fra Midten af Dorsalfladen 
til henimod Ventralfladen, fig. 24, 5,5,5,5,5. Disse Polyper 
ere 40”” lange, 7"” brede med 35”” lange Tentakler og 
udgjøre i Forening med de 4 foregaaende de egentlige la- 
terale Polyper.. 
Til høire Side af Centralpolyperne sees en svagt 
krumbøiet Række af 4 Polyper, fig. 24, 6, 6, 6, 6, hvoraf 
de 3 ere 25”” lange, 6”” brede med Tentakler af Krop- 
pens Længde; den 4de, som er meget mindre, staar imellem 
og er 15”” lang, 3”" tyk og med 15”” lange Tentakler. 
Udenfor denne Række findes en ligeledes krumboiet, dannet 
af 4 Polyper, fig. 24, 7, 7, 7, 7, hvis Krop er 35"" lang, 
5”” bred og med Tentakler lige lange som Kroppen; uden- 
om denne Række staar den halvkredsformige, bestaaende 
af 5 store Polyper, fig. 24, 8, fuldkommen lig den paa 
venstre Side, hvortil den slutter sig, dog saaledes, at paa 
Ventralfladen bliver et Mellemrum af 7”” Bredde, hvorved 
Kredsen her afbrydes. 
Den bilaterale Symetri er paa dette Exemplar mere 
iginefaldende end paa det foregaaende, men den er dog 
langtfra saa udpræget som paa de yngre Individer. De 
ydre 10 store, laterale Polyper ere stillede i en Ring, der 
kun er afbrudt paa Ventralfladen, fig. 24; indenfor denne 
Ring ere Polyperne grupperede omkring eller rettere til 
Siderne af Centralpolyperne temmelig uregelmæssigt; dog 
kunne de, naar Fantasien tages lidt til Hjælp, ordnes i 
to Kredse, den ene indenfor den anden; men hvad der paa 
dette Exemplar har bevaret mere af den oprindelige bilate- 
rale Form, end Tilfældet er paa No. 8, tør 
Omstendighed, at Rachis paa langt nær er saa fordreiet, 
i Forening med, at det sandsynligvis er en yngre Polyp- 
stok.

Omendskjont denne indtager en større Længde, er 
dog Polypernes Antal mindre, ligesom de ere smækrere 
og synes i det Hele taget ikke at være saa udviklede som 
paa No. 8, idet mange af de indre Polyper ere uden Kjøns- 
organer. De to ydre Rækker have udviklede Testikler. 
Polyperne ere cylindriske, lidt tykkkere ved Grunden,

of which, the anterior polyp, next the ventral surface, 
measures 15”” in length, and 3”" in breadth, and the 
tentacles have the same length as the body (fig. 24). 
The posterior polyp measures 35”” in length, and 7”” in 
breadth, and the tentacles measure 35”” in length. The 
mesial polyp 2 length, and 5 in 
breadth, and the tentacles are 20”” long. Outside of these 
3 dorso-lateral polyps, 2 somewhat irregularly placed polyps 
are situated (fig. 24, 3, 3). Their body is 30” long 
and 5”” broad, and the tentacles measure 30”” in length; 
measures in mm 
and, again, outside of these polyps, but, as it were, al- 
ternating with them; 2 polyps are seen (fig. 24, 4, 4), 
whose body measures 35”” in length, and 7”” in breadth, 
and the tentacles have the same length as the body. 
Finally, there are, in the exterior series, 5 large polyps, 
which are placed in a semicircle, in such manner, that 
they proceed from the middle of the dorsal surface, to the 
immediate proximity of the ventral surface (fig. 24,5, 5,5, 5,5). 
These polyps are 40”" long, and 7”” broad, and the ten- 
tacles measure 35”” in length; in conjunction with the 
preceding polyps, they form the actual lateral polyps. 
On the right side of the central polyps, there is seen, 
a slightly curved series of 4 polyps (fig. 24, 6, 6, 6, 6), 
of which, 3 measure 25”” in length, and 6”” in breadth, 
and the tentacles have the same length as the body. The 
4” polyp is much smaller, and is situated between; it 
measures 15”” in length, and 3”” in thickness, and the 
tentacles measure 15”” in length. Outside of this series, 
there is seen another, also curved, series of 4 polyps (fig. 
24, 7, 7, 7, 7). Their body measures 35”” long, and 5”” 
broad, and the tentacles have the same length as the body; 
and, outside of this series, the semicircular formed series, 
consisting of 5 large polyps (fig. 24, 8), is situated, exactly 
like the series on the left side with which it unites, but, 
in such manner, that there remains on the ventral surface, 
an interval of 7”” in breadth, by which the circle is, here, 
interrupted. 
The bilateral symmetry is, in this specimen, more 
prominent than in the preceding one, but, it is still far 
from being so distinct as in the younger individuals. The 
exterior 10 large lateral polyps, are arranged in a ring, 
which is only interrupted on the ventral surface (fig. 24). 
Inside this ring, the polyps are grouped, around, or more 
correctly, to the sides of the central polyps, rather irregularly, 
but may, however, with å little imaginative assistance, be ar- 
ranged in 2 rings, the one inside of the other; but what has 
preserved in this specimen, more of the original bilateral 
arrangement than is the case in No. 8 specimen, may be 
the circumstance, that the rachis is not nearly so twisted, 
in conjunction with the fact, that it is, probably, a young 
polyp-stalk. Although this has a greater length, the polyps 
are, yet, less numerous, and are, also, more slender, and 
they appear altogether, not to be so developed as in No. 
8 specimen, because, many of the inner polyps have no 
sexual organs. The two outer series have, developed 
testicles. 
The polyps are cylindric, and a little thicker at the
