med Zooider. 
Dorsalfladen har et Midtparti, der er næsten plant, 
og to Sideflader, der ere temmelig brede og skraane åf 
imod Ventralfladen. Saavel Dorsalfladen som Lateralfla- 
derne ere tæt besatte med Zooider, der danne 8 lancet- 
formige Felter imellem Polyperne. 
Terminalpolypen udspringer ved den knopformige Ende 
af Rachis paa Dorsalfladen, Hig. 26, 1*; den er 25”” lang, 
5” tyk; Tentaklerne 30””" lange; strax bagenfor (nedenfor) 
denne staar en liden Polyp, 16”” lang, 3””" tyk; Tentak- 
lerne 12”” lange, Fig. 26, 1; omtrent 1”” bagenfor denne 
lille Polyp sees en Polyp, der er 21”” lang, 3.5”” tyk; 
Tentaklerne 18”” lange, Fig. 26, 1, og endelig staar bagen- 
for denne 3die Polyp en 4de, der er 26”” lang, 5”” bred; 
Tentaklerne 30”” lange, fig. 26, b. Disse 4 Polyper staa 
i en lige Rekke og danne de centrale Dorsalpolyper. Her 
er en Afvigelse, idet her er 4 Centralpolyper, imedens hos 
alle de 5 foregaaende kun har været 3. Et Par Mm. til 
venstre Side af den 3die Centralpolyp (Endepolypen er 
den Åste) staar en liden Polyp ganske isoleret; den er 
15”” lang, 2”" bred; Tentaklerne lige lange som Krop- 
pen, Fig. 26, 2, og noget foran (ovenfor) men til Siden sees 
to Polyper 1 næsten lige Linie, Fig. 26, 3, 3, af hvilke den 
forreste, nærmest Ventralfladen, er 15”” lang, 3”” bred 
med 15”” lange Tentakler, og den bagerste er 22”” lang, 
4”” bred, Tentaklerne 22”” lange. Udenfor disse iagttages en 
lidt krumbøiet Række af 5 Polyper, Fig. 26, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 
hvoraf de 4 ere lige store, nemlig 35”” lange, 7”” brede 
med 40”” lange Tentakler, imedens den 5te, der staar 
imellem den Iste og 2den i Rekken, er kun 8”” lang, 
knap 1”” bred og med omtrent 8”” lange Tentakler. Til 
Siden, udenfor denne Række, staa 3 Polyper i en lidt 
uregelmæssigt krumbøiet Linie med et Par Mm.s Mellemrum, 
Fig. 26, 5, 5, 5; deres Krop er 40”” lang, 7—8”” bred og

betragtes som dorsal-laterale Polyper og omgives af 4 store, 
laterale Polyper, der staa i en Halykreds, Fig. 26, 6, 6, 
6, 6, ere fra 50—65”” lange, 10—12”” brede og med Ten- 
takler af 55”"s Længde. 
Til høire Side af Centralpolyperne i omtrent 2””s 
Afstand staar en Række af 7 Polyper, Fig. 26,7,7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 
hvoraf den forreste, nærmest Ventralfladen, er 32”” lang, 
6”" bred med 42”” lange Tentakler; den 2den er meget 
mindre, Kroppen 20”” lang, 3”” bred, Tentaklerne 20””

to the rounded extremity (fig. 26). It is closely beset 
with zooids. 
The dorsal surface has a middle part which is nearly 
flat, and two lateral surfaces which are rather broad, and 
slope off towards the ventral surface. Both, the dorsal 
surface as well as the lateral surfaces, are closely beset 
with zooids, which form 8 lanceolate areas between the 
polyps. 
“The terminal polyp has its orgiy beside the knob- 
formed extremity of the rachis, on the dorsal surface (fig. 
26, 1*). It is 25”” long, and 5”” thick, and the tentacles 
are 30”” long. Immediately behind (below) it, a small 
polyp is situated, which measures 16”” in length, and 3”” 
in thickness, and it’s tentacles are 12”” long (fig. 26, 1). 
About 1”” behind this little polyp, another polyp is ob- 
served, which is 21”” long, and 3.5”” thick, and. with 
tentacles 18”” long (fig. 26, 1) and, finally, behind this
