ligge næsten paa hinanden. Samtlige Celler sees væsent- 
ligst fra Dorsalsiden. 
Cellerne ere med deres indre Væg fastvoxede til 
Rachis. De ere fra 2—47” lange og meget brede, næsten 
buget foroven, hvor deres vide Aabning, der er aflang efter 
Bredden, har paa den ydre, fri Rand 2—5 lancetformige 
Tænder med en meget bred Basis, Fig. 3. Celleveeggen 
er opfyldt af stavformige, trekantede, tæt paa hinanden 
liggende, dels vandklare, dels svagt rosenrøde Spikler, som 
ere fra 0,445—0,625”” lange, fra 0,027—0,045”” brede, 
Fig. 5; stundom iagttages imellem disse lange Spikler nogle 
smaa, der ere 0,179”” lange, 0,010”” brede, Fig. 6. 
Dorsalfladen og de laterale Flader ere tæt besatte 
med Zooider uden synderlig Regelmæssighed, Fig. 3, 4; 
tættest staa de langs Dorsalfladens Midtlimie, Fig. 3.  Yderst 
til Siderne ordne de sig mere i paatversgaaende, lidt uregel- 
mæssige Rækker, Fig. 4, der synes at gaa fra Dorsal- mod 
Ventralfladen. Zooiderne ere 0,402”” lange, 0,178”” brede 
og omgivne af spindelformige Kalkspikler, som ere 0,446"” 
lange, 0,018”” brede, bleg-rosenrøde og ordnede pyramide- 
formigt i en Spids. 
Af de uudviklede Cellerækker er der 17 til hver Side, 
hvori der er 3 Celler, 2—3'  Rækker med 2 Celler i hver, 
og saa kommer 3—4 enkeltstaaende Celler. 
Ventralfladen har et lidt hvælvet, 17” bredt, nøgent 
Belte, til hvis Sider sees de før omtalte Zooider, Fig. 2. 
Polyperne ere cylindriske, deres Krop er omtrent 
2mm Jang, næsten vandklar og uden Spikler. Tentaklerne 
ere 2—3 Gange saa lange som Kroppen og have paa deres 
aborale Flade, ligefra Grunden til Spidsen, en Rekke 
valseformige Spikler, der ere 0,268”" lange, 0,027”” brede: 
kun paa en Tentakel vare Spiklerne svagt rosenrøde, ellers 
vare de ufarvede. 
Sarcosomaet er især paa Rachis temmelig tyndt, og dets 
ydre Bindevæv er opfyldt dels med røde, dels med ufarvede 
Spikler af samme Form og Størrelse som de, der ere om- 
talte ved Cellerne. I det nøgne Belte paa Ventralfladen 
ligge Spiklerne spredte enkeltvis efter Længden, Fig. 7. 
I Stilken er Sarcosomaet tykkere, og her er dets vdre 
Bindevæv fuldtpakket af trekantede, farveløse Spikler, der

ones are observed, and these measure 0.179”” long, and 
0.0107” broad (fig. 6). 
The dorsal’ surface, and the lateral surfaces are, 
closely beset with zooids, without these haying any con- 
siderable regularity (figs. 3, 4), but they are situated 
closest, along the mesial line of the dorsal surface (fig. 3).

The ventral surface has a somewhat arched, bare

(fig. 2) previously spoken of, are observed. 
The polyps are cylindrical; their body is about 
2mm long, almost clear as water and devoid of spicules. 
The tentacles are 2—3 times as long as the body, and, 
upon their aboral surface, they have, extending right from 
the base to the point, a series of roller-shaped spicules 
which are 0.268” long, and 0.0277" broad; only upon one 
tentacle, were the spicules a faint rosy-red colour, otherwise, 
they were colourless. 
The sarcosoma is rather thin, especially, upon the 
rachis, and its exterior connective-tissue is filled up with,
