The polypidom is 100 mm. long and 0.630 mm. broad, rather slender, and flexible. The upper extremity slightly
dilated; the lower part terminating in an oblong bulbus, 0.550 mm. broad. The rachis, 70 mm. in length and 0.280 mm. in
breadth, bears 50 fully developed polyps, and between these a multitude of non-developed; along the lowermost part of the
rachis 2 series of non-developed polyps, 10 in each.

The sarcosoma of the polypidom beset all over with calcareous needles similar to those in the cells; they are from
0.196 mm. to 0.205 mm. in length.
The axis round and flexible, 0.136 mm. broad, extending from the upper extremity of the polypidom to about i mm.
