gersto or 35""" lang, 7""" bred mod 35""" lange
Tentakler, og den mellemste or 25""" lang, 5""" brod og har
20’"’" lange Tontakler. Udenfor disse 3 dorsal-laterale [-Polype]’-] {+Po-
lype]’+} staa 2 lidt uregelmæssigt stillede Polyper, lig. 24,
3, 3. Kroppen or 30"" lang, 5— brod, Tentaklerne 30"""
lange, og atter udenfor mon ligesom afvexlende med dem
sees to Polyper, fig. 24, 4, 4, hvis Krop er 35""" lang, 7"""
bred; Tentaklerne af Kroppens Længde. Endelig or der i
don yderste Række 5 store Polyper, der ere stillede i en
Halvkreds, saaledes at do gaa fra Midten af Dorsalfladen
til henimod Ventralfladen, tig. 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
laterale Polyper.
Til hoire Side af Contralpolypome sees en svagt
kinmbøiet Række af 4 Polyper, fig. 24, (5, (5. 6, 6, hvoraf
de 3 ere 25""" lange, 6""" brecle mod Tentaklen af
Kroppens 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 krumbøiet, dannet
af 4 Polyper, fig. 24, 7, 7, 7, 7, hvis Krop er 35""" lang,
5""" brod og med Tentakler lige lange som Kroppen;
udenom denne Række staar don halvkredsformige, bestaaende
af 5 store Polyper, flg. 24, 8, fuldkommen lig den paa
venstre Side, hvortil don slutter sig, dog saaledes, at paa
Ventralfladen bliver et Mellemrum af 7""" Bredde, hvorved
Kredsen her afbrydes.
Don bilaterale Symetri er paa dette Exemplar mere
iøinefaldcnde 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 or afbrudt paa Ventralfladen, flg. 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
bilaterale. Fonn, ond Tilfældet or paa No. 8, tør være den
Omstændighed, at Rachis paa langt nær or saa fordreiet,
i Forening med, at det sandsynligvis er en yngre
Polypstok. Omendskjønt 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
Kjons-organer. Do 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 7mm in
breadth, and the tentacles measure 35""" in length. The
mesial polyp measures 25""" in 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;
and, again, outside of these polyps, but, as it were,
alternating 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).
Those polyps are 40""" long, and 7""" broad, and the
tentacles 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 thi’ 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, hero,
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 a little imaginative assistance, be
arranged 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
