DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES 63 These do not seem to be entirely satisfactory distinctions, and the difficulty arises from the in- complete description of T. propinquum given by Herdman (1886). Arnback, however, was convinced that the two species are distinct, and there is no doubt that the 'Discovery' specimen belongs to T. auriculatum. Distribution. Subantarctic (Strait of Magellan; Guaitecas Islands, Chile; Falkland Islands). Table 19 T. propinquum T. auriculatum Zooids Short Long and slender Abdom

Trididemnum auriculatum Michaelsen (St. WS 84): A, zooid; B, larva. There are also in the collections several colonies of didemnid ascidians which I am unable to place, even in their correct genus, because the zooids have no gonads. It would be very unwise to try to name these specimens using other characters, because with few exceptions the nature of the testis and sperm duct is almost essential for the determination of genera and species in this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
