Gonosome.—Gonophores growing either from the stem or the hydrorhiza attached by short annu- lated pedicels; gonangia strongly corrugated, each corrugation with a distinct keel; oval, truncate at the distal end. Distribution.—On floating sargassum from the seaward side of Bogue Bank. I can see no good reason for separating Clytia bicophora Agassiz from Clytia johnsloni (Alder). They seem to agree in every particular. Clytia longicyatha (Allman). Obelia longicyatha Allman, Mem. Mus. Comp.

Revue Suisse de Zoologie, 1893. p. 28. Trophosome.—"Hydrocaulus attaining the height of nearly an inch, fascicled below, alternately branched; main stem annulated for a short distance above each ramulus; ramuli annulated at their origin; hydrothecal peduncles of moderate length, more or less annulated. Fig. 17.—Clytia johnstonii^AWAei). A, hydrothecaand gonangium growing from the stolon; B, gouangium growing from the pedicel. Hydrothecal narrow, deep, nearly cylindrical above and then tapering toward the base; the orifice cut into about 20 acute, deep, narrow ; (Allman.) Gonosome.—Gonangia with smooth walls, borne on the hydrorhiza or the stem, inclosing the deep bell- shaped medusa buds, arranged on the blastostyle in pairs, the one opposite the other. Length of gonangium I to mm., diameter mm. (From Pictet.) Distribution.—On floating sargassum off Bogue Bank; on sponge dredged by Fish Hawk. Allman described this species from Florida without finding the gonosome and judged it to be Obelia. Later Pictet found what he considered to be the same species from the Bay of Amboine, with the gonosome present. This showed it to be a Clytia instead of an Obelia. There seems little doubt that this is Allman's species, although the depth of the hydrotheca is not so great as in All- 'nan's specimens
