The colony was killed by the use of cocaine and formaline. When the animals were being anaesthetized a counting was made of their tentacles. In one case there were in all 57 (error certainly not more than 3), in another in a less favourable position 70 + (probably about 74). The average dimensions of the statoblasts are "8 X "64 mm., tlie length not including the length of the processes, each of which measures •32 mm. The central capsule measured in one case 0*52 x 0*44 mm. The process, w4iich is flattened in the same plane as the statoblast, is beset laterally with a double row of recurved hooks on each side, and these hooks extend to the edge of the expanded base of the process.
