Polygastric stage. The two nectophores, both of which are functional, though one is somewhat reduced or less developed than the other, fit in to one another to form a globular mass about 2 cm. in diameter. The basal part of the lateral and radial canals of the nectosac are hypertrophied as in Nlorv Nvest. Som srnm Text-fig. 46. Maresearsia praeclara , , lateral view, x 6-6. Beebe, Bermuda Oceanographic Expedition, 1929, i828(-o) m. The smaller nectophore has been restored to its original position. the other two species. The gastrozooids are large, and measure 3-5 mm. in length. A study of the figures (Pis. VI, VII fig. 1; Text-figs. 46, 47) will make an extended description of the nectophore unnecessary. Eudoxid stage. Many eudoxids are still attached to the holotype by long stalks. The bract is similar to that found in Amphicaryon acaule, but there is a lateral notch, and the two hydroecial canals curve round on themselves in a nearly circular course. The gonophores are of a type usually found in Prayids and are too sac-like to warrant detailed description. A minute description of the eudoxid is unnecessary at this stage, and figures (PI. VII, figs. 2-4; Text-fig. 48A) will be sufficient for its identification. „ , 13.
