(7) Since the inferior nectophores of Quoy and Gaimard's types apparently belong to the same species as the complete colony and three superior nectophores in Haeckel's ' Challenger' sample [in Coll.], she considers it appropriate to designate these as carina. From this I gather that Dr Sears regards Haeckel's ' Challenger' anterior nectophores (but not the posterior ones) and Quoy and Gaimard's type posterior nectophores (but not anterior ones) as Abyla.
