A specimen from St. 1644 (total length 15-5 cm., text-fig. 3, 6) shows that new buds may also arise on the dorso-lateral sides of the primary polyp ( also on the axis), ventrally between, or a little below, the lowermost pair of secondary autozooids. This development leads to the formation of a cluster like that figured in text-fig. 3, 7 from a specimen with total length 86 cm. (St. 366, no. 5 of the table). Here the lower part o

This development leads to the formation of a cluster like that figured in text-fig. 3, 7 from a specimen with total length 86 cm. (St. 366, no. 5 of the table). Here the lower part of the rachis has a bowl-like shape, and the secondary autozooids are situated along its brim. The axis enters the centre of the bowl at the bottom, but from here it follows the dorsal side of the rachis in a deep and narrow furrow to the brim between two dorsal secondary autozooids, bends inwards and ends in the basi- dorsal wall of the primary polyp, which has been displaced into the central field by the growth of the whorl of secondary autozooids. oOo o*o oOq 000 1?, o 9 n. 0 &0 0 m Q 0 oo.
