Report on the scientific results of the voyage of "Scotia" during the years 1902, 1903 and 1904, under the leadership of William SBruce . FIG. 8.—Antennopsis scotia-. (a) Portion of hydroclade showing thecate and athecate internodes, arid arrangement of nematothec*. x 65. (b) Gouotheca. x 45. distance of some 073 mm., and thus forming a close-set coat round the branches. Inconsequence of the delicacy of the hydrothecal margins a perfect hydrotheca is rare, butwhere such occurs it shows a slight widening at the mouth. An important addition has to be made to the previous description of the trophosomeas regards the number of the nematophores accompanying the hydrotheca. Besides themedian proximal nematophore and the lateral pair surmounting the processes which runalongside the hydrotheca, there is a supplementary lateral pair, the individuals of which,one on each side of the hydrotheca, rest on the upper surface of the lateral processalmost in the corner formed between it and the internode (fig. 8). These nematophores,although of similar structure to, are considerably smaller than, the others, and are sodelicate that the
