(From below, see Text-fig. 21 e.) of cormidium VII, at the oral end of the cormidium. These secondary branches form a regular pattern and consist of later developed tripartite groups of appendages (Text-fig. 12). To leeward (PI. XV, fig. 3) they arise from the base of the second group, which becomes incorporated into the ventral wall of each cormidial section of the float; aborally (PI. XVI, fig. 3) they can spring from the peduncles of the fourth lateral group et seq. The branch at the oral end, when present, springs from the base of the gonodendron of the first group.
