The tentacle may either project freely on the surface (Trachynema\ or, as in G&ryonia, it may be placed in a vesicle (fig. 184) which lies in the gelatinous substance of the disc and close to the edge of the latter. Separate sexes are almost invariably the rule, but it is rare to find that the colonies are dkecious, , that male and female medusoids are developed in different colonies (Tubularia). Gemma- tion has occasionally been observed among the Medusa (Sarsia prolifera) and division (Sfomobrachium mirabile).
