Di-ifa glomerate Yemll Ovum and two planulte taken from one of the polyp bodies: one only in outline. Much enlarged. The spicules of the cortex of the branches are of various forms and sizes, and are mostly covered with very prominent, mostly obtuse lobes and irregular prominences (PI. XV, figs. 1, a-t), so that they are apt to interlock and cling together m clusters when cleaned. Some of the larger forms are stout, regular spindles, but the more abundant ones, of the larger sizes, are short, irregular, blunt forms (a, b, d, g), many of them being subclavate, hke (c, f, h, i); others have a median smooth zone, (j, k); but much greater numbers are much smaller, irregular spindles (m, o), double heads and double stellate forms and other forms with a median narrow naked zone and few relatively high prominences, appearing stellate when seen endwise (q, r, t); many form's occur that are not figured. The largest specimen and a small one were taken in Richmond gulf, about three miles from the entrance, east side of Hudson bay, on a bottom of stones and sand, in 25 fathoms, Aug. 27, 1920. The other specimen was taken near the same place, four miles from the entrance, in 10 to 20 fathoms, stones and algae, Aug. 24, 1920, by F. Johansen. These specimens agree in form and mode of bi'anching with the Eunephthya fl
