Particular stinging capsules of the stinging battery very numerous 53—75 x 11—13/.' thickness, in the region of the sphincter, however, very thick. The sphincter is very strong and recalls that of A. jan mayeni. The muscle meshes are small and now very closely packed, now more sparse; the sphincter shows, as far as I can see, no tendency to stratification. The endodermal circular muscles are weak. The ectoderm of the tentacles is high and probably contains no typical nematocysts, if really present they are very sparse. The outer tentacles are on the outside of the base provided with a stinging battery as in A. jan mayeni. The nematocysts are, however, smaller here and variate in both specimens between 53 and 75 // in length and II—13 PL in breadth. The spirocysts of the tentacles are extraordinarily numerous, between 22 X 2 to 55 X, 3,5 II. in size. The longitudinal muscles of the inner tentacles are much weaker on the outside of the base than on the inside. The inner folds are namely much closer and often more than double as high as the outer folds. They are often branched (textfig. 187 transverse section of inner tentacle).
