In his report upon the Thaliacea of the Plankton Expedition, Apstein (1894, b) describes a single specimen (fig. 133) which he took to be an aggregated zooid, but which proves to be a solitary Fig. 133.—Tramstedtia multitentaculata, solitary form, viewed from the left side, x diameters. from apstein (1894, 6). It differs markedly from our specimen but still seems to belong to the same species. He describes a single dorsal crest, but his only speci- men was strongly laterally compressed, so the two crests, if present, may have appeared as one. The test was greatly thickened ventrally and his figure shows lines connecting the anterior and posterior edges of the crest with the thickened area of ventral test, just as we have shown them for our specimen. The form of the body is evidently quite similar in Apstein's specimen and ours. Apstein describes and figures four pairs of "tentacles" corresponding to the larger four pairs in our specimen. He does not describe the other five similar but less developed structures which we show in our form. He may have overlooked them, for they are not Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
