Arrangement of tentacles and mesenteries in Edivardsia andresi (fig. 9), E. claparedii (fig. 10) and Milne- edwardsia loveni and carnea (fig. 11). In order to show the arrangement in pairs, the imperfect mesenteries are drawn as having pennons. In fact that is not the case. in Milne-edwardsia polaris. These clusters form weak batteries of nematocysts. In the g^rnxsEdwardsiaand Isoedwardsia the nematocysts of the scapus are more concentrated and enclosed in so-called nemathybo- mes, forming strong batteries of stinging capsules. The nemathybomes are now arranged in 8 longitudinal rows as in E. titberculata, claparedii and longicornis, now irregularly scattered as in E. vitrea, fmmarchica, sipunculoides, intermedia and others. Possibly there are more than 8 longitudinal rows in some species. The nemathybomes appear the most distinctly in the species with 8 rows. Here they are fewer in number, but commonly larger and form conspicuous tubercles on the scapus; on the other hand, if the nemathybomes are scattered they are smaller, but more numerous and projecting a little or not at all over the surface of the scapus, according as the con- traction of the animal is strong or weak. The nemathybomes form a capsule in the mesogloea and are filled with more or less numerous nematocysts and their mother-cells. The walls of the nemathybomes are formed by the mesogloea which is only perforated in the apex of the nemathybomes. Here the scapus- ectoderm is in connection with the nemathybomes, and through the aperture the nematocysts eject their.
