Medusae of the world . —LIRIOPE. 423 This medusa is common at the Tortugas Islands, Florida, and in the Bahamas. It ismost abundant, however, in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina; a few battered specimenshave been found at Newport, Rhode Island, late in the summer. Brooks, 1886, gives an excellent figure of the mature medusa and a detailed account of itsdevelopment from the egg. The development is direct. A delamination gastrula is formed.
