There were present also detached nectophores of the adult (2-ridge) type. Mr Fraser-Brunnei's collection (Gulf of Aden). On the night of 26 November 1949, Mr Fraser- Brunner took at the surface, ten miles north-east of Alayu one young specimen (only two gastrozooids developed) that had still attached to it one nectophore of the larval (1-ridge) type, as well as a larval bract. It was associated with one detached nectophore of the adult (2-ridge) type. 'Discovery II' Station 1598, 460-300 m. (tropical Atlantic), 1 juv. ex. 1-5 cm. in length with one attached nectophore possessing a single longitudinal ridge on its lateral facets. It was associated with two more young specimens, one of which still had two bracts of the larval type attached near the. Text-fig. 26. Larval bracts of Agalma okenii from the Gulf of Aqaba. A:-J x 5; H1, H2 x 9. The numerals indicate that more than one view is given of a particular bract. penultimate gastrozooid. Four gastrozooids are present, a reduced terminal one—the protozooid, but no tentacle is visible—two functional gastrozooids and one well-developed bud. The bracts are similar to those shown in Text-fig. 26 D, E. Dr W. Beebe's collection (Bermuda, where the species appears to be plentiful). A young specimen numbered 312117, net 1314, and 1-5 cm. in length, has some larval type bracts, and only two functional gastrozooids. There is no sign of larval type tentilla and the budding nectophores all possess two longitudinal ridges on the lateral facets. Associated in the phial with this specimen were two unattached nectophores, 8 mm. in diameter, and some unattached larva
