The sting is fully as painful as that of Physalia. These modern Echinothurise were subsequently found very abundant at moderate depths. The "Challenger" dredged a gigantic species from this group, measuring no less than 312 mm. in diameter. The spines of the lower surface are shod with a pecu- liar hoof-shaped tip; on the test are sheathed spines un- like those Of any Fig. 360. - Phormosoma 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 Agassiz, Alexander, 1835-1910; U.
