Finally, in a European species of the genus a fourth exceedingly long polyp {mp), destitute of both mouth and tentacles, but furnished at its free end with numerous nemato- cysts, occurs. These third and fourth varieties of polyp probably are offensive and defensive in function, procuring food for the colony and warding off some predatory enemies. The Anthomedusse, as the medusa forms are termed, have much deeper bells than the Leptomedusse, and differ from the latter in that the sense-organs are light-percipient in their.
