A, cluster of female gonophores growin^t rom the hydrorhiza; B, cluster of female gono- phores growing from the stem; C, cluster of male gonophores growing from the hydrorhiza (after Allman); D. cluster of male gonophores growing from the stem (after Allman). Gonosome.—Female gonophores borne on aborted hydranths, commonly with a zigzag arrangement from the end of the pedicel, this pedicel being more or less annulated throughout; often a scries of pedicels appear in succession from a single branch. They may be close enough together so that the series of gonophore clusters may look like a single cluster. Over a large portion of the sur- face of each gonophore the perisarc is ver)'much thickened. Male gonophores are clustered about an aborted hydranth. The cluster is much larger than in any other species found in this locality, five chambers being common. The reproductive hydranth is attached to the pedicel of an ordinar>' hydranth a short dis- tance from where the latter is attached to tlie branch. Color.—Hydranths and gonophores red. Distribution.—(Common on piles of United States Bureau of Fisheries wharf and on piles of the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge from Morehead City to Beaufort; dredged near Shackleford, 12 feet.
