I,ongitudinal muscle pennons of the mesenteries in transverse-sections with some few, about 12 folds, only ramificated in the outer parts. The lamellar outer part of the mesenteries attached close by the outside of the pennons. Parietal muscles comparatively well-deve- loped, in transverse-sections fan-shaped, considerably broader than in E. arctica. The parietal muscles are considerably expanded on the cohinm. Colour in alcohol: Scapus dirty grey. Dimensions in contracted state: length cm, breadth o. 15 cm. Occurrence: East-Greenland 72°28' N. 2i°48' W. 180 m mud with some stones (Sw. Greenland-Exp. 1899) i sp. The muscle pennons of the mesenteries of these species recall those of E. arctica; the nematocysts of the nemathybomes, however, differ in size. On account of the imperfect and badly preserved material I cannot give any minute description of the species. A transverse-section of a nnisclc pennon Textfig. 49. Edwardsia incerta.
