wide, and these may be cross­linked by short, much narrower, strands. Wider portions, where the stolons are expanded into wider mats, can be uncovered, but their extent is unknown. Burchardt said that “Eine Hornscheide” was missing, but the stolons and the polyps are covered with a thin cuticle. It is not easy to detect on the polyps, but on some broken ones it can be seen to be peeling off as a very thin transparent sheet.

The polyps are moderately translucent and the mesenterial insertions can be seen through the walls of many of them. Quite a number of polyps have the distal ends missing, perhaps as a consequence of Burchardts research. Of those that remain, all but a few have no tentacles visible. Burchardts account indicates that some polyps had the tentacles fully unfolded when he examined the specimen, but in the material now, where tentacles are visible, they protrude only by very small amounts (

The fact that some stolons cross other stolons without anastomosing may indicate that there is more than one colony here. Stolons and polyp bodies are covered by a thin cuticle.

C, taken from the large rock, reveals the contortions involved in the process of retraction. Whole, or portions of, invaginated tentacles are free in the gastric cavity. They lie mostly alongside the pharynx, which has been pulled down by the muscles in those parts of the mesenteries proximal to it. The cylindrical region distal to the pharynx and the invaginated tentacles is that part of the body wall, now turned inside out, that was previously outside of and adjacent to the pharynx in the expanded polyp. This region is attached to the pharynx by mesenteries that must undergo considerable stretching during the invagination process. Some of these mesenteries, torn during the dissection, are labelled at the right of the figure. Those parts of the mesenteries remaining attached to the invaginated body wall pass down between the invaginated tentacles, along the length of the pharynx and down to the base of the colony. When the invaginated, upper body wall cylinder was opened, portions of three tentacles that had not completely invaginated were lying longitudinally within. At the proximal end of the cylinder, the peristome lay like a domed membrane across the top of the pharynx. If the invaginated parts of the tentacles are magnified they can be seen to be covered in a thick layer of zooxanthellae — presumably that which was previously inside the expanded tentacle prior to polyp retraction. The oral aspect of a polyp with the tentacles preserved in the process of invagination or evagination is shown in

This lot consists of two small clumps of fine gravel held together by a gelatinous substance. These support few polyps but many vegetative stolonic outgrowths with very little internal structure visible. The samples are portions of a colony initially obtained from a dealer in aquarium animals. The colony had been kept in an aquarium for some time, and its morphology is likely to have been affected by this.

The largest piece has a number of anastomosed, narrow, flattened stolons supporting the polyps. Smooth tentacles protrude from a number of the polyps and can be seen within the gastric cavities of others. Polyps and stolons are of the same size range as the specimens described above.

The retracted polyps of the two different species look more or less identical, but those polyps with portions of the tentacles visible reveal that there are two forms present. Upon cursory examination it can appear that the two different forms are actually united on the same basal stolons, but careful tracing of the intermixed stolons proves this is not the case.

The main morphological characteristics used to distinguish between species within similar stolonate genera are sclerite position, arrangement, and architecture, and the number of pinnules on the tentacles. The fact there are no sclerites or pinnules in
