The mature medusae bear many ball-like clusters of developing planulae gathered into the peripheral canals of the gastric space.

The gelatinous substance of the disk is translucent milky-blue in color, while the gastro- vascular space, gonads, radial and circular muscles of the subumbrella and the entodermal cores of the tentacles are purplish-pink.

in diameter, the stomach-cavity displays a deep purplish-pink, very different from the pale yellow-colored ephyra of the southern C. fulva.

Among thousands observed by the author during the winter of 1904-05 not more than a dozen lacked the pink coloration and these resembled the variety C.capillata var.

The variety versicolor appears to be a well-marked local race of Cyanea capillata."
