190 BULLETIN 100, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Genus CHIROPSALMUS L. Agassiz, 1862. Chiropsahnus L. Agassiz, 1862, Contr. Nat. Hist. U. S., vol. 4, p. 174.— Mayeb, 1910, Medusae of the World, vol. 3, p. 515. Generic characters.—Carybdeidae with four interradial, branch- ing pedalia which give rise to a number of tentacles. Four wide per- radially situated stomach pockets in the subumbrella, each of which gives rise to finger-shaped, unbranched, hernialike pouches, which project into the bell cavity. Wide, marginal pouches and nu- merous canals in the ve- larium. Eight leaf-shaped gonads. CHIROPSALMUS QUADRIGATUS Haeckel. Chiropsahnus quadrigatus Haeckel, 18S0, Syst. der Medusen, p. 447.—Mayeb, 1910, Medusae of the World, vol. 3, p. 516, fig. 331.—Light, 1914, Philip- pine Journ. Science, vol. 9, p. 197. The 44 specimens of this medusa were collected by the Albatross from the Philippines, but not one seems to be mature. Light (1914) found this medusa at Culion Bay, Cu- lion, and at Palawan, and thus it ranges widely in the Philippines. Light's specimens were larger than those found by the Albatross, being at least 200 mm. in diameter and usually with seven tentacles to each padalium. The tentacles are 1.5 meters or more in length and have lavander-colored bands of nematocysts. Light reports that the sting of this medusa is very severe and may even be fatal to man. The Dactylometra of the Philippines is also a dangerous form, but Lobonema, which some of the members of the Albatross expedition believed to be virulent, is not capable of inflicting a very severe sting.1
