Extract

During the summer of 1936 I obtained mature specimens of the medusa of Corymorpha nutans at Plymouth. An account of the early development of the hydroid reared from the fertilized eggs of these is given below. Young polyps of this species have been figured by Allman (1871) and by Hartlaub (1907). Allman found his young polyps developing apparently from the rooting filaments of the parent hydroid which had become free. Hartlaub figures and assigns young polyps which he found in the plankton at Helgoland to this species.
