Abstract
SPECIAL interest is attached to any direct evidence as to the nature of the reproductive organs in the Milleporidæ, the more especially as no traces whatever of such organs have hitherto been discovered. In the absence of any direct evidence it has been concluded that, from the apparent absence of ampullæ, the gonophores probably develop free of the cœnosteum; and this seemed partly borne out by the general resemblance between the zooids of the Milleporidæ and those of the gymnoblastic Hydroids.
