“Chondrocladia clavata, n. sp.
A very small globular head perched on the end of a slender stalk, which is short, and at the bottom breaks up into a tuft of rootlets. From various parts of the head radiate long slender processes. Diameter of head about 1/12 inch. Pale yellow. Spicules:(1) slender acuates, size variable, up to 1.0 by .022 millim.; (2) tridentate aquianchorates of the usual Chondrocladia-type, length .057 millim.; (3) bihamates about .044 millim. long. This sponge makes a near approach to the typical Crinorrhiza-form.
Locality. Station 174, Fiji Islands, 140 fath.”
