“産地 オキノセ 300尋, 明治38年4月, 採集 熊”.

Remarks Colony: one colony.
“Okinose Bank” is located about 20 km south of the Miura Peninsula, Kanagawa Prefecture. This specimen seems to belong to the family Xeniidae on account of its being covered with rather large, cylindrical, non-retractile polyps, and there are no sclerites. The specimen has more or less disintegrated.
