![Genus Clavularia, Quoy & Gaimard (25). The definition of this genus given by the French naturalists runs as follows :— “Animaux cylindriques a huit tentacules pinnes continus dans des claviformes, coriaces, stries, subpedicules fixes et agglomeres.” , This definition holds good in its entirety for the one species Clavularia viridis only. The limits of the genus must be considerably expanded to include the species that have been described since the return of the ‘Astrolabe.’ The genus Clavularia includes those Clavulariidse that possess a membranous or retiform creeping stolon into which the polypes cannot be completely retracted. Spicules are usually present. No horny secretion of the ectoderm formed. In order to render the task of identifying the species of Clavularia an easier one, it is necessary to give detailed lists of some of the principal characters of all the species that have now been described. The species of Clavularia arranged approximately in the order in which they have been described. Name of Species. Locality and depth. Length of polypes. Authority.
