FAJMILY ANTHEAD^. 



Antliea cereus (Ellis and Solander). I find this species most 

 frequently at Cumbrae, attached near the tips of tall Zostera. 

 They are all same coloured, a light greyish-brown. 



FAMILY ACTINIAD^.. 



Actinia mesemhrycmthemwn (Ellis and Solander). Common, all 

 round the shores from low to near high water mark. 



FAMILY BUNODID^. 



BoJoccra Tuedice (Johnston). Brought up on the fisherman's 

 long line, off the west-end of Cumbrae. Eare; this species was 

 also obtained by the Eev. D. Landsborough, ofi" Cumbrae. 



Bolocera eques, Gosse. Eare; the only one I have seen was 

 floated in-shore among sea-weed. It was in good condition, and 

 survived a journey to Torquay to visit its admirer, Mr Gosse. 



Bunodes thallia, Gosse. Eare, in a tide-pool in a hole of the 

 rock after the manner of the Troglodytes; but the well marked 

 vertical rows of warts, and the close agreement of column, disc, 

 and tentacles, left no doubt of its identity. 



Tealia crassicornis (Miiller). Common, in tide-pools, in the 

 crevices of rocks, and in the gravelly shingle, near and beyond 

 low water. 



StomjjJiia Churchice, Gosse. Moderately common off" the south- 

 west point of Cumbrae, in from 12 to 25 fathoms; brought up in 

 the dredge adhering to stones. 



FAJIILY ILYANTHID^. 



Peachia hastafa, Gosse. Eare, dredged in about two fathom 

 water on a gravelly muddy bottom between "the Alands," and 

 in 8 and 10 fathoms amongst mud and Melohesia near the 

 " Tan Buoy." 



Peachia triphjlla, Gosse. Eare, in muddy sand at extreme low 

 water. Gosse records it only from Guernsey. 



Bdivardsia callimoiyha (Gosse). Moderately common; taken in 

 the dredge in from 6 to 25 fathoms, in sandy and muddy gravel. 

 At the first look, when the animal is contracted, it may be readily 

 mistaken for one of the smaller Holothuriidce. 



Edwardsia carnea (Gosse). Locally common, on the under sides
