of stones propped up between others, so that the water can pass 

 freely between them, none of the specimens were in holes in the 

 stones, but all projecting from the surface. I have only met with 

 this beautiful little Anemone in one creek on the east side of 

 Kames Bay, and then it appears only to be present periodically. 

 Some seasons none could be found with the most diligent search. 



CeriantJms LloycUi (Gosse). Rather rare. In muddy sand at 

 and beyond extreme low water. Where one is met with, a few 

 more may be expected close by. 



TRIBE CARYOPHYLLIACEA. 

 FAMILY CAPNEAb^. 



Corynadis viridis, Allman. Locally common in small rock-pools 

 shaded from the sun. All those I have seen at Cumibrae closely 

 approach the white variety, Coina. 



FAMILY TURBINOLIAD^. 



Caryajjhyllia Smithii (Stokes). Rare, at low water, attached to 

 the under sides of stones that are so lying as leave open spaces 

 between.
