 ældre Dyr. Helt- Kroppens Overflade indenfor det hudede 

 Overtræk er foldet; paa Folderne tætstaaende Cinclides, 

 hvorigjennem Acontier overalt fremspringe. Skiven lidt

 øverste Raud næsten kastaniebrun. Mundskiven srauk rød- 

 brun. Læberne bleg kjødrøde, Gonidiegruberne blegere. 

 De indre Tentakler niørk-kastaniebrune, de mellemste

Verril! har med Spørgsmaalstegn opført tien af Kuren 

 og mig beskrevne Phellia abyssicola som Synonym med 

 hans Sagartia abyssicola, og heri har han visselig gjort 

 ret. Yed at undersøge Originalexemplarerae paanyt tinder 

 jeg. at de ikke kunne henføres til Slægten Phellia . men 

 at de aabenbart ere identiske med de paa Nordhavsexpedi- 

 tionen fundne og ovenfor under Navnet Sagartia abyssicola 

 beskrevne Exemplarer og upaatvivlelig falder sammen med 

 VerrilTs under samme Navn beskrevne Actinie. 



Naar jeg nu har opført VerrilTs Sagartia abyssicola 

 i Synonymrækken, saa er det fordi, vor Beskrivelse er 

 omtrent .i Aar ældre end hans.

Fodskiven er meget udvidet og har en temmelig tyk, 

 lappet Rand. Tab. IV. Fig. 12; Tab. X. Fig. 10. Dens 

 Underflade er ujævn og har tildels Formen af de Gjenstande, 

 hvortil den er fæstet; saaledes har den paa de Exemplarer, 

 der ere fæstede paa Stylaster gemmaceus mange Forhøi- 

 niuger og Fordybninger, svarende til Grenene, som den 

 omfatter, imedens den paa det Exemplar, der er fæstet 

 paa en Sten, er temmelig jævn og fint foldet fra Centrum 

 mod Peripherien. En brunlig, chitinagtig Masse er afsat 

 paa Underfladen og tjener til yderligere Befæstning. Denne 

 Chitinmasse er saa fast adhæreret til Fodsaalen, at den 

 kun vanskelig kan skilles fra denne. 



Kroppen er fra 20 — 25""" hoi. cylindrisk, med en 

 fast, læderagtig Hud og noget indkneben paa Midten, 

 imedens den udvider sig temmelig meget op imod Mund- 

 skiven. Tal). IV. Fig. 12; Tab. X. Fig. 10. Den har en

and slime. The uppermost fifth part is exposed. smooth, 

 and rich in cinclides. The integumental coating is gein rally 

 absent in the older animals. The entire surface of the 

 body, inside the integumental coating, is folded; on the 

 folds there are compactly-situated cinclides. through which 

 acontia everywhere project. The disc is slightly aivuate, 

 folded, and rich in cinclides and acontia. The tentacles 

 verv long. in several series — 2 — 5 series — but most com- 

 monly 3 series. The Ist series contains 12 tentacles. which 

 are also the longest ones ; the 2rd and 3rd series contain 

 24 tentacles in each. The colour. The integumental coating 

 brown. The body salmon-red coloui with bluish longitu- 

 dinal strijies: its uppermost margin almost chéstnut brown. 

 The oral disc beautiful reddish-brown. The labiæ pale 

 flesh-colour, the gonidial grooves paler in colour. The 

 innei' tentacles dark chéstnut brown ; the intermediate ones 

 lighter coloured, and the outer ones flesh-coloured. The 

 colour varies however, quite considerably, in the different 

 individuals. 



Verrill has. with a mark oi' interrogation attached. 

 related the Phellia abyssicola described by Koren and 

 myself, as synonymous with his Sagartia abyssicola, and 

 in this lie has certainly acted correctly. On examining 

 the original spe imens afresh, I find that they ought not 

 to have heen assigned to the genus Phellia. and that they are 

 evidently identical whith the specimens found on the Norwegian 

 North- Atlantic Expedition, and now described under the 

 designation Sagartia abyssicola : they, indubitably, coincide 

 with VerrilTs Actinia described under the same name. 



My reason for now placing VerrilFs Sagartia Abys- 

 sicola in the synonym-series is. because KoreiTs and my 

 description is about o years earlier in date than his.

The pedal disc is much dilated. and has a rather 

 thick, lobate margin (Pl. IV. fig. 12. Pl. X. fig. KU. 

 Its under-surface is uneven, and has partly the shape of 

 the object to which it is adherent; it has thus. in those 

 specimens which adhere to Stylaster gemmaceus, numerous 

 projections and depressions corresponding to the branch.es 

 which it embraces, while in the specimens adherent tu a 

 stone. the under-surface is pretty even and is rinely folded 

 from the centre towards the periphery. A brownish chitin- 

 ous mass is deposited on the under-surface. and serves still 

 further to secure it. This chitinous mass is so firmly 

 adherent to the pedal sole. that it is only with diffieulty 

 that it can be separated from it. 



The body measures from 20 — 25""" in height, is 

 cylindrical, and has a finn coriaceous integument; it is 

 somewhat constricted at the middle . whilst it expands 

 itself considerably. upwards in proximity to the oral disc 

 (Pl. IV. fig. 12. Pl. X. fig. HM. It has a smooth.
