PROPOSED WORK 



ON THE 



BRITISH SEA-ANEMONES. 



Mr. Gosse has for some years been collecting materials for a 

 complete history of our native Sea-Anemones, with illustrations of 

 every species, drawn and coloured by himself from living specimens. 



In order to further this project, he respectfully invites the co- 

 operation of his kind scientific friends at various parts of the British 

 and Irish Coasts, who may materially assist him by transmitting to 

 him {free of expense) specimens of all species that are not common 

 everywhere. 



An Anemone of medium size may be safely sent hy post, in a small 

 tin-canister, without water, but with a small tuft of damp sea-weed to 

 maintain a moist atmosphere around the animal. A piece of paper 

 should be pasted round the canister, to secure it, and also to receive 

 the address ; and the whole would probably come within the weight 

 covered by a twopenny or fourpenny stamp.
