About the same time that Mr. Kingsley dredged E. cal- 

 limorpha at Brixham, he found at Torquay, washed up 

 after an easterly gale, an individual of the same genus, but 

 manifestly distinct in species. While generally agreeing 

 with E. calUmorpha, in size and form, it differed in the 

 following points: — 1. The scapus was less opaque, more 

 smooth and lubricous, and studded with longitudinal rows 

 of minute warts between theinvections. 2. The capitulum 

 was clavate, proportionally longer, and of the same colour 

 as the scapus, a pale pinkish-buff, or light orange. 3. The 

 tentacles were fourteen in number, slightly uncinate or 

 incurved, banded with dark buff. 4. The disk was trans- 

 parent and colourless, with a dark protruded mouth. From 

 these characters I think it probable that the animal in 

 question was referrible to the E. Beautempsii of M. de 

 Quatrefages.
