Allman (Monogr. Gym. Hydr., p. 33, woodcut 8), figures 

 a young stage of Tiara under the name of Oceania coron- 

 ata. This is probably a young T. pileata. It has four 

 long, perradial tentacles ; four short interradial tentacles ; 

 and eight adradial tentacle-bulbs. It is exactly like a 

 specimen taken at Port Erin on April 10th. Hneckel, 

 however, places this specimen under the name of Tiara 

 octona. 



Distribution. — Mediterranean. Norway, Heligoland, 

 Shetland, St. Andrews. 



Turris neglecta, Lesson (9). 



Byerley {6) records this species. — " Taken rarely in the 

 Mersey, by Mr. Price." 



I have not yet seen this species at Port Erin. It 

 appears to be a fairly common medusa and no doubt will 

 be recorded before long on the Manx coast. 



Distribution. — St. Andrews, Southampton, Portland, 

 Ilfracombe, Tenby, Liverpool.
