REPORT UPON THE ECHINODERMATA. 135 



July and August, 1885, at various points on the eastern, 

 southern, and western shores of the Isle of Man. It was 

 found at Bay-ny-Carrickey, near Poyllvaaish, Port 8t. Mary, 

 Port Erin, Fleshwick Bay, etc., always in tidal pools, and 

 usually attached to Corallina officinalis. 



Prof. Forbes and Dr. Coldstreana found the species in 

 tidal pools at Castletown, Isle of Man, and Mr. R. Garner 

 obtained it from pools amongst the rocks, north-west of the 

 Stack. 



The specimens which I have collected vary in extreme 

 diameter from 2'5 mm. to 2*8 cm. They were, when living, 

 nearly all of a dull greenish colour, although a few yellowish 

 and reddish specimens also occurred. The specimens from 

 Port St. Mary and the neighbourhood were much larger than 

 those from Port Erin.

 "This species is by no means uncommon in deep water 

 off the coast of the Isle of Man, where I have dredged many 

 specimens." (Forbes, Brit. Star Fishes.)

 and from the coast of North Wales. It is often found cast 

 ashore by storms at Penmaenmawr (Darbishire) ; and has 

 been found at Formby Point (G. H. Morton).
