APPENDIX II. 



HABITATS OF ACTINLaE. 



The following list is appended, in order to give the 

 wandering naturalist some idea of the sea-anemones 

 which he is likely to encounter at various stages of 

 liis travels. It is naturally imperfect, since but 

 little attention has hitherto been paid to the sub- 

 ject, and the "smallest contribution" to its future 

 efficiency will be " thankfully received" by the com 

 piler. 



The last edition of Johnston's * Zoophytes,' 

 Mr. Gosse's publications, and personal observation, 

 have been the only available sources of information. 



The names which follow each habitat are those of 

 the first observers of the fact recorded. 



1. Actinia mesemhryanthemum. Universally distri- 



buted. 



2. A. mesemhryanthemum^ var. aurantia. Lundy 



Island, 1855 (the Author).
