460 ON THE FAUNA AND BOTTOM-DEPOSITS NEAR THE 30-FM. LINE 



North Sea {Pommerania, No. 105) ; Red Scci (Gossc, No. 30). Tlie species is not recorded 

 from the Irish Sea (Herdmau), nor from the Shetland Isles (Norman). 

 Habitat. Generally on shells inhabited by Eiipagurus Bernhardus. 



Adamsia paUiata (Table VI.) occurs on both sand and gravel grounds 

 in the neighbourhood of the Eddystone. It has never been dredged on 

 the Bolt Head or Prawle Grounds. The anemone was always found 

 associated with Eupagurus Prideauxii. 



Distribution. Geographical. A. palliata extends further north than A. parasitica. 

 It is found in the Shetlands, on the west coast of Scotland, in the Irish Sea, south 

 coast of Ireland (Gosse, No. 30) ; Brittany (Pruvot, No. 98) ; Mediterranean (Andres, 

 No. 5). 



Paraphellia expansa. Three or four specimens of this species have 



been obtained on the coarse gravel mixed with fine sand to the westward 



of the Eddystone (Grounds IX. and XI.). When taken, the anemones 



were not attached to anything, and appear to have been living buried 



in the sand. 



Distribution. Paraphellia expansa was first obtained by Haddon (No. 35) on the 

 south-west coast of Ireland, and has since been recorded by Herdnian (No. 40) in the 

 Irish Sea. Holt (No. 48) and Haddon (No, 34) record it at depths of 14-40 fathoms on 

 the Irish coast. 



Chondradinia digitata was obtained on two grounds only, namely, 

 the outer trawling ground {II.) and the fine sand ground south of the 

 Eddystone (VI.). These are the two deepest fine sand grounds 

 examined. In all cases the anemone was growing on Cardium 

 echinatum shells, fixed to the smooth inner side of the shell. 



Distribution. Georjraphical. Finmark {fide Levinsen, No. 66) ; North Sea (Gosse, 

 No. 30) ; Kattegat (Levinsen) ; Shetlands (Norman, No. 90) ; Cornish coast (Gosse) ; Bay 

 of Biscay (Roule, No. 100, Cavdan). 



Depth. Deep water (Gosse). 98 fathoms (Roule). 



Habitat. On shells of living Baccinum and Tritonium (Liitken). On Fusus islandicus, 

 F. berniciensis, F. norvegicus, Buccinopsis Dalei, other common Fusi, and Bucciniun 

 U7ulatum (Norman, No. 90). On Fusus antiquus in the Kattegat (Levinsen). 



Corynadis viridis. Found in hauls 29 and 30 only on the Prawle 



Stony Ground (XVIIL), growing on large stones. 



Distribution. Geographical. South-west coasts of England, of Scotland, and of 

 Ireland (Gosse, No. 30) ; Shetlands (Norman, No. 90) ; Irish Sea (Herdman, No. 40) ; 

 Brittany (Pruvot, No. 98) ; Mediterranean {fide Cams, No. 14). 



Depth. Shore to 100 fathoms (Peach, fide Norman). 



Habitat. On rocks and stones. 



ECHINODERMATA. 



[Nomendature : — F. Jeffrey Bell, Catalogue of British Echinoderins, 



British Museum.] 

 Holothuria nigra (Chart VI.) was taken in two hauls only (Nos. 

 10 and 99), both on the clean shell gravel immediately adjoining and 

 west of the Eddystone rocks (Ground XVI.). Two or three specimens 

 were dredged in each haul.
