Its smaller size and deep-water habitat strengthen this view.

 This Actinia was first distinguished on our coast by Mr. R. 

 Howse, who procured it from the deep-water fishing boats, and 

 I have since got it occasionally from the same source, and once

 an inch to an inch and a-half in diameter, of a scarlet-orange 

 colour with paler warts ; and with numerous stout tentacles of a 

 dull red, unhanded, but a little darker towards the tips,
