Occurrence of Stromphia Churchire on the Northmnberland Coast. 

 — I obtained from deep-water off Craster, some Anemones, 

 which I concluded to be the Stromphia Churchku, a species not 

 hitherto recorded from our coast; on sending them to Mr. Gosse 

 for his opinion, he states that they are the Stromphia CJmrchia' 

 varieties, incensa and extincta, oi \\\s> " Actinologia Britannica;" 

 and adds, that they are now found to be more common than was 

 formerly supposed. In his work, lie gives their locality as the 

 " Coast of Scotland." I am very glad to be able to add one more 

 species to our local Faun a. « — J. Stanger, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
