1. PODOCORYNE CARNEA, Sars. 



Hincks quoted Cullercoats as a locality for this species with 

 Alder as his authority, but 1 cannot find it in Alder's own hsts. 



It is common from deep waters on Buccinum undatum (both 

 the shells inhabited by the mollusc and old shells occupied by 

 hermit crabs), Neptunea antiqua, Cydaria, Volsella modiolus and 

 Tritonofusus gracilis. 



Gonophores : medusoids in February, April and May. 



In all the specimens I observed the characteristic spines were 

 extremely rare ; in every case the medusoid had eight tentacles 

 when liberated ; some colonies were deep rose colour, others almost 

 white. I observed several branched hydranths bearing two or 

 even three heads on one stalk (Plate IV. b). 



2. PODOCORYNE AREOLATA (Alder). Hydractinia areolata, 



Alder. 



On a dead shell of Natica alderi from the boats, Cullercoats.
