appearance and fewer white longitudinal lines," nor were there 

 " broad white gonidial radii " on the disk, though the white patches at 

 the bases of the tentacles were in one specimen much more prominent 

 in the case of the " gonidial tentacles " and those adjacent, than the 

 rest. 



The white star-shaped area in the centre of the disk was very well 

 marked in one specimen, less so in the other, and the three white bars 

 on the tentacles varied considerably in intensity. 



One of the anemones twice moved from the upper to the under side 

 of the stone to which it was attached, when this had been turned up 

 for inspection. 



The colouring of these anemones harmonised so exactly with their 

 surroundings (granite stones covered with live and dead colonies of 

 Polyzoa and Scrpulm brown and white — the rock also being stained 

 dark brown in patches) — as to be very hard to make out even when in 

 the aquarium and close under the eye — especially when fully expanded.
