FAUNISTIC NOTES AT PLYMOUTH DURING 1893—4. 217 
AntHoz0oa.—During May, both in 1893 and 1894, the Leptomeduse 
which then abounded in the Sound, and which seemed to be in part 
the young stages of Irene pellucida, and in part Phialidium varia- 
bile, were infested to a large extent with parasitic Actinian larve, 
which I had little doubt (after external examination only, however) 
were the young stages of Halcampa chrysanthellum, 
In my notes on the fauna for 1892 (Journal, 1892, p. 334) I 
recorded Bunodes coronata as occurring at Plymouth, This is per- 
fectly true, but the species which I intended at the time to record 
was Bunodes verrucosa (= gemmacea of Gosse). Chitonactis coronata 
(the Bunodes coronata of Gosse) has been taken on many occasions 
in the deeper water outside the Breakwater, as well as once or twice 
in the deep water of Millbay Channel. I have no doubt that those 
who are familiar with the recent changes and present state of 
Actinian nomenclature will forgive my momentary confusion of names, 
which I now correct. 
In my former list I omitted to mention that Epizoanthus incrustatus * 
is common at Plymouth on a patch of ground a short distance south of 
the Mewstone, where it covers the shells tenanted by Anapagqurus levis. 
Another species of Zoanthid, Hpizoanthus couchii, which is common 
in the Sound around the Duke Rock, and to a less extent in Millbay 
Channel, in which localities it may be found forming linear or 
retiform colonies over stones and shells. 
TurBeLLaria.—Mr. Gamble identified as Fecampia erythrocephala 
(Giard) a remarkable Rhabdoccele which he found infesting a large 
percentage of young shore-crabs (Carcinus mzxnas) in the summer 
of 1893. I had seen afew specimens previously in basins in which some 
coralline from tide-pools had been placed ; they must have just emerged 
from the crabs in the coralline. The curious cocoons formed by 
Fecampia are also very plentiful on stones at Plymouth, both on the 
shore and down to a depth of 5 or 6 fathoms. 
Cumroropa.—I am unable to refer to Miss Buchanan’s preliminary 
report on the Polycheta of Plymouth (Brit. Assoc., 1892), but at the 
risk of repetition will record here a few species which I believe are 
not mentioned in her list. A single mutilated specimen of Maldane 
cristagalli of Claparéde was dredged on a patch of ground, consist- 
ing of hard rock and intervals of sand, a short distance south of the 
Breakwater Fort on December 14th, 1892. It was associated with 
specimens of Glycera capitata and Hunice Harassw. The former, 
however, lives at Plymouth wherever there is abundance of clean 
coarse shell sand, and Hunice Harassw is not uncommon in Millbay 
Channel and around the Duke Rock, where it lives in holes of stones. 
* The nomenclature of Haddon’s Revision of British Actiniz (Trans. Roy. Dublin Soc., 
vol. iv, 1891) is here followed.
