62 THE INVERTEBRATE FAUNA 
Sagartia ornata (Holdsworth). 
Firth of Forth (A£B.). 
ACTINIADZ. 
Actinia mesembryanthemum (Ellis and Sol.). 
Leith shore (#. J.); Firth of Forth (J/B.). 
This is a very abundant species in the 
lower littoral zone, on exposed rocks and 
in rocky ledges of pools left by the re- 
tiring tide. A well-grown specimen 
was taken from the Forth in 1828, by 
Sir John Graham Dalyell, who kept it for 
twenty years. It then passed successively 
into the hands of Professor Fleming and 
of Dr M‘Bain. It is now in the possession 
of Mr Sadler, curator of the Royal Botanic 
Garden, Edinburgh, and continues in 
vigorous health. 
The variety A. chiococea was found near 
the Bass Rock by the German North Sea 
Expedition. 
BUNODID4. 
Tealia crassicornis (O. F. Mill). 
Firth of Forth (‘B.); Firth of Forth, 30 
fathoms (Ff. £. S.). 
Common in the littoral and upper lamina- 
rian zones,and extending into deeper water. 
We have dredged it on the oyster banks 
and elsewhere. It sometimes attains a 
very large size—a specimen which we 
found near Aberdour measuring nearly 
a foot in diameter. 
The Actinia gemmacea, Leith shore (£. J.), 
was probably this species. 
ILYANTHIDZ. 
Halcampa erysanthellum (Peach). 
Bass Rock, 24 fathoms (F. #. S.).
