case it will expand in captivity, and look healtliy to the 
eye of the tyro ; hut, when examined, it will he seen to he 
perforate, a stick thrust in at the mouth coming out at the 
base. Specimens so mutilated never recover. 
Little more than ordinary treatment is required for 
S. hellis. It is desirable that it should he gently pushed, 
base downward, into a hole of a piece of rock ; — flints are 
often found suitable for it ; — or, if such cannot he readily 
obtained, two pieces of stone may be set side by side, and 
•the Daisy dropped between them. Then it will soon attach 
itself to the bottom or sides of the crevice, and expand 
its beautiful disk, like a broad coin, at the top. 
S. hellis appears to be essentially a southern form. Sir 
John Dalyell, in his twenty years’ experience, seems never 
to have met wdth it on the Scottish Coast ; nor has it, so far 
as I know, occurred on the Scandinavian or Danish Coasts, 
nor on either shore of the German Ocean. On the south-:* 
western shores of Scotland, however, it has recently been 
found in some numbers. 
. On the other hand, it has’ recently been obtained near 
Boulogne; Mr. Iloldsworth finds it “by myriads” near 
Oporto ; Rapp and Lamarck give the Mediterranean gene- 
rally as its habitat ; and De Blainville, more specially, la 
Mer de Naples.
