I. Jiuhicunda. Agrees with o in disk and tentacles (ncixrly) ; but ground- 
colour of tentacles rose-red : column dull buff. (Torquay.) 
K. Lilacina. Column greyisb-drab with faint longitucbnal bauds of 
darker. Disk buff, the radii separated by delicate black lines. Tentacles 
an exquisite light lilac,* with a white cloud at the lower part, succeeded 
by a sti'onglj'-defined black IJ. (Boulogne.) 
A. Melanoleuca. Column greenish drab. Disk whitish, becoming 
orange on the central region. Tentacles divided into well-defined alter- 
nate groups of semi-pellucid white and bluish black ; about five groups of 
each colour, but not quite regular in extent : those of each hue are con- 
spicuously ringed with a darker tint, and have the B thick and strongly 
marked. (Morecambe Bay ; Boulogne.) Plate V. fy. 5. 
ft. Prasina. Disk and tentacles transparent crown-glass-green ; primai’y 
radii with a white spot, secondary with a white line. Lqi white. (Firth 
of Forth ? Dr. T. S. Wright in litt.) 
*** Without characteristic marks on disk or tentacles. 
(Column drab.) 
V. Flavicoma. Disk grey-buff, more positive on the lip ; tentacles warm 
orange-buff; remarkably short, blunt, and stiffly set. (Boulogne.) 
Auricuma. Disk pale orange, with an undefined dash of white on 
some of the radii. Tentacles long, slender, pellucid rich orange. (More- 
cambe Bay.) 
o. Luna. Disk warm orange, with the central fourth white. Tentacles 
elongated, opaque white, with an unbroken line of pellueid white running 
down each side. (Boulogne. F. H. W. in litt.) 
TT. Xox. Disk and tentacles blaek : the latter much attenuated, with an 
unbroken line of grey running down each side. (Boulogne. F. H. W. in 
litt.) 
p. Eclipsis. Disk black. Tentacles opaque brilliant orange. (Morecambe 
Bay. F. H. W. in litt.) 
(T. Npethamera. As p in every respect, except that the black of the disk 
ends abruptly at half-radius, the central portion being light grey. (More- 
cambe Bay. F. H. W. in litt.) 
T. Hesperus. Wholly pure white ; gradually acquiring colour in a con- 
finement of some months. (Lundy. W. Brodrick in litt.) 
V. Nolilis. Disk deep violet-blue. Tentacles rich orange. (Cheshire 
Coast. Lady Oust in litt.) 
From the above list it will be readily perceived that 
there is no species of our native Anemones that approaches 
* I describe it as I see it ; but Mr. West, to whose liberality I am indebted 
for this, as for so many specimens of this species, informs me that it is 
now in a deteriorated condition. Originally it was a very rich full lake or 
dark lilac.
