TIIK GOLD-SPANGLED ANEMONE.

was as smootli as before ; not papillatecl ; and the apertures 
were nearly obliterated.” 
Until I have an opportunity of personal examination, T 
therefore assign to the speeies a place in the genus Sagartia ; 
but I consider that it is one of the links which connect this 
with the neighbouring families. 
On the history of this lovely little Anemone I can only 
quote what has already been published. “ The old ones 
are solitary, not more than one on a stone : but there are 
two or sometimes four growing on the same stone. . . . 
I have had some in my possession for weeks, well supplied 
with water and air daily ; yet the tubercles and edging 
were obdurate, determined to keep to their original colour.” 
I must hope that the zeal of our Cornish zoophytologists 
will before long make me personally acquainted with the 
pretty Gold-spangle. 
The following localities are enumerated for it by Mr. 
W. P. Cocks: — Gwyllyn-Vase, Pennance, Ilclford, St. Ives.

mesembryanthemum. ciirysosplenium. crassicornis.

ON THE SUBDIVISION OF THE GENUS SAGARTIA. 
Fifteen species of the genus Sagartia have been described 
in the preceding pages ; and I possess information more or 
less definite concerning some five or six others, which I 
have not seen ; whose history therefore, in hope of a fuller 
acquaintance with them, I defer writing for the present, 
but expect to be able to give some account of them in an 
Appendix to this Volume.
