THE EYELET. 
Gregoria fenestrata. 
(Sp. nov.) 
Plate VII. jig. 3 ; XII. fig. 7 {magn.). 
Specific Character. Column green, with purple lines ; tentacles red. 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 
Form. 
In addition to the characters given on the preceding page, I may add, 
that in my specimen, (which may be immature,) the perforations are veiy 
visible, with a lens ; there are about six in an intersept, of which five 
are placed in quick succession near the summit, and one remote near 
the base : they are not found in all the intersepts, from two to fom- im- 
perforate ones intervening between those which are pierced. Under mag- 
nification the perforations are rounder, and less eyelid-shaped than in the 
Sagartice; they have a distinct granular layer exterior to them, though 
then’ outline is in some cases very clearly defined, and even thickened. 
The tentacles are about forty-eight, aiTanged in three rows; all sub- 
marginal : their form is nearly cylindrical, with veiy obtuse tips. 
Colour. 
Column. Translucent glaucous green, very pale; each longitudinal 
furrow marked by a line of deep reddish-purple, decided but not well- 
defined ; the loop-holes are each surrounded by a ring of the same colour. 
Disk and tentacles. Dull red, pellucid; exactly as in the common 
varieties of A. mesetuhryanthemum. 
Mouth. More decidedly lake-red. Throat glaucous. 
Size. 
Column about one-sixth of an inch in height, and one-fifth in diameter ; 
expanse of tentacles one-third. 
Locality. 
The Scottish coast near Banfl’ ; half-tide level. 
Mr. Walter Gregor, of Banff, (after whom I have named 
the genus,) has just favoured me with this little Anemone,
