CORYMORPHA. 119 
I have a specimen of it from Lady Keith Murray, found 
by her near Stonehaven. This species is about three inches 
in height, the tubes slender, of a pale colour, and horny. 
“When the polypes are all displayed, they afford a very 
interesting spectacle, equalled by uo other species I have 
seen; the crimson heads contrasting finely with their white 
polypidoms, especially when loaded with the reproductive 
bulbules, which pullulate from the inner side of the bases of 
the inferior tentacula.” (Dr. Johnston.) —Mr. Harvey found 
his specimens at the steam-bridge on the river Dart, in 
clusters on the links of the chain, and also on the links 
over which the floating bridge at Devonport runs. 
Genus VII. CORYMORPHA, Sars. 
1. CoRYMORPHA NUTANS. 
Hab. Orkney, Forbes and Goodsir. 
For the generic and specific characters we must refer to 
Dr. Johnston’s work, pp. 54 and 55, and to his characteristic 
figure, plate vu. fig. 4. 
“We found the Corymorpha in ten-fathom water in the 
Bay of Stromness, Orkney. When placed in a vessel of 
sea-water, it presented the appearance of a beautiful flower.
