ANTHOZOA HELIANTHOIDA. S13 
lities in the west of Scotland, Mr. M‘Andrew and Prof. E. 
Forbes; off Cumbraes, D. L. 
This we have got several times from a fisherman who 
dredged it off Cumbraes. It was always on roundish stones 
about the size of a man’s hand, and it wound itself in a 
meandering manner round the stone, and as the surface was 
not smooth, it took care to keep in the hollows. It is of a 
reddish colour. When we first met with it, from its long, 
small, worm-like appearance, we thought that it was an 
annelide, till we observed the cells of the polypes, like little 
warts, dotting it at regular intervals. The polypes are 
whitish. ‘The fleshy crust contains spicula.
