228 HISTORY OF BRITISH ZOOPHYTES. 
Hab. Near Cork, Prof. Allman; coast of Cornwall, C. 
W. Peach. 
A full description of it, by Professor Allman, may be 
found in Dr. Johnston’s ‘ History of British Zoophytes.’ 
“Tt is a charming little animal, and by no means rare in 
the locality where I discovered it (at Crook Haven, in little 
pools on the shore); the brilliancy of its colours, and the 
great elegance of its tentacular crown, when fully expanded, 
render it eminently attractive. Hundreds may often be seen 
in a single pool, and few sights will be retained with greater 
pleasure by the naturalist than that presented by these little 
zoophytes, as they spread abroad their green and rosy 
crowns amid the alge and nullipores and plumy corals, 
co-tenants of their rocky vases.”’ 
Mr. Peach’s specimens were yellowish, and their favourite 
position was to hang from the rock when in the form of the 
daisy. 
Genus XXX. ADAMSIA, #. Fortes. 
Gen. Char. Body expanded, bi-lobed, adhering by a broad 
base; tentacula subretractile, simple, surrounding the mouth. — 
Forbes.
