ACTINIA. 247 
10. ActTinta INtESTINALIS, Dr. Fleming. 
Hab. Adheres to rocks at low-water mark; Zetland, 
Dr. Fleming. 
This bears some resemblance to the former in its com- 
parative length and breadth, but in many respects it is 
very different. “‘ When contracted,” Dr. Fleming says, “ the 
body seems like two broad rings of nearly equal breadth, 
and about half an inch in diameter; when expanded to 
nearly two inches, the body consists of two cylindrical por- 
tions of different dimensions, smooth, pellucid, yellowish.” 
In Dr. Johnston’s figure (49), in its contracted state it is 
like two joints from the Giant’s Causeway laid one above 
another ; in its expanded state, it is like a telescope when 
drawn out. 
11. Actinta CHRYSANTHELLUM, C. W. Peach. 
Hab. Coast of Cornwall, Peach. 
This is one of Mr. Peach’s numerous discoveries. It is 
almost white, with six broad stripes and three narrower ones 
betwixt each of the two broader ones, running the whole 
length of the body, and crossed by narrow transverse ones. 
The tentacula are twelve. Though found among stones in 
the sand, it does not attach itself to the stones, but lies 
buried in the sand with the head above.
