484 VerriU, Notes on Madiata. 



This species is said to be very active, frequently changing its posi- 

 tion, and keeping its tentacles actively in motion. The young were 

 observed in several instances to be ejected fi-om the mouth. 



Sagartia crispata A'erriii, sp. nov. 



Actinia crispata Bradley, MS. 



Base broadly expanded. Column, as observed, in expansion subcyl- 

 indrical and rather low, but little higher than broad. Edge of disk 

 deeply undulated or frilled. Tentacles numerous, very small, in about 

 two rows, close to the edge, the outer row smallest. Acontia nume- 

 rous and fine, emitted freely. Column light brown above, below mark- 

 ed with dark olive-brown lines and numerous white blotches on a light 

 brown ground-color ; inner tentacles dark brown, tipped with yellow, 

 brown, and white ; outer row light brown, with white tips. Diameter 

 of base 1 inch ; of column '5 ; height of column 1 inch.

 nottcs), — F. H. Bradley. 



Sagartia carcinophila Verriii, sp. nov. 



Base expanded ; column elongated, pillar-like, or subcylindrical, in 

 full expansion ; capable of contracting to a slightly convex disk. Ten- 

 tacles in two or three rows at the edge of disk (not seen in full expan- 

 sion), rather short and blunt. 



Column " olive-brown, marked with 24 white longitudinal lines, 

 alternating at the base with a pair of short white lines in each inter- 

 space ; tentacles same color with the body, but slightly lighter, marked 

 near the tip with two oval spots of dark greenish brown."

Panama Bay, dredged in 3 or 4 fathoms, adhering to the carapax of

Column very extensible, expanding to edge of disk, flesh-colored, 

 translucent, showing the internal lamellae. Disk rather broad, '75 of 

 an inch in diameter. Tentacles at the edge of the disk, marked with 

 alternate bands of dark brown and white.

Sagartia Bradleyi Verriii, sp. nov. 



Column rather short, -35 of an inch in diameter. Tentacles as long 

 as the diameter of the disk, placed on its edge, in about three rows of 

 nearly equal length ; the inner row of 12, a little longer.
