A. E. Yerrill — Anthozoa and Hydrozoa of the Bermudas. 555 



The most abundant species is Condylactis passiflora D. and M., 

 which is often a foot across. Its body is red ; tentacles very long, 

 gray, tipped with pink or purple. 



Our party added several interesting species to the list, some of 

 which have already been recorded by me in the American Jouru. 

 Science.* The Zoanthidse of our collection have not yet been fully 

 studied, but they probably include one or two species, not included 

 here, new to the fauna. The following are the species not definitely 

 included in McMurrich's list. (See foot note above.) 



Additional Actinaria.

Several large specimens, up to 8 inches in diameter, were found 

 imbedded to the tentacles in crevices of the reefs. The arbor- 

 escently branched, green, gill-like fronds (fig. 3) are very large and 

 covered with many round, blue acrorhagi.

Plate LXVIII. Figure 5. 



Very common on the reefs, living exposed and usually grega- 

 riously, those in each group generally of the same color, and probably 

 produced by fission from one parent stalk. The body is usually pear- 

 shaped or top-shaped with a wide disk, covered with radial rows of 

 small, lobed actinobranchs, diversified in color. Marginal tentacles 

 are very small, unequal. It secretes a large quantity of mucus when 

 irritated. The color is variable, usually brownish or purplish exte- 

 riorly. The base is smaller than the disk, often lobate, and very 

 firmly adherent. The disk is but little contractile and not retractile.
