258 A. E. Verrili—The Bermuda Islands; Coral Ree/s. 
across the tentacles, with the body about an inch in diameter and 
two inches high. Tentacles about 96, in the larger ones. The body 
is dark brown tinged with red. The disk has a conspicuous, central, 
stellate area of rich brown, with about 24 tapering rays, running 
out between the bases of the 24 inner tentacles, with paler radial 
lines, and bordered with light yellow ; tentacles reddish brown with 
a median paler stripe; mouth red; lips whitish. 
In formalin the tentacles are longitudinally fluted and the column 
is covered with longitudinal rows of small elevated ruge, due to 
wrinklings ; the acrorhagi are conspicuous. 
This may prove to be only a strongly marked color-variety of the 
last, when a larger series can be obtained, but all those found were 
very uniform in color and habit. 
It was found in crevices of a ledge near Flatts Inlet.
