bell-shaped or cup-shaped form, and attached by a slender pedicel, so 
as to hang from the under side of objects. The largest specimens 
were over 50"™ long. 
Alder and Hancock recorded the occurrenée of the species, in a 
single instance, at Falmouth, England. Bergh’s specimens were 
from the North Atlantic, south of Newfoundland.

Off Cape Cod, station 326, in 75 fathoms, mud and broken shells, 
1879. One specimen only. 
Coryphella rutila Verrill. 
Coryphella rutila Verrill, Amer. Journ, Sci., xvii, p. 314, April, 1879. 
Collected by the writer, at Eastport, Me., low-water mark, 1864, 
1868, 1872. It occurs both under stones, and on alge, ete., fully ex- 
posed to view, and very conspicuous on account of its brilliant red 
color and large size. It probably possesses netling cells powerful 
enough to protect it from the attacks of fishes. In that case its 
bright colors would serve as a protection, by warning off enemies, as 
is the case with bight colored Actiniz.

This species occurs from Massachusetts Bay and Salem harbor, 
Mass., to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and from low-water, at Eastport, Me., 
to 51 fathoms, at Jeffrey’s Ledge. This is closely allied to C. sal- 
monacea (Couth.) V. (zon Bergh).

This has bright red branchiz, with white tips. 
By Dr. Gould it was not distinguished from “E. rufibranchialis,” 
and was, therefore, omitted from his report, as a genuine species. 
Whether the latter species actually oecurs on our coast is doubtful. 
This species sometimes occurs at low-water mark at Eastport, Me.,
