394 Happon—The Actiniaria of Torres Straits. 
Finally, I should offer an apology for the delay in the appearance of this 
memoir. My attention has been increasingly drawn towards Anthropology, and I 
have allowed other interests to take precedence of this too long delayed Report. 
A word of thanks and of praise is due to my friend Mr. Wilson, the clever 
scientific artist at Cambridge, who has translated my rough sketches into very 
excellent representations of the living forms—whatever defects may be subse- 
quently shown to occur in them must solely be credited to me. 
I have made a few allusions to genera which are not recorded from Torres 
Straits, partly to render this Paper more complete, and partly because I am starting 
once more on my travels, and it will be some years before I can return to my 
Actiniarian studies. I have not given the full synonymy in most cases, as that 
will be found in the memoirs of Andres, M*Murrich, Carlgren, &¢., to which I 
have so often referred.
