2. Atractylis, T. S. Wright. 



A. ramosa, Van Beneden. 



Torbay, dredged. 



This species, figured by Van Beneden (' Reeherches sur les 

 Tubulaires') under the name of Eudendrium ramosuni, has a 

 coarse compound stem, is much branched, and sometimes attains 

 a height of about 3 inches. The ends of the branches are di- 

 lated ; but the cup is very frail, and soon disappears after the 

 death of the polype. 



A form has occurred to me at Llandudno, on the Welsh coast, 

 having a simple stem, of humbler size and less branched than 

 the above, with a well-marked cup at the extremity of the 

 branches, and bearing here and there elongate bodies, supported 

 on separate ramuli. The polype has from 10-12 tentacles. 



I am unable at present to decide whether these two forms are 

 referable to the same species. 



3. Bimeria, T. S. Wright. 

 B. vestita, Wright, Edinb. New Phil. Journ. for July 1859. 

 Syn. Manicellafusca, All man, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist, for July 1859. 

 Torbay and Salcombe, dredged, on other zoophytes ; not un- 

 common. [Whitby, Yorkshire.] 



4. Tubularia, Linnaeus. 

 1. T. indivisa, Linn. 

 Common, between tide-marks and from deep water. 



2. T. Dumortierii, Van Beneden. 



Salcombe Bay , dredged ; rare. 



I do not feel very certain about this species. I have referred to 

 it a very beautiful Tubularia, the tubes of which are single, slender, 

 light coloured, and rise here and there from a mass of sponge. 



3. T. larynx, Ellis. 

 Common under stones, in rock-pools. 



4. T. gracilis, Harvey. 



Dartmouth, on the chain of the steam bridge; Devonport, in 

 a similar situation (J. B. Harvey). 



The British Tubularia require further examination and more 

 accurate discrimination. There are, I believe, several undescribed 

 species. 



5. CORYMORPHA, Sai*S. 



C. nutans, Sars. 

 A single specimen of a Corymorpha was obtained some years 

 ago by Mr. Alder at "Fowey, Cornwall, which he has allowed me
