ferent forms ; one Anomia, one Tercbratula attached 

 to a Fususj two Lepas, and a Balanus. Six IIolo- 

 thuria t belonging to three different species, were 

 observed : a large Thalassema gave us a long-wish 

 ed for opportunity of observing, that this species 

 belongs to the Holothuria, and not to the Annu- 

 lides. Eight species of star-fish are found here, 

 partly on the rocks, and partly at the bottom of the 

 sea : among them, four are furnished with five radii, 

 and the rest with six, ten, eleven, and eighteen : 

 the latter sort, which is the largest, lives at the 

 bottom of the sea, and the number of its radii varies 

 from eighteen to twenty-one. Only one Opkiura 

 was seen. Several kinds of very large Actinia in 

 habit the rocks : all that we examined belonged to 

 the species which is externally provided with rows of 

 teats. A Velella also was caught in the open bay : 

 this is the first which has been observed in so high 

 a latitude. 



Of Zoophytes, some presented themselves of the 

 genera Antipathes, Millepora; Cellaria, Flustra two 

 species, Melobesia, Retepora, Acamarchis y Lafcea, 

 Aglaophenia, Dynamena fives pecies, Cli/tia four 

 species, and Folliculina, two species. The Anti- 

 pathes consists of a simple stem resembling wood, 

 which grows to the length of ten feet : it grows at 

 a great depth in the open bay, and is often acci 

 dentally drawn up in fishing. 



Although of all insects of this island the beetle 

 is the most numerous, yet during the whole spring
