214 ANTHOZOA HELIANTHOIDA. 



The integument is much tougher than that of A. mesembryanthe- 

 mum, having a coriaceous feel. The body is never tumid andl 

 globose as that species usually is, but much depressed ; and its- 

 colour was always, so far as I saw, of a dull olive green, with pale 

 tentacula. The tubercles were of the most vivid ultramarine." 

 E. Forbes. 



3. A. CHIOCOCCA, conoid, smooth, red, unicolorous ; tentacula 

 numerous, nearly equal ; tubercles of the oral disc white. W. 

 P. Cocks.*

Hob. " At extreme low-water mark, attached to clean and smooth 

 stones or rocks. Rare at Falmouth, but at St. Ives found in great 

 numbers : a few at Penzance, Newland, Mousehole, Merizion, St. 

 Michael's Mount, and also on rocks situated in the bay midway 

 between Penzance and St. Michael's Mount." W. P. Cocks. 



" Shape much like that of A. mesembryanthemum ; colour bright 

 scarlet ; tentacula filiform, and somewhat lighter and brighter than 

 the body ; edge of the disc studded with white tubercles ; and 

 a light flesh-coloured stripe encircles the edge of the base." W. P. 

 Cocks. 



4. A. CHRYSOSPLENIUM, conoid in contraction, shortly cylin- 

 drical, green striped or dotted with Iright yellow ; tentacula 



I, and rather short. W. P. Cocks.

Hah. Attached to stones at low-water mark, St. Ives, W. P. 

 Cocks. 



" A small species found attached to the under surface of stones in 

 pools ; the old ones are solitary, not more than one on a stone ; but 

 there are two or sometimes four young on the same stone. They 

 vary in colour from a bright pea-green to the dark holly-leaf tint, 

 striped or dotted with bright yellow ; the (labial) tubercles and 

 edging of the base of the same colour, but somewhat lighter in tint. 

 I have had some of this species in my possession for weeks, well 



* W. P. Cocks, Esq., of Falmouth. I am greatly indebted to this gentleman for 

 numerous characteristic drawings and sketches of the Actiniae, accompanied with re- 

 marks, of which I have freely availed myself ; and the reader of this bodk " I hope, 

 together with me, will be thankful to him, that he would so readily impart them for 

 the further increase of this knowledge."
