CORYMORPHA. 119 



I have a specimen of it from Lady Keith Murray, founrl 

 by her near Stonehaven. This species is about three inches 

 in height, the tubes slender, of a pale colour, and horny. 

 "When the polypes are all displayed, they afford a very 

 interesting spectacle, equalled by no other species I have 

 seen; the crimson heads contrasting finely with their white 

 polypidoms, especially when loaded with the reproductive 

 bulbules, which pullulate from the inner side of the bases of 

 the inferior tentacula." (Dr. Johmton.} Mr. Harvey found 

 his specimens at the steam-bridge on the river Dart, in 

 clusters on the links of the chain, and also on the links 

 over which the floating bridge at Devonport runs.

Hab. Orkney, Forbes and Goodsir. 



For the generic and specific characters we must refer to 

 Dr. Johnston's work, pp. 54 and 55, and to his characteristic 

 figure, plate vii. fig. 4. 



" We found the Corymorpha in ten-fathom water in the 

 Bay of Stromness, Orkney. When placed in a vessel of 

 sea-water, it presented the appearance of a beautiful flower.
