SEA-ANEMONES. 



6g 



purplish, and some of them are indistinctly marked by two 

 transverse bands of a darker hue. The disk is pale olive, and 

 the mouth white or pinkish white, not raised like that of the 

 Beadlet. Its usual habitat is in rock-pools that are uncovered 

 only at very low water. One called the Pallid Anemone (S. 

 pal It da] is, I feel sure, a mere colourless variety of S. rosea. 



ORANGE-DISK ANEMONE. 



The Snowy Anemone (Sagarlia nived) is in form much like 

 the last-mentioned species, but its column is coloured pale 

 olive-brown, paler near the base. The whitish suckers on the 

 upper part are more prominent than in the Rosy Anemone. 

 The disk, the tentacles, and the mouth are all a beautiful 

 white. It will be found in the low-lying rock-pools.
