138 G Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-1918 



Additional species of Actinari.t I'n.in Alaska and adjacent waters and 

 probably inhabiting waters of British Columbia have been recorded in the 

 following work-: 



II. B. TOHHKY. Papers from the Harriman Alaska Expedition, xxx; 

 Aneinoin >. with Discussion of Variation in Metridium, Proc. Wash. Acad. of 

 Sciences, vol. IV, pp. 373-410, plates XXIV, XXV, and text-cuts, 1902. 



He described Edwardsia xipunculoides (STIMPSON) VERRILL; with anatom- 

 ical details. From Dutch harbour/Alaska. 



Charisea saxicola, new genus and species, Sitka, Alaska. 



Cribrina art< ////*/(/ = Eracti* nrtemisia (DRAYTON) VERRILL. From Sitka, 

 Yakutat, Popof island, Dutch harbour, and Puget sound. Epiactis prolifera 

 VERRILL. From Puget sound to San Pedro and Pacific Grove, Cal. Epiactis 

 ritteri, new sp., Popof island. 



J. P. McMuRRicn, Report on the Hexactiniae of the Columbia Univ. Exped. 

 to Puget Sound during the summer of 1896, Annals New York Acad. Science, 

 Vol. XIV, No. 1, pp. 1-48, plates I-III, 1901. In this work he described Metri- 

 dium diantJms (ELLIS) and its variations, from Puget sound, etc. 



Cribrina elegantissima (BRANDT) McMuRRicn. Should be Tealiopsis ele- 

 gantissima (McMuRRicn) VER. Identified doubtfully with Brandt's species, 

 and only by the colours based on Mertens' drawings. (Brandt's authority 

 better be omitted). The specimens collected by Mertens are said to have been 

 lost by shipwreck. Puget sound; Sitka (Brandt). 



Cribrina artemisia (PICKERING, in DANA) = Evactis artemisia VERRILL. 

 Discovery bay. Recorded from Alaska by Torrey. See above. Common in 

 Puget sound. Shore and shallow water. 



Urticina crassicornis (MtiL.L.) EHR. Anatomical studies, variations. Now 

 considered a distinct species by me. (U. columbiana VERRILL.) (See page 107 G.) 



Anthopleura xanthogrammica (BRANDT). Body greenish to light. Tips 

 of tentacles pink or bright red. According to Brandt, his species had copper- 

 green tentacles. Identification is very doubtful. Port Townsend and San 

 Francisco. (Sitka, Brandt). 



Epiactis prolifera VER., op. cit. 1869, p. 492; op. cit., 1899, p. 377, fig. 25. 

 Recorded from Puget sound to Pacific Grove, Cal., by Torrey. Colours de- 

 scribed. Anatomical details given. First recorded by me from Puget Sound. 1 



J. P. McMuRRiCH, in Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, for 

 1913, Vol. II, pp. 963-967, Plate XCVIII. On two raw Actinians from the coast 

 of British Columbia. The species described, are Peachia quinquecapitata and 

 Bicidium aquorece. Both were from the coast of Vancouver island. The former 

 belongs to my genus Bicidiopsis of this report; the latter to Siphonactinia, as 

 here defined. (See above pages 125 G, 128 G.) 



1 Larvae of small size were found inside the original specimens, similar to the smaller ones carried in 

 the pits on the outside. Some of the latter had twelve tentacles.
