Circumstances have delayed, and will further delay, the comple- 
tion of the second part of our Report on the Actiniaria of Torres 
Straits. This being the case, we think it advisable to put on record 
a description of those new species which we have already deter- 
mined. We hope to present our completed and illustrated memoir 
in about a year’s time. 
The following is a Table of all the species we have as yet 
identified in the collection made by one of us. The order in 
which they are here placed must be regarded as provisional, as we 
are by no means satisfied with any published classification of the 
Actiniaria.
