Happon anp SHackLETON—Wew Species of Actiniaria. 123 
THALASSIANTHIN &. 
THALASSIANTHIDZ. 
Actineria dendrophora, n. sp. 
Form.—Column, soft, smooth ; base slightly expanded; oral 
dise greatly expanded, and irregularly folded or puckered, with its 
edge produced into lobes some 300 or 400 in number; the aboral 
aspect of the lobes is closely crowded with globular, pedunculated 
tentacles, the oral or upper surface being covered with ramified 
tentacles, these latter extend along the disc, in radial series, to a 
greater or less extent, but none reach the mouth; alternating with 
the lobes are comparatively large dendritic tentacles, these are 
more aborally situated than the lobes; disc, smooth, inclined to 
be crateriform in the centre, non-contractile ; mouth, rounded, on 
a cone with two gonidial grooves. 
Colour.—Column, pinkish ; dise, translucent pinkish brown, with 
a delicate green sheen ; mouth pale ; capitate tentacles, pink, with 
a cream-coloured speck on tip (they look just like pink pearls) ; 
dendritic tentacles of same colour as disc, but, owing to their round 
contour, the green sheen is more apparent, and this is especially so 
on the finer branches, which thus appear decidedly green. 
Dimensions. — Column, height about 70 mm.; diameter, 45- 
50 mm.; diameter of disc, 125 mm. 
Habitat.—Surface of reef, Mer. 
This species is quite distinct from the only hitherto described 
species of the genus A. villosa (Quoy et Gaim.). The specific 
name is derived from the numerous small tree-like tentacles on the 
disc. 
ACTININ&. 
ACTINIIDA. 
Condylactis Gelam, n. sp. 
form.—Column, smooth, expanded at capitulum, which is fur- 
nished with suckers; disc feebly retractile ; mouth, circular with 
two or three gonidial grooves; tentacles long, in six or seven 
eycles, from about 192 to 240 in number.
