Happon anp SHackLetTon—Wew Species of Actiniaria. 127 
Dimensions.—Diameter of corona, 30 mm. 
Habitat.—In crevices and holes in stones on the shore, Mabuiag,. 
October, 1888. 
This species is named after Sesere, the legendary hunter of the 
dugong, who lived on the neighbouring island of Badu (cf. 
“ Legends from Torres Straits,” Folk-lore, 1., 1890, p. 23. 
’ Wiatrix cimeta, n. sp. 
Form.—Tissues, delicate ; column, short, cylindrical ; capitulum 
produced into a very prominent rim, from which project at least 
six club-shaped enlargements, which may bear secondary tubercles. 
on their aboral aspect; tentacles rather short, in three cycles. 
(12 + 12 + 24 = 48). . 
Colour.—Kctoderm, colourless; but the endoderm everywhere 
shines through, with a brown colour; processes, with white ends; 
secondary tubercles, bright green. 
Dimensions.—Height of column, 6 mm. 
Habitat.—Surface of reef, Mabuiag, October, 1888. 
This is probably an immature form; the specific name is. 
derived from the girdle-like appearance of the capitular rim, beset, 
as it were, with bosses of emeralds. It appears to us to be allied 
to Hoplophoria coralligens, Wils.1 Prof. Mac Murrich has, however, 
informed us that this species is Viatrix globulifera (Duch.), but we 
must confess to seeing but little resemblance between the figures 
given by Wilson and by Duchassaing and Michelotti.? If Dr. 
Wilson’s species is a Viatriv, ours must, we think, be also placed 
in that genus. 
BUNODIDAE. 
Alicia rhadina, n. sp. 
Form.—Columnar, when fully extended, conical when retracted ;. 
basal dise flat, adhering; scapus, delicate, with simple and com- 
pound tubercles mainly disposed in vertical series; capitulum, 
delicate, non-tuberculate ; oral disc expanded, often crateriform,
