 F.L.S,, &c. 



Bead at the Spring Meeting, May 25, 1866. 



S tlie Spring Meeting of the Institution aflfords a proper op- 

 portunity for communicating such matters of interest as have 

 occurred during the year, in connection with the Natural History 

 of the County, I will proceed to specify some new acquisitions to 

 our knoAvn native Fauna ; no one of which has hitherto found a 

 place in our published Catalogues. 



BJiodophjton Couchli is a species of Coral, of the family Alcy- 

 onidim, and nearly allied to the sub-family Lobular la. This example, 

 which is the only one known, was drawn up, by a fisherman of 

 Polperro, from deep water, attached to a shell. It was submitted 





Rhodophyton Conchii. 



to Dr. John E. Gray, of the British Museum ; who has given an 

 'account of it, in compcarison with other recognized species of this 

 family, with a figure, in the last published portion of the Journal 

 of the Zoological Society ; and he has done me the honour to attach 

 to it my name.
