therefore adopt the name recently given to this species by Pro- 
fessor Allman. Besides the locality formerly given, I have met 
with C. eximia at Cullercoats and Tynemouth, and Mr. Hodge 
also gets it at Seaham Harbour. It appears to be the most 
common species of our coast.

I have met with this species only once or twice on our coast. 
It is the smallest and most delicate of our Corynes, seldom rising 
above a quarter of an inch in height. The stem is not at all 
annulated.

Some confusion has arisen about this species, the polypary of 
which I described under the name of Tubularia implexa in my 
Catalogue, not having at that time been able to ascertain the 
character of the polypes, from which alone the genus in this 
group can be properly determined. Dr. T. Strethill Wright, 
however, has since met with it in a living state, and has found 
it to belong to the genus Coryne. The Coryne figured in my 
Catalogue under the provisional name of Coryne pelagica (t. ix., 
f. 2), appears, in fact, to be the young of it. I have lately met 
with it again in this state at Cullercoats, and have ascertained 
that its medusoid is similar to the one described by Professor 
Allman as that of his C. Briareus, which I now think, with Dr.
