bell-shaped or cup-shaped form, and attached by a slender pedicel, so 
as to hang from the under side of objects. The largest specimens 
were over 50 ,um long. 
Alder and Hancock recorded the occurrence of the species, in a 
single instance, at Falmouth, England. Bergh’s specimens were 
from the North Atlautic, south of Newfoundland.

1879. One specimen only. 
Coryphella rutila Verrill. 
Coryphella rutila Verrill, Amer. Journ. Scl, xvii, p. 314, April, 1879. 
Collected by the writer, at Eastport, Me., low-water mark, 1864, 
1868, 1872. It occurs both under stones, and on algae, etc., fully ex- 
posed to view, and very conspicuous on account of its brilliant red 
color and large size. It probably possesses netling cells powerful 
enough to protect it from the attacks of fishes. In that case its 
bright colors would serve as a protection, by warning off enemies, as 
is the case with bright colored Actiniae.

This species occurs from Massachusetts Bay and Salem harbor, 
Mass., to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and from low-water, at Eastport, Me., 
to 51 fathoms, at Jeffrey’s Ledge. This is closely allied to C. sal- 
monaeea (Couth.) V. ( non Bergh).

This has bright red branchite, with white tips. 
By Dr. Gould it was not distinguished from U E. ruji branch ia It's,” 
and was, therefore, omitted from his report, as a genuine species. 
Whether the latter species actually occurs on our coast is doubtful. 
This species sometimes occurs at low-water mark at Eastport, Me.,
