Cribrina eleganti.'isima (Brandt) McMurrich. Should be Tealiopsis ele- 

 qoMiissima (]\IcMurrich) Ver. Identifiefl doubtfully with Brandt's species, 

 and only by the colours based on ^Mortens' drawings. (Brandt's authority 

 better be omitted). The sjiccimens collected by jMertens are said to have been 

 lost liy shipwreck. Puget sound; Sitka (l^jrandt).

 of tentacles pink or bright red. According to Brandt, his species had co])iier-

.1. P. McMuRRicH, in Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, for 

 1913, Vol. II, pp. 963-967, Plate XCVIII. On two new Actinians from the coast 

 of British Columbia. The species described are Peachia quinquecapitata and 

 Bicidium cequorece. Both were from the coast of Vancouver island. The former 

 belongs to my genus Bicidiopsis of this report; the latter to SipJwnactinia, as 

 here defined. (See above pages 125 G, 128 g.) 



'Larva3 of small size were found inside the original sf-eciniens, similar to the smaller ones carried in 

 the pits on the outside. Some of the latter had twelve tentacles.
