Erratum — In No. II of this series, p. 42, I erroneously referred Actinia cruen- 

 tata Dana to Bunodadis, overlooking the anatomical description of McMurrich 

 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xvi, p. 150, 1893), under the name Condylactis cruentata. 

 It should, I now believe, be called Adinoides cruentata K as it agrees closely with 

 the typical species of the latter genus. Page 45, Bunodella stelloides. Since, the 

 publication of No. II, I have received from Mr. J. E. Duerden, of Jamaica, larger 

 examples of this species. On dissection they were found to have 24 pairs of per- 

 fect and fertile mesenteries, thus agreeing with Bunodadis. The genus Bunodella 

 must, therefore, be dropped, and this species be called Bunodadis stelloides. More- 

 over the name Bunodella had already been used by Matthews for a genus of 

 Eurypteroidea.
