ern Australia, 
Remarks. Holotype D. 14195, 5.A. Mus. <A series of twelve from the type 
loeality and a-couple from Port Phillip convinces me of the validity of this species 
and no doubt the animal when examined will show consistent differences from 
anemone, There may in certain specimens be a faint tinge of pink without pat- 
tern. The specimens from 100 fathoms are larger, measuring 54 mm, x 25 mm,, 
but typical of the species and nothing to do with anemone.

Remarks. This species is probably a Mloraconus of the anemone type and may 
be a synonym of that species.
