MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 13 



We are often asked about the sea-anemones of Port 

 Erin. It may be useful to give here a list of the different 

 kinds we have found round the southern end of the 

 Isle of Man, between Fleshwick Bay and Port St. Mary. 

 One of the best places to collect anemones is the Calf 

 Sound, especially on the group of rocks called " The 

 Cletts," at low water. Mr. A. Chopin, of Manchester, 

 has kindly given me some additions to the list. I give 

 first the correct modern* name of each species, then after 

 each is placed in brackets the name used by Gosse in the 

 " Actinologia Britannica," the book generally consulted, 

 or any other name that has been much employed, and 

 finally is given in each case the English name used by 

 Gosse and other writers.
