the other sections for making " finds " and carrying out some 

 original research. 



A paper by Mr. Mabbs on " Guernsey Sea-Anemones " 

 was read before the Society at the beginning of the year, 

 which summarised our knowledge up till that time. " Of the 

 22 species mentioned by Gosse as found in the Channel 

 Islands, J 2 have been found here recently." Since Mr. Mabbs 

 Avrote that paper several additions have been made. 



Sag art ia ro.sea was discovered by myself near Bordeaux 

 in October, 1906, and by Mr. F. Wright at Havelet on 

 April 1, 1907. 



Saf/artia nivea. On May 29th, at Bordeaux, Mr. E. 

 Sharp discovered a monstrosity having three mouths. I also 

 found a considerable number in Sark. 



Ceria)it]nis IJoydii. Only recorded for Herm. Was 

 found at Havelet Bay by Mr. E. Sharp on April 29. This 

 anemone is remarkable by being enveloped in a loose non- 

 adherent tube or sheath of mud and sand. 



Pcacliia undata is "only doubtfully recorded for Guernsey." 

 On April 1 last ^Ir. F. Wright found a specimen in the sand 

 at Havelet Bay, and a month later Messrs. E. Sharp and F. 

 Wright found another in the same locality. So this establishes 

 this rare species as a native of Guernsey. 



CarijopJiijIlia Snuthii is another species whose occurrence 

 was uncertain. In October, 1906, however, I found two near 

 Bordeaux. In December, 1906, Mr. E. Sharp found a colony 

 of fourteen near the same locality, and in September of this 

 year tw^o specimens at Flslet, while on February 15th Mr. F. 

 Wright found a single specimen near Castle Cornet. 



Sagartia spJigrodeta. I discovered several specimens of 

 this in Sark last summer, and Mr. E. Sharp also found it at 

 Petit Port. 



So this brings our list of anemones for Guernsey up to 

 18. The jump from 12 to 18 in one year shows what can be 

 done by systematic search. 



Peachia Jiastata is also recorded by Mr. Sinel as found 

 recently at Herm by him. 



Other interesting finds among the Coelenteraia are 

 Actinoloha, diautJms (or Diantliun jjhnnosu) the lovely Plumose 

 Anemone. Hitherto Ave had only two or three specimens 

 recorded, all from I'Ancresse Bay. Now we have them 

 reported from several other localities. I have discovered 

 them some distance to the north of Bordeaux, and at Plein- 

 mont, and Mr. E. Sharp discovered a large colony of fine 

 specimens hanging from the roof of a cave in a certain spot
