pi. iii. ; on, the frontispiece 10 soft Anthozoa from the Red Sea are 
figured : — Discosoma alburn^ Ceratactis clavata, Phyllactis cichoracea, 
'Thalassianthusa§ter^ Palythoaster{g. n. ?) savignii, Hyalopathes corti- 
cata, Sympodium fuliginosum, Xenia umbellata^ Ammothea virescens, and 
Sarcophytum pulmo. 
Actinoloba dianthus^Wi.y Edwardsia calUmorpha^ Gosse, and 
goodsiri, McIn., Peachia hastata^ G.,and Alcyonium digitatum are figured 
from nature in McIntosh’s Mar. Invert. St. Andr. pis. i.-iii. & vii. 
F. E. Schulze [vide infra, p. 660] enumerates the Actinice and othe^ 
Anthozoa observed on the cruise of the “Pommerania” in 1872, figuring 
(pi. ii. fig. 1) Cophobelemnon leuckarti, K611., and (fig. 2) a young Copho-. 
belemnon (stelliferum ?). Notes on the localities, depth, nature of the 
bottom, &c., ?ire given for each species in the usual manner. 
The Greenland Actinice and other Anthozoa are enumerated in the 
“Arctic Manual,” p. 186. [No. 11 ought to be cancelled as identical 
with No. 10.] 
Fischee (2) enumerates the Actinidce observed on the western shores 
of France, with remarks on their characters, synonymy, habits, colours, 
and bathymetrical distribution. They are only found in the littoral, 
laminarian (0-28 metres), and nulhporan (28-72 metres) zones ; in the 
next zone (72-184 metres) their place is taken by a few Corals and 
Gorgonians. 
Umbellularice were found, on the Challenger Expedition, at 8 different 
stations in the Atlantic, in the Antarctic, and in the Pacific Sea, at depths 
from 1375-2600 fathoms ; WillemoEs-Suhm (9).

Sea, on coral reefs). 
Palythoa savignii, Aud., is the type of Hackel’s (5) genus Palythoaater.

fusiform. 
Monoxenia, g. n., Hackel. Single Octactinice, differing from Haimea and
