Tealia crassicornis , O. F. Muller; Gosse, Brit. Anem. 
p. 209, pi. 4. fig. 1. 
The variety coriacea [Actinia coriacea , Cuvier) is extremely 
abundant along the West Rocks at low water, while the other 
comes in great profusion and of large size from the deep water 
of the bay. A bifid specimen occurred at the Castle rocks. 
This species is also found in the stomach of the cod.

Peachia hastata , Gosse, Brit. Anem. p. 235, pi. 8. fig. 3. 
[Plate II. figs. 5 , 6, & 7.] 
Thrown ashore on the West Sands after storms in great 
numbers, and was thus first found in Britain by Dr. John 
Reid, of St. Andrews, who published a description of his 
single example in 1848 (Physiological, Anat., and Pathol. 
Observations, p. 656, pi. 5. f. 21 & 22): his title [A. cylin- 
drica ) has therefore a prior claim to that of Mr. Gosse. It 
occurs also in the stomach of the cod.

A variety (Plate II. figs. 1 & 2) was found on the West

usual whitish specks. It is an elongated form inhabiting 
sand. 
Edwardsia Allmanni , M f I., Proc. Roy. Soc. Ed. 1864-5. 
[Plate II. fig. 3.]
