specimen from Stewart Isl., though without exact locality and date,

this species, labelled Macquarie Island (wrongly identified as 
Pseudopsolus macqaariensis (Dendy)) collected by Mr. A. Ha¬ 
mi 11 o n (see below, p. 335, 358). 
The specimens from Masked Island were found in great num- 
bers, together with the typical form and with Cuc. leoninoides, among 
the beautiful Melobesias, which were covering the vertical rock¬ 
wall there. Mostly they were of a fine red colour, looking, indeed, 
like strawberries, as described by Dendy (Op. cit.). The specim¬ 
ens found under stones at the shore generally had some of the 
lateral tubefeet very much extended, the outline of the body be- 
coming thereby often quite irregular, as if it were extended with 
needles. They were always rather flattened, closely appressed to 
the stones with their underside, which forms a fairly distinet sole. 
The largest specimens have a size of 4— 4.5 cm in a contracted 
State, thus, when fully extended, at least ca. 6 cm. The contracted 
specimens often have a very characteristic appearance trough the
