The Actiniæ were dispersed about the pieces of rock, in the reticulate cavities of a large piece of Eschara foliacea, and in the holes of Coralline-covered stones. The Serpulæ and the Ascidiæ were attached to Oyster shells, as was the Anomia; the other animals, being vagrant, chose their own resting places and wanderings.

In about a week after the original stocking, the following animals were added to the collection in the Tank:—

1 Æquoreal Pipefish Syngnathus æquoreus
1 Rough Doris Doris pilosa
