On the Anatomy and Relationships of New or Little known British Actiniaria

Extract

This paper contains anatomical descriptions of some British species whose systematic position has hitherto been uncertain because of the absence of detailed knowledge of their structure. To these descriptions are added notes on anatomical points of interest connected with other species.

Some of the facts gained have a general systematic bearing which will be pointed out as they occur in connection with the descriptions, or in the discussion at the end of the paper. I am indebted to Dr. Allen, Mr. W. Edgar Evans, Mr. E. Elmhirst, Miss M. Delap, and Dr. T. A. Stephenson for material, and to Dr. Esdaile for valuable guidance.
