A Year at the Shore

by Philip Henry Gosse

[36] Sagartia rosea, of which a specimen, only partially open, is delineated in the centre foreground of Plate [VII.]

[37] Sagartia miniata.

[38] Sagartia nivea; two of this species, one closed, the other partially opened, are seen at the left corner of the foreground in Plate [VII.]

[39] Sagartia venusta, a group of which occupies the right-hand side of Plate [IX.], including both expanded and closed individuals.

[40] Sag. bellis, sphyrodeta, troglodytes, pura.

[41] See my History of the British Sea-anemones.

[42] Actinoloba dianthus.

[43] For a fuller account of these organs and their offensive function, which constitute an apparatus not exceeded in interest by any that I know of in the whole realm of natural history, I beg to refer the reader to my Naturalist’s Rambles on the Devonshire Coast, and my Actinologia Britannica, passim.

[44] Tealia crassicornis, which forms the subject of Plate [VIII.]

[45] Lucernaria campanulata is represented in the upper right-hand corner of Plate [VII.]
