A few were nipped up on the south side of Castle Harbor, and at the passage way conducting from the north into that body of water. Rhipidogorgia flabellum, Valenciennes, The purple variety of this species is abundant more par- ticularly in the northern waters, both near the outer reef and 104 THE BERMUDA ISLANDS. on the shallows known as Devonshire Flats. We failed t...o obtain any of the yellow forms, and I am not positive that this variety has ever been found at the Bermudas. Gorgonia (Plexaura) purpurea, Pallas. Gorgonia (Plexaura) flexuosa, Lamouroux. This species, of which we obtained several specimens, is, I believe, without doubt the Gorgonia angniculus of Dana (U. S. Exploring Expedition, Zoophytes, p. 668). It is referred to under Lamouroux's name as a member of the Bermudian fauna in Dana's "Corals and Coral Islands, " p. 114, 1872. Gorgonia (Plexaura) homomalla, Esper.
