On the Diamond you will find many, or most of those gay creatures which attract your eye in the THE \TONDEES OF THE SHORE. 167 central row of tanks at the Zoological Gardens : great twisted masses of Serpulse,^ those white tubes of stone, from the mouth of which protrude pairs of rose-coloured or orange fans, flashing in, quick ag light, the moment that your finger approaches thera or your shadow crosses the water.
You wiU dredge,, too, the twelve-rayed sun-star (Solaster papposa), with his ric...h scarlet armour ; and more strange, and quite as beautiful, the bird's foot star (Palmipes men)branaceus), which you may see crawling by its thousand sucking-feet in the Crystal Palace tanks, a pentagonal webbed bird's foot, of scarlet and orange shagreen. With him, most pro^ bably, will be a specimen of the great purple heart-urchin (Spatangus purpureus), clothed in pale lilac horny spines, and other Echinoderms, for which you must cojisult Forbes's " British Star-fishes : " but perhaps the species among them which will interest yon most, will be the common brittle-star (Ophiocoma rosula), of which a hundred or so, I can promise, shall come up at a single haul of the dredge, 1 Plate X.
