This was fifft difcovered by Mr. Catefby in the Ba- 

 hama Iflands. I have feen a fort from the Eaft Indies 

 fomething like this, but the joints are curved and bent 

 inwards at the fides : befides, they are longer in propor- 

 tion, having a greater number of cells in each joint, 

 which are difpofed in two rows lengthways, and alter- 

 nately placed with refpedr. to one another ; fo that it is a 

 different fpecies from the American one.

This beautiful little Coralline is about two inches: 

 high. It rifes from a ftem, formed of many pale-yellow 

 little tubes, and looks like a bunch of curls of a cream 

 color. It is formed of joints full of ftony cells, which 

 are conneded together by flexible tubes. The back of 

 the cells is ftriated and convex, the front is flat : on the 

 fides of the joints are little hooked fpines, and at the top 

 a few fmall hairs. There are two rows of cells in each 

 joint, three in the upper row and two in the under ; the 

 openings are oval.
