122 CORALLINA. 



This elegant little Coralline is about one inch to an inch 

 and a half long, and is moft commonly of a red color, 

 fometimes green, and often white. It is ealily known by 

 being difpofed into creft-like tufts ; it differs from the 

 following, by having fhorter points at the ends of the 

 branches, and growing much thicker together. It is- 

 found in great quantities about Weymouth and Penzance 

 in the weft of England, and generally adheres to fucus's. 

 I am inclined to think, notwithftanding this difference, 

 there is a great affinity between this, the corniculata, and 

 the fpermophoros.

This Coralline is very flender, and feldom above one 

 inch long ; it is generally found of a milk-white color, 

 and never in the crefted form with the foregoing, but 

 more loofe and fpread. It adheres to fucus's, and grows: 

 in plenty near Penzance, in Cornwall.
