This Coralline varies from the figure of a flat kidney- 

 fhaped leaf, an inch high, with a broad ftalk, to a large 

 fubdivided, lobated and undulated one of five inches high 

 and as many broad : at the bottom of the ftalk is a tuft 

 of fine hair-like tubes. There are many varieties of this 

 curious Coralline brought to us from the Weft Indies ; 

 they are of different colors, from a greenifh brown to a 

 milk-white.

Coralline with a fingle ftem, 

 flightly incruftated, with all 

 its branches dichotomous and 

 glued together, but not co- 

 vered, forming a figure like a 

 leaf of a fan-fhape. 



Tab. 25. Fig. 7. 



We can plainly diftinguifh all the dichotomous branches 

 of this Coralline on its furface, which are each of them 

 feparately covered with a thin calcareous fubftance full of 

 pores ; thefe, by growing fo clofe to one another, be- 

 come glued or united together by their covering. 



This was found on the coaft of the Bahama iflands. It 

 is of a fea-green color, and one inch and an half high.
