 disposed. 



Tubularia gel. Pall. EL 85 — Found along with the preceding. 



Height about two inches, tufted, shrubby ; stem dichotomously branched ;

 tacula regularly disposed, and appearing as if webbed at the base ; mouth 

 with a valve.

On fuci. 

 Height about half an inch ; stem round, swelling into an ovate head, va- 

 rying in form ; the mouth is sometimes truncated with a radiated disc ; the 

 tentacula are from 5 to 15 in number, longer than the head over which they 

 are distributed, and nearly of equal dimensions throughout ; the vesicles are 

 globular, and adhering to the body, at the base of the tentacula, by a short 

 footstalk. The whole colour is pink, with a dark medullary band. 



206. C. glandulosa. — Dichotomously branched, coriaceous, 

 tentacula with globular heads.

f. 8.) Cor. gland. Lamarck, Hist. ii. 62. Flem. Phil. Zool. 606, t. v. 



f. 2.— On stones near low water-mark. 

 Height nearly two inches, branches wrinkled, head lengthened, oval, 

 mouth small ; tentacula thick, wrinkled, with globular heads, which adhere 

 to the fingers when applied; vesicles globular, sessile, scattered over the 

 head ; colour tinged with pink, with a dark medullary band. 



We are inclined to consider the Coryna as one of the Tuhtdariadm, having 

 a reduced sheath, and agreeing in the tentacular origin of the ovaria. The 

 Plumatella, on the other hand, probably belongs to the Sertulariadcs, though 

 its vesicular mode of reproduction has not been detected. 



Gen. LXXV. HYDRA. — Free, tentacula terminal, and dis- 

 posed in a circle, and furnished with suckers. 

 * Inhabiting fresh water. 

 207- H. viridis. — Body linear, tentacula from six to twelve, 

 about the length of the body. 



Polype verd, Trembley, Mem. 22, t. i. f. 1. — H. vir. and H. grisea, Linn. 

 Syst. i. 1320. Ellis, Cor. t. xxviii. f. C. — Common on aquatic plants 

 in shallow slow running streams.
