Mr. Borrer favored me with fpecimens of this fpecies, which he received 

 from Mr. Sovverby, but they are fo imperfect at the apices, that without 

 his affiftance I fhould not have ventured to publilh it. The color is brown, 

 and Mr Boner's larked fpecimen is about four inches in length. The 

 filaments are repeatedly branched : the branches iffue almoft at right angles 

 and are placed without order, but ufually at confiderable diftances from 

 each other, and Mr. Borrer in a letter fays, " Mr. Sowerby told me that 

 the points of all the ramuli were very long and (lender when the fpecimens 

 were recent, and fell off when they were put into frefh water." The 

 length of the joints js nearly the fame throughout the plant, and is about 

 half greater than the diameter. The capfules have not been difcovered. 

 I am indebted to Mr. Woods for the flcetch at Plate G, which reprefents 

 the ramification of the natural fize, and the joints when magnified 3.

Mr. Borrer who has examined this plant whilft recent, confiders it as a 

 diftinct fpecies, and fo far as can be judged from a dried and fomewhat 

 imperfe£t fpecimen, I entirely coincide with his opinion. He thinks that 

 it is intermediate between C. nigra and C. urceolaia, from both of which 

 among other things it may be at once diftinguifhed by its joints, which are 

 nearly of the fame length in every part of the filament, and in that refpecl 

 approaches more to C.fucoides. For the fketch in Plate G, I am indebted
