In ftagnant Pools about Bantry. Mifs Hutch'uis. 



The gelatinous nature of this Confervre makes it very difficult to invefti- 

 gate its real nature after it has been dried, in which ftate alone I have at 

 prefent feen it. It is then fcarcely diflinguifhable by the linked eye from 

 C.fpiralis, which it refembles both in its color, the mode of its growth, 

 and the fizeof its filaments, though under a microfeope the internal ftruc- 

 ture appears fo widely diffimilar. There is however a ftrong peculiarity 

 in it even in this ftate, that its exceffively gelatinous texture prevents the 

 filaments from cohering together, or even touching each other, and they lie 

 quite diitinct upon the paper. Mifs Kutchins remarks that it has when 

 recent a beautiful color. For the magnified drawing in my fupplementary 

 plate B, I am indebted to Mr. Hooker, but it was unavoidably made from 

 a fpecimen which had been dried. 

 28.* implexa. C. filis fimplicibus, crifpato-implexis, tenuibus, mollibus, in- 

 tense lurido viridibus; articulis diametro fefquilongioribus. T. B. 



On Rocks in the Sea near Bantry. Mifs Hut chins. 



This fpecies is nearly allied to C. tortuofa, but the filaments are more 

 entangled and flender, the texture lefs rigid, and the joints fhorter. The 

 drawing in plate B was made by Mr. Hooker, with power 1 of his micro- 

 fcope, from a fpecimen which had been dried.
