Rocks by the Sea fide at Cawfie, Murrayfljire ; Mr. Hooker and Mr. 

 Boner. 



Mr. Hooker by comparing the plants gathered in the above mentioned 

 places with Mr. Turner's authentic fpecimens from Dr. Mohr, afcertained 

 the propriety of the prefent reference. It is nearly allied to C- confervicola, 

 but differs in its far darker color, fhorter filaments, and in the fingular 

 manner by which they appear agglutinated together towards the bafe. 

 The drawing in the fupplementary plate A was made from a dried 

 fpecimen by Mr. Hooker. The plant is reprefented of its natural fize, 

 and alfo when magnified with powers 3 and 2 of a compound microfcope.

This fpecies is nearly allied to C. dijlorta and C. mirabilis, the branches 

 being fometimes united in the manner of the former, and fometimes as in 

 the latter. It may be diflinguifhed from both of thefe, as well as from the 

 other Ofcillatoritt, by its remarkably curled and twifted filaments, and by
