ipecimens of the two plants together. The principal difference which I 

 can difcover, confifts in the lanceolate pods of the one, contracted with the 

 globular capfules of the other, but this however I can hardly admit to be a 

 fumcient indication of fpecific difference, fince the fame may be cbferved 

 between C. cocc'lnea and its variety, in C. arbufcula, and feveral other Con- 

 ferva, each of which fhould in that cafe be divided into two fpecies. The 

 drawing at Plate E was made by Mr. Hooker from the recent plant, and 

 reprefents the filaments magnified 3 and 1.

It appears from the third fafciculus of the Catalecta Botanica, that Dr. 

 Roth's Ceramiwn tomentofum belongs to the prefent fnecks, and is quite 

 different from C. tomentofa of Hudfon, to which I had erroneoudy referred 

 it. The latter is probably Co ami-am compaSium of Roth. 



114. fcet'ula. C. fills ramofis, coadunatis, virgatis, apicibus liberis, olivaceis; 

 ramis confertis ; articulis diametro fefqui longioribus, granula elliptica 

 includentibus. T. 



115.* paradoxa. C. lilis ramofis coadunatis, ter.uifiimis, lubricis, dilute viridi- 

 bus ; ramis longis fparfis, adpreffis •, articulis diametrum longitudine sequan- 

 tibus, granula fphierica includentibus. T. F. 



In the Sea at Bangor ; Air. Tanplcton. Beach at Brighton ; Mr. Boner. 

 A fpecimen from Mr. Templeton in Mr. Turner's Herbarium, proves 

 that he was the firft difcoverer of this moft extraordinary fpecies. It has 

 alfo been gathered on the Suffex coaft by Mr. Borrer, and it is through his 

 affiftance that I am enabled to offer the following obfervations refpe£l:ing it. 

 It grows in clofe tufts four or five inches long ; the color of my dried 

 fpecimens is light green, but in the place of growth it is probably different, 

 as Mr. Borrer in thofe which he picked up on the beach at Brighton 

 obferved a purple tinge, and was thereby led to fufpect that they had fuf-
