:;. Alecto. Lamour. 



The name of this genus is from Alecto, one of the Furies. 



1. Alecto major. It seems I was the first to find this in Britain. I 

 got it on a fine largo Pinna sent to me from Tiree, with no other 

 wr appi ng than a cotton pocket-handkerchief. I remember sending it to 

 my friend Dr. Johnston, saying, as he mentions, that it was like a 

 trickling tear. 



-. Alecto dilatans. Dredged by Mr. Hyndman, off Sana Island, and 

 by Professor Edward Forbes, off the Mull of Galloway. 



4. Crisia. Lamour. 



1. Crisia eburnea. This is very common, particularly on the smaller 

 Alga?, and on none of them more than Dasya coccinea. 



2. C. denticulata. This, which was formerly C. luxata, is often met 

 with, though not at all so frequently as C. eburnea. 



3. C. aculeata. Found by Mr. W. Thompson at Ballantrae, and 

 found, though rarely, by us here. 



4. C. geniculata. This was sent by me, in an early stage of my zoo- 

 phytical studies, to Dr. Johnston, from whom I learned that it had not 

 before been found in Scotland. It is most abundant here, but seldom on 

 any thing except Desmarestia aculeata, which is often quite hoar} 

 with it. 



5. Crisidia. Milne, Edwards. 



1. Crisidia cornuta. This is not at all rare with us, being found on 

 Delesseria sanguinea, and oftener on Phyllophora rubens. It is the Goat's 

 horn coralline. 



II. CELLEPORINA. 



Family. — Eucratiada. 



6. Eucratea. Lamour. 



This is from Eucrate, one of the Nereids. 



1 . Eucratea clielata. This is the Bull's horn coralline. When Dr. 

 Johnston states, on my authority, that it is frequent on the Ayrshire 

 coast, it must be from some mistake on my part. I must have meant 

 Crisidia cornuta ; for though this is found on seaweeds at times here, 

 it is rather rare. I observed it on Delesseria sent to me by Lady 

 fauna Campbell, got by her in the Island of Islay. 



7. Anguinaria. Lamour. 



Tins takes its name from anguis, a serpent. 



1. Anguinaria spatulata. This is very rare here. I have got it only 

 once or twice on Dasya coccinea. My friend Dr. Fleming desires me to 

 be on the look out for it on Bryopsis y laying that it is found on 



that alga oo the coast of Devon, and what for no should it be found on 

 tin- lame on the coast of Ayrshire ? I shall attend to this.
