their narrow creeping stem by a short peduncle. The oper- 

 cular portion terminates in a notched margin, and is very 

 short. The cells spring from the sides and upper surface 

 of the stem, and turn upwards as in Bowerhankla. They 

 arc set at some distance apart." {Farre.)

Hab. On the Fleetwood buoy, T. Hincks. 



This was discovered by the Rev. Thomas Hincks, of 

 Exeter, who has kindly sent for my use his paper in the 

 'Annals,^ containing so much interesting matter respecting 

 Mimosella, Fmrella^ and other zoophytes. The following is 

 his description of this new species. The cells, which are 

 more slender than those of F. repens, are produced below 

 into a long, gently tapering pedicle, which connects them 

 with a creeping fibre. Tliis is equal to the cell in length, 

 or exceeds it; it becomes much attenuated towards the 

 base. A thread of matter passes down from the bottom of 

 the stomach through the pedicle. The cells are generally 

 set a little obliquely on their stalks. The polypes have 

 twelve arms, and exhibit a structure like that of F. repens. 

 It may be known at once by its long and tapering pedicle."
