A minute species, and a beautiful object for the microscope. I have 

 seen the antennae of a crab (Lithodes spinosa) so profusely invested 

 with this zoophyte as to resemble hairy brushes. The coralline in 

 this instance had chosen a station by which it obtained all the bene- 

 fits of locomotion. Our figure represents a specimen which had 

 adorned in a similar manner the remnant of a Pluraularia falcata. The 

 stem is a capillary corneous tube which creeps and twists itself upon 

 its support, throwing out, at alternate intervals, a long slender stalk 

 twisted throughout or only partially, that supports a bell-shaped cup 

 of perfect transparency and prettily serrulated round the brim. The 

 ovarian vesicles arise from the creeping tube, are sub-pedicellate, 

 ovate, coarsely wrinkled, and contain each several ova. Polypes with 

 numerous slender white tentacula.
