48 MARINE FAUNA OF ST. ANDREWS. 



Lmralia granifera, Johnst. ; Busk, Catal. p. 83, pi. 77. f. 2, 

 pi. 95. f. 6 & 7. 



Abundant on the under surface of stones near low-water 

 mark in considerable patches. The aspects of the old and 

 new cells differ much. The new cells glisten like those of 

 L. hyalina, have a number of opaque white granules, a D- 

 shaped aperture, and a distinct mucro ; the transverse wrinkles 

 of the cells are also apparent ; and in some very new ones the 

 granules are also glistening and hyaline, and show the per- 

 forations. In the old cells the walls are opaque, whitish, or 

 yellowish, the granules still more opaque, perhaps larger, but 

 less defined and beautiful. 



Lepralia hyalina, L. ; Busk, Catah p. 84, pi. 82. f. 1-3,
