Crisia eburnea Linne

 ally common in New Jersey during the winter 

 months. Known from New Jersey northwards. 



Bugula turrita Desor 



PLATE XL Fig. 14; PLATE X. Fig. 7 



Grows iii dense bush-like masses about six 

 inches long, occasionally as long as one foot; orange- 

 yellow in color. Small clusters are occasionally 

 found on floating sea-weed and piling along the New 

 Jersey shore; very abundant in water from 4 to 9 

 fathoms off southern New Jersey. It is often 

 washed on the beach and mistaken for a hydroid or 

 sea-weed (alga). 



This is the most common species of Bugula in 

 New Jersey waters. It may be distinguished from 

 the other New Jersey species by its larger size and 

 because the zooecia (individual animals) are al- 

 ways arranged in two rows. Common from Maine 

 to North Carolina.
