 In deep water, Embleton Bay. — B. Emhleton, Esq. 

 This species is somewhat intermediate between Cellepora and 

 Eschara, showing the characters of the latter genus in the young 

 branches. The genera appear to run into each other and should 

 be placed together. The order of arrangement in " British Zoo- 

 phytes " is here adopted for convenience of reference.
