at a very low spring-tide, in the summer of 1857. My friend 
favours me with the following note of the capture: — “It was 
soft and fleshy, without trace of corallum ; the individuals 
connected by a creeping fibre running over the under sur- 
face of the stone. I chipped a piece of it off, which fell 
face-downwards, and I fancy got injured in consequence ; 
as it never showed any signs of life after I put it into my 
bottle. I kept it two or three days in expectation that it 
might recover, but, as it began to decay, I secured the 
remainder by putting it into spirit.” 
There were about a dozen polypes in the colony, all of 
the same size, which seems to be good evidence that they 
had attained adult dimensions.
