“ Other specimens have occurred of similar aspect and 
conformation, chiefly from four to six inches high, but none 
above nine. One beautiful and luxuriant specimen, four 
inches high, and diverging four inches, might have been 
circumscribed by an ellipse two inches and a quarter across. 
By gross computation, 1200 hydre, deeper-coloured than 
peach-blossom, decorated this latter specimen. ‘The head 
or hydra of this zoophyte is deciduous*.” 
‘* Full many a gem of purest ray serene 
The dark unfathom’d depths of ocean bear ; 
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, 
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”’ 
*< Thy way is in the sea, and Thy paths in the great waters, and Thy foot- 
steps are not known.”
