294, HISTORY OF BRITISH ZOOPHYTES. 
But I am happy that I have something new to record 
respecting this miniature moniliferous coralline. It is not 
in its right place, but must be raised a step higher. You 
will observe that it is one of the characteristics of the family 
of Hucratiada, in which it is now ranked, that “they have 
no external ovarian capsules.” But it has lately been dis- 
covered by Mrs. Gatty, of Ecclesfield Vicarage, that 7. 
divaricata has external ovarian capsules. Her eyes are 
brighter, and, as we would say in Scotland, glegger* than 
those of our masculine naturalists, and much other she had, 
as our Irish friends would say, to cause them to see the 
capsules after she had seen them herself. But now Dr. 
Johnston has seen them, and Dr. Greville has seen them, 
and Mr. Busk has seen them, and I have seen the fine 
globular capsules at the end of the cells, which are very 
obvious after they have once been detected. 
3. Hipporuoa sica, R. Q. Couch. 
Hab. On stones from deep water, common. Polperro,

* ‘When a person is very clever and very acute, we say that he is very 
gleg; so that gleg-eyed is sharp-sighted, clear-sighted, quick-sighted,— 
lynx-eyed. Since I wrote the above Mr. Peach has mentioned to me 
that the capsules of H. divaricata have been known to him for some time. —
