308 HISTORY OF BRITISH ZOOPHYTES. 
The process on the side of the cell makes it very remark- 
able. (See Dr. Johnston’s plate liv. fig. 6.) 
8. LEPRALIA ANSATA, 
Hab. On slaty rocks, Cornwall, Peach. 
Cells ovato-globose, slightly punctured; aperture circu- 
lar, with a sinus above. ‘On each side of the aperture a 
hollow auricle projects forwards ; and, viewed in front, these 
auricles have a miniature resemblance to the ears of a fox

found in the east and west of Scotland, and in the north 
and south of England. 
9. Lepratia ovauis, A. H. Hassall. 
Hab. On dead bivalve shells. Kingstown and Burnham, 
Hassall; coast of Ireland, Mr. W. Thompson; Devonshire, 
Mr. Peach and Dr, Greville. : 
The cells are oval and distinct ; the aperture is circular, 
with a knob above, and two spines on the under lip. 
10, Lepratia tingaris, 4. H. Hassall. 
Hab. On stones, east of Kingstown Harbour, and at the 
Giant’s Causeway, Hassall; Orkney, Dr. Greville. 
I have before me an Orcadean specimen from Dr. Gre- 
ville, on an old bivalve. It is a very perfect one. It is 
marked with lines, which are the boundaries betwixt the
