HALCYONELLEA. 363 
The first specimen I saw of this was from the Rev. An- 
drew Urquhart, at Portpatrick, when I was only beginning 
to attend to zoophytes, and though it was small, 1 remember 
being much struck with its beauty. It is not found on the 
Ayrshire coast. I have dredged it in Lamlash Bay, Arran, 
but the specimens were the smallest and poorest I have ever 
seen. 
2. SaLIcorNaRIA sinuosa, Hassall. 
Hab. In deep water, Mr. Hassall. 
Mr. Hassall states that this differs from the ordinary 
species in the greater size of the cylinders, in the shape of 
the cells, and in the position of the apertures, which in this 
is placed in the upper part of each cell, while m the common 
one it is exactly in the centre. 
Tribe 8. HALCYONELLEA. 
** And Thou, Eternall Father, 
Provide me (Lord) of steersman, star and boat, 
That through the vast seas I may safely float : 
Or rather teach me dive, that I may view 
Deep under water, all the scaly crew, 
And dropping wet, when I returne to land 
Laden with spoyls, extoll thy mighty hand.”—Du Bartas : 
his Divine Week and Works.
