their narrow creeping stem by a short peduncle. The oper- 
cular portion terminates in a notched margin, and is very 
short. The cells spring from the sides and upper surface 
of the stem, and turn upwards as in Bowerbankia. They 
are set at some distance apart.” (Furre.)

Hab. On the Fleetwood buoy, T. Hincks. 
This was discovered by the Rev. Thomas Hincks, of 
Exeter, who has kindly sent for my use his paper in the 
‘Annals,’ containing so much interesting matter respecting 
Mimosella, Farrella, and other zoophytes. The following is 
his description of this new species. The cells, which are 
more slender than those of F. repens, are produced below 
into a long, gently tapering pedicle, which connects them 
with a creeping fibre. This is equal to the cell in length, 
or exceeds it; it becomes much attenuated towards the 
base. A thread of matter passes down from the bottom of 
the stomach through the pedicle. ‘The cells are generally 
set a little obliquely on their stalks. The polypes have 
twelve arms, and exhibit a structure like that of F. repens. 
It may be known at once by its long and tapering pedicle.” 
(Hincks.)
