CHEBUCTO NULLIPORES—HONEYMAN. 9 
Specimens Nos. 2 and 3 are amorphous. Of No. 1 the corallines 
encrust a stone. No. 2 and 3 are detached from their original 
support. Some of the tufts of the cespitose coralline have 
pits which have some resemblance to pores. Parts of the 
surface of the lamellar coralline have also numerous markings 
like pores. Still they are evidently nullipores. 
Attaches 1 are specimens of Algw, Rhodosperms. Cor. No. 
2 has a large bunch of a beautiful alga. 
This seems to be an article of food for fishes. I was familiar 
with it from the contents of fish stomachs before I met with it 
in its place of growth and was puzzled to ascertain its character. 
Its name is Ptilota Serrata. 
At. 2. In the recesses of the coralline tufts of specimen No. 1, 
are numerous foramenifera. In the bushy edge of 
specimen No. 2, are also specimens of the same for- 
amenifer. 
At. 3. On specimen 1 was a small ophiura star fish—Brittle 
Star. 
At. 4. On specimen I are specimens of a species of Flustra. 
At. 5. In specimen 2 are several saxicava. These have exca- 
‘ vated their dwellings in the thick coralline—No. 2 
having entered betwen the base and the attachment. 
At. 6. On all three are specimens of the pretty little gasteropod 
chiton ruber. There were many of these, more than 
can be now seen ; unfortunately the Museum mice 
examined the specimens, and appropriated several of 
the chitons and the little ophiwra. 
At. 7. Are two pretty little patella. One is whole, the other is 
crushed. The species is Patelloida, or Lottia tes- 
tudinalis. 
At. 8. Is another little patelloida. It is evidently a different 
species from putelloida testudinalis. It may be pat- 
elloida alveus. 
There are also many little white subconical forms on the 
tufts of No. 1. I have not been able to ascertain their nature. 
We have thus noticed: Algae, Foramenifera, Ophiura, 
Polyzoa, Lamellibranchiata, Gasteropoda, Incertae sedis—7.
