110 ANTHOZOA HYDROIDA. 



Campanularia intertexta, Couch Corn. Faun. iii. 41, pi. 11, fig. 3. 



Hob. Parasitical on Sertularinse, not uncommon. 



" This, which is, I believe, quite new, differs so remarkably from 

 any of the kindred species, that it cannot easily be mistaken. It so 

 closely resembled a very loose-textured sponge, that several speci- 

 mens were laid aside for a time, till that class came under considera- 

 tion. I have found many specimens encrusting the Sertularia 

 polyzonias, Campanularia dumosa, and other corallines from deep 

 water, about seven leagues from the Deadman, in a line S.E. to 

 S.S.W. It encrusts or surrounds the stem and branches for about 

 half an inch in length ; it is ovoid, and formed of minute brown 

 hollow tubes variously interwoven. The cells, which are minute, 

 stand a little from the surface, and are campanulate with even trun- 

 cated apertures. I have been unable to refer this to any described 

 species, and have therefore proposed to call it intertexta, as descrip- 

 tive of its appearance." R. Q. Couch. This seems a doubtful 

 zoophyte. I have seen many specimens, but none with cells. 



4. C. SYBINGA, stem creeping, capillary ; cells on shorter 

 twisted pedicles, tubulous, with a plain operculated margin.
