The account of this new species I take by kind permis- 

 sion from Mr. Busk's account of it in the ' Annals of Na- 

 tural History/ Mr. Peach, by whom it was first observed 

 to be distinct from C. neritina, remarks that the species is 

 bushy, erect, attached to stones, old shells, and to other 

 xoophytes, from deep water, brought up by fishermen's lines 

 off Peterhead. "It is white, and of a delicate shining 

 aspect when dry ; the branches long, slender, and straggling.
