The specimen as figured by Quoy and Gaymard, is a subramose 

 cluster, an inch and a half high, consisting of a few large striated 

 calicles, six to eight lines in diameter ; but according to the descrip- 

 tion, the species is only half an inch in length " n'a qu'un derrii- 

 pouce de longueur." As it is not stated how much the figure is en- 

 larged, if at all, it is difficult to determine whether the species is 

 identical or not, with the following, with which it has many points in 

 common.
