628 ZOOPHYTES. 



Non-acrogenous Cornularidse, producing corneous tubular coralla, and 

 budding by means of creeping filiform shoots. 



These zoophytes, as they appear expanded, consist of a series of 

 polyps implanted upon a filiform root-like thread ; and the coralla are 

 prominent corneous tubes, more or less enlarged upward. The species 

 hitherto seen have been found only in the temperate zone. 



The Cornularis of Quoy and Gaymard, are true Xenise. 



CORNULARIA RucosA. Lamarck. 



C.polypis luteis, tentaculis fimbriatis, papillis uniseriatis ; 

 longis, subclavatis, ruyosis. 



Polyps pale yellowish ; tentacles prominently fringed with papillae, 

 which are arranged in a single series ; tubes 2 to 4 lines long, sub- 

 clavate, rugose. 



Mediterranean Sea. 



The figures of this species represent the tubes as tapering rather 

 regularly downward, with the base nearly half the diameter of the 

 summit, and the polyp-star rather more than a line broad.

NOTE. Johnston refers to this species, a Cornularia obtained at Weymouth, on the 

 English coast, having " tubular vase-like cells from two to three lines in height," and 

 also specimens which had been named by Dr. Fleming Sertularia dumosa, in which the 

 tubes were hardly a line long. (See Brit. Zooph., p. 192, fig. 23, p. 181, and Campanu-
