7. Bale enumerates in his catalogue two species of Sertularia 

 under the same name, viz., tridentata, Sertularia tridentata, 

 Lamouroux, (catalogue, p. 96) and Sertularia tridentata. Busk, 

 (catalogue, p. 79.) 



In my former papers I have accepted these two, the Lamouroux 

 species of which seems doubtful, being not sufficiently described 



I have lately obtained a Hydroid in Poi-t Jackson, which I 

 believe may be identical with Lamouroux species, which I propose 

 to re-name Sertularia tridens, von Lendenfeld. 



Stem slightly branched, irregularly pinnate with very short 

 pinnse. Cellules campanulate, adnate throughout their entire 

 length, cylindrical or wider at the base than at the mouth, 

 parallel to the pinnte, very distinct, alternate. Aperture with two 

 small I'ounded teeth in front, and one long and sharp spine on the 

 outer margin. Height, one to two centimetres. 



Poi't Jackson, New South Wales.
