BUGULA GRACILIfc^, BusL B. (PL 36. figs. 4-6.) 

 1858. Biu/ula gracilis, Busk, Quai't. Journ. Micr. Sci. vol. vi. p. 125, pi. 10. iig-. 1. 



A single and small specimen of this veiy delicate and slender species 

 dredged off Funchal.

Lamouroux (Hist. Poly. Coral, flex. 1816^ p. 115) established the genus 

 Mollia, with Mollia patellaria^ Moll, as the type and only species given. The 

 generic name has been much misapplied, but must by every right be used for 

 this and such other forms as may be regarded as congeneric. 



Senhor De Noronha sent me two large round masses of Nullipore from 

 the Salvages, and M. patellaria was coating the rough surface in great 

 profusion.

I found specimens of this species undetermined in the Johnsonian

 agree with Waters in regarding as a worn specimen of this species.
