The spicula of the coonenchyma and verruce are light but 
Bright red; the larger ones are irregularly oblong, blunt at the 
ends, and covered throughout with rough, often lacerate, spinu- 
lose warts; some of these were 288" by ‘084, 264 by “072, 
‘228 by ‘096, ‘216 by 084. With these there are many 1rregu- 
lar, rudely spinulose, acute spindles of about the same length, 
but more slender, measuring “204 by ‘048, ‘192 by 060. There 
are many smaller obtuse, fusiform, oblong and glomerate spl- 
cula, of various sizes, covered with rough spinulose warts, like 
the larger ones. The club-shaped spicula are less numerous, 
and usually smaller than the largest oblong ones, but are simi- 
larly covered with rude spitules. There are also many small 
oblong spicula, with a smooth naked median zone, and bearing 
a few small acute spinules on each end, and other similar ones 
with small distant spinules on all parts; some of these are 
irregularly branched, either with three, four, five, or more points, 
but regular crosses are rare. The polyp-spicula are deep red, 
simple, fusiform, or club-shaped spicula, with a few irregular 
minute spinules, or with the surface merely uneven ; they are 
about 156 long and -036 in diameter.

Pita Yarrow has sent numerous specimens of this species 
m Fort Macon, and also a colored drawing, showing the ap- 
pearance while living. The base, as in the other species of the 
genus, is dilated, with a thin border, often expanding into lobes
