Fam. 4. Flustrid^. 



Grenus Flustra, B. M. Cat. 



1. Flustra serrulata, n. sp. PL XIII. figs. 2, 3, 4. 



Zoarium constituted of narrow, ligulate, bifurcated branches, 

 slightly expanded at the ends ; zocecia ovoid or oblong, open in 

 front, except quite at the bottom, where there is a very narrow 

 calcareous expansion ; border of aperture finely serrated or 

 beaded ;" ooecia small, immersed. 



Hab. Franklin-Pierce Bay, 13 fms. (H. W. F.). 



This Flustra appears to be quite a distinct form. The growth 

 is irregularly branched, the branches or lobes varying in width 

 from one eighth to nearly one fourth of an inch, and they are usu- 

 ally forked and slightly expanded at the ends. The substance of 

 the zoarium is thick, and as it shrinks much in drying it is neces- 

 sary, in order to see the characters clearly, to expand it by boil- 

 ing in water, unless the specimen has been preserved in alcohol. 

 The peculiar finely serrulated or beaded border of the aperture 

 is a very distinctive character.

Cellepora coarctata, Sars, Reise Lof. og Finm. p. 28.
