Cells campanulatCj nearly sessile upon an incrassated 

 collar projecting from the stem. Margin of mouth not 

 thickened, with four shallow excavations.

Of a hght brown colour, two or three inches high. At 

 first sight it is very like Laomedea antipathes, Lamouroux, 

 which occurs in New Zealand, but differs materially in 

 its smaller size and in the four shallow emarginations of 

 the mouth, which part in L. antipathes is entire and with 

 the margin a little thickened.

 Zoophytes of the " Voyage of the Rattlesnake" — examined by Mr. Busk 

 subsequently to the preceding paper having been pkced in the printer's hands 

 — I may mention that the descriptions in question will shortly be published 

 elsewhere. — J. M'G.
