Habitat. — Among- sponges and on rocks, between 

 tidemarks, Budleigli-Salterton, Devon,. Mr. Carter. Off 

 coast of Florida, U.S., dredged by Pourtales (Jide 

 Scbmidt). Roundstone Bay, Ireland (Norman). 



The finest specimen I have seen of H. ramulosa 

 is one for which I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. 

 Carter, and which, from a pedicel of almost a quarter 

 of an inch high, becomes suddenly multiramose, and 

 terminates in seventeen heads,*
