laxly set in pellucid jelly. It does not adhere well to 

 paper, or particularly please us in the album. Colour 

 varies from purplish-red to olive green or yellow. 

 Common on all rocky shores. 



Gigabtina Pistillata. — A remarkable and rare 

 plant, found by Dr. John Macculloch, Dr. Jacob, and 

 Miss Turner, in the Channel Islands. Also on the 

 coast of Devonshire. 



Now this is really a prize for those who are making 

 anything like a scientific collection. It is generally 

 so laden with fruit as to arrest attention at once. 

 Tubercles seated on a small branch or ramuli, which 

 projects like a horn from beneath the berry. The 

 fronds are densely tufted, two to six inches high, rising 

 with undivided stem about three inches, then spread- 

 ing out fan-shaped, and forked repeatedly. Colour is 

 dull purplish or brownish red. Look for it in winter 

 on rocks at lowest-tide mark. 



GriGABTUTA Actculaeis. — This also, is rare, of a 

 smaller size and more delicate structure, with fewer 

 tubercles, and the colour becomes pink in fresh water. 



Gtigaetika Teedii. — Very rare, perennial, and 

 only found in deep water.
