This erect cellular Coralline is about three inches high ; 

 the larger joints are about three quarters of an inch long, 

 of a dirty white color, and of a ftony coral-like fubftance. 

 It grows in ere£t tufts, irregularly joined together : the 

 joints are united by little wrinkled tubes: thefe tubes 

 frequently grow out of one of the cells on the fide of the 

 joints; and it is particularly remarkable, that from the 

 end of fome of the tubes fo fituated, a joint grows full of 

 cells, which are placed both above and below the tube, 

 fo that the joint, with its cells, is fupported intirely by 

 the little tube in the middle. This joint, thus fufpended 

 by the tube, is reprefented at fig. C. tab. 5. where it is 

 magnified, with the upright and crofs feclion E. and D.D.
