This elegant little Coralline is about one inch to an inch 

 and a half long, and is moil commonly of a red color, 

 fometimes green, and often white. It is eafily known by 

 being difpofed into creft-like tufts ; it differs from the 

 following, by having fhorter points at the ends of the 

 branches, and growing much thicker together. It is 

 found in great quantities about Weymouth and Penzance 

 in the weft of England, and generally adheres to fucus's, 

 I am inclined to think, notwithftanding this difference, 

 there is a great affinity between this, the corniculata, and 

 the fpermophoros,

This Coralline is very flender, and feldom above one 

 inch long ; it is generally found of a milk-white color, 

 and never in the crefted form with the foregoing, but 

 more loofe and fpread. It adheres to fucus's, and grows 

 in plenty near Penzance, in Cornwall.
