gins, on long slender foot-stalks ringed in two places, at their 

 origins and near the cells; but the animal possesses the power 

 of corrugation the whole, and making it look annular, as in 

 the figure of Ellis and Solander tab. 4, E. F. These ringed 

 foot-stalks arise in an alternate manner from a hollow 

 creeping horny tube; variously twisting over the substance 

 on which it grows. The vesicles are ovoid, but very much 

 corrugated transversely, and arise from the creeping trunk 

 on a short foot-stalk. Polypes with twenty tentacula of a 

 light colour.

In consequence of the minute size of this and the last 

 species, it is necessary to examine them with a microscope 

 to discover their specific differences* They most commonly 

 grow together, but this is distinguished by the shortness of 

 the ringed foot-stalk to the cells; the depth, tubuliform 

 character, and stoutness of the cells. The apertures are not 

 patulous and are plain and even, while those of the las.t 

 are serrated. 



CAMPANULARIA INTERTEXTA. R. Q. C. Texture 

 spongy, composed of single tubular fibres very much inter- 

 woven with each other, not ringed; cells campanulate; 

 apertures even. PI. xi. 



This which is I believe quite new, differs so remarkably 

 from any of the kindred species, that it cannot easily be 

 mistaken. It so closely resembled a very loose textured 

 sponge, that several specimens were laid aside for a time, 

 till that class came under consideration. I have found many 

 specimens encrusting the Sertularia polyzonias, Campanularia 

 dumosa and other corallines from deep water about seven 

 leagues from the Deadman, in a line S.E. to S.S.W. It 

 encrusts or surrounds the stem and branches for about half 

 an inch in length ; it is ovoid and formed of minute brown 

 hollow tubes variously intervoven. The cells, which are
