which, Dr. Pallas, in his Elench. p. 265. has con- 
founded together under the name of Millepora 
Calcarea (but which he confefles to be animal) j and 
when you examine them in the microfcope, you will 
find in them both regular feries of cells, 3s figured 
in Eifay on Cor. Tab. 27. Fig. D. Split at the 
lame time one of the joints of the Coraliina Offici- 
nalis of Linnaeus lengthways, and you will find the 
leries of cells * correfpond in ffiape exadtly with both 
the former ; which I think proves the organization 
of thefe bodies to be the fame, and confequently 
animal. 
Befides thefe, compare the ftru< 5 ture of the Mi- 
riozoon of Donati, Phil. Tranf. Vol. XLVII. p. 107. 
Tab. 5. (Millepora truncata, Pallas Elench. p. 249.) 
with thole of the Coraliina Rofarium, and Coraliina 
incralfata, both which I have carefully dilfedled and 
figured in Tab. XVII. Fig. 15, 20, &c. and there 
appears fo great an affinity between their cells (and 
even in the opercula of the Coraliina incraffata), that it 
affords us.reafon to conclude with great probability, 
that their mouths, or fuckers, are the fame. It can- 
not be amils to mention the fimilitude there is be- 
tween the ftony-jointed Corallines, and the Ifis 
Hippuris, or jointed black and white Eaft Indian 
Coral, and the Cellularia balicornia, Pallas Zooph.

which two laft are univerfally allowed to be animals: 
in all thefe are found the fame kind of fibres that 
connect their joints, and exactly in the fame man- 
ner. 
In order to prove that thefe Corallines have a 
fmell very different from vegetables, I mu ft appeal to
