Creeping; cells arising from a creeping fibrile, erect, free, 
? n d calcareous; they resemble spoons which have the bowl 
en t with the concave portion towards the handle. That 
P ar f of the creeping fibre from which the cells arise, is 
j-blarged and bulbous; under the microscope the cells appear 
] Q circularly striated, as it is figured by Ellis. The en- 
dued and bent heads of the cells are doited, and frequently 
Rested with minute Conferva. The apertures are sub. 
^•"minal, iuferior, and ovoid. When dead it is of a pure 
bite colour, when living of a delicate pink. This minute 
j Pecies, though not abundant is common, especially in the 
a ber part of Summer and Autumn. 
TUBULIPORIDA2. 
j ^°lypidoms calcareous, or mcmbrano-calcareous, variable 
*hape but never confervoid; cells tubular, rising from a base 
b projecting; the apertures terminal and non-operculate. 
Q TUBULIPORA' Lamarck.

Motive adhesion of the base, sometimes crustaceous ; cells 
P^ced on a calcareous basis, arranged in rows, long and 
c >lin drical, separate with an erect aperture. Polype*
