Hah. Lizard point, Polperro, Goran, Deadman point; 
common on corallines and stones, from deep water. 
This, though a common, is not an abundant species. It is 
calcareous, and while living, of a delicate flesh colour, which 
jffterward changes to a dull white. It arises from a spread- 
ing base by a stout rough cylindrical trunk, and is di- 
cbotomously branched. The branches are short, stout, 
cylindrical, very rough, and the terminal ones end in obtuse 
Points. The cells are numerous, urceolate, and in the young 
state, appear to be quincuncially arranged, but afterwards to 
be without regular order. The apertures are contracted, 
a nd armed with a long stout spine on the outer margin. It 
v aries in height from one to three inches. 
C. SKENEI. “ Much compressed, divided in a bifid man- 
ner, rough; cells rowed, with a stroug mucro on the outer 
edge of the aperture.” Skene.

This is a smaller and more compressed species than the 
* as t and rarely exceeds half an inch in height. It is spa- 
ngly and dichotomously branched ; the branches are short, 
P a ltnate, and truncated. The cells are urceolate, rather 
‘mniersed, except in the newest parts, and somewhat 
?P>rally arranged ; the apertures are slightly oval, but are 
!? a great measure hid by a strong stout spine on the outer 
'P* This shape and arrangement of the cells give them a 
^semblance to a fir cone, in which the scales are loosely 
arr anged.
