ing a large quantity of calcareous matter in their com¬ 
position. Most of them are furnished with small tuber¬ 
cles similar to the fructification of Marine Confervas, 
and are destitute of any of those cells on their surface, 
which are always found in the corals. These substances 
constitute the Pseudozca of de Blainville, and are con¬ 
tained in the Table Case, No. 22 .—namely : 
Cymopolia—Corallina—Jania—Fiabellaria—Amphi- 
roa—Penicillus—Galaxaura—Acetabulum—Polyphysa 
— Udotea —Dichotomaria—Liagopora—and Nulii- 
pora, Lamck.

rieties of Sheep, especially the Four Horned Sheep;
