The Podded Coralline. | : 
The little radical Tubes of this Coralline creep on, and ad- 
here to Mufcles, and other Shells: From thefe arife little 
Branches like Feathers; each fmaller Divifion of a Branch is 
curved, when dried, like a Sickle; and the Denticles, which 
are fixed ina Row on the Infide, are fhaped, when magni- 
fied, like the Flowers of the Lily of the Valley. | 
This Coralline is alfo found farrounding the Srailts of the 
podded Fucus, with its tubulous Roots not adhering to, but 
inclofing it; as it is reprefented in its natural Size, at N°. 12.

From the Branches arife little Pods encompafled by feveral 
ftudded Ribs: On examining thefe Pods in the Microfcope, 
I have obferved fome loofe Particles, in fome of them, like. 
Seeds ; but, upon difleG@ting the thin membranaceous Coat 
of thefe tranfparent Pods, and more minutely examining the 
inclofed Subftance with higher Magnifiers, it appeared of the. 
fame Kind and Confiftence with the Subftance found in the 
Veficles of other Corallines. sh tsits :
