Celliferous CoRALLINES. © 
placed alternately, ‘and clofely united at. the lower Part of 
the Sides: Their Entrances are very wide; and the upper 
39, 
Part of them, which projets, is full of {mall Hairs like Eye- _ 
Jafhes. Their Bafes are narrow, and fcem to be jointed ; 
and if we look attentively in the Microfcope, we may difco- 
vera {mall white Hair, which feems to pafs through the 
Middle of each Branch at the joining of the Cells. This Co- 
ralline bears teftaceous Bodies on the Front of the Cells, 
fomewhat refembling the upper Part of an Helmet; and at 
the Sides of fome of the Cells, little Figures like Birds Heads, 
not unlike thofe of the fecond celliferous Coralline. : 
At Fig. D, we have the magnified Figure of this Coral- 
of Corallines, this is one of the moft delicate and tender. ~ 
N°. 6. Corallina cellifera minima, fragilis, ramofa, & ve- 
ficulifera, colore eburneo, cellulis tubiformibus conjunétis, pau- 
lum arcuatis, & fere oppofitis. 
Tufted Ivory Coralline. 
This Coralline, carefully examined in the Microfcope, ap- 
pears to arife from minute comprefled Globules, which have 
“been depofited on a Fucus: In the Centre of each of thefe, 
we may obferve a {mall Hole, from whence proceed very 
flender jointed Tubes, which pafs into Branches confifting, of 
double Rows of tubular Cells placed almoft oppofite, and 
united at the Sides ; but the ‘Tops ftanding out a little: From 
the Side of thefe Branches proceed here and there {mall hol- 
low Veficles, which are very brittle, and full of fmall Specks. 
~ Glofe to one Side of the Veficles, we have obferved a {mall 
Tube, which, no doubt, is the Entrance into them. This 
Species comes very near to the Clafs of veficular Corallines; 
for in fome Specimens of this Species at the Sea-fide, we have 
25 a 
-jine: And at d, N°. 5. the natural Size of it. Of all this Clafs
