This Coralline varies from the figure of a flat kidney-
fhaped leaf, an inch high, with a broad ftalk, to a large
fubdivided, lobated and undulated one of five inches high
and as many broad : at the bottom of the ftalk is a tuft
of fine hair-like tubes. There are many varieties of this
curious Coralline brought to us from the Weft Indies ;

We can plainly diftinguifh all the dichotomous branches
of this Coralline on its furface, .which are each of them
feparately covered with a thin calcareous fubftance. full of
pores; thefe, by growing fo clofe to one another, become
glued or united together by their covering.
This was found on the coaft of the Bahama iflands. It
is of a fea-green color, and one inch and an half high..
