SPH^RIA TENTACULATA. Batfch. fig. 183.
I FIND this moit common in Kenfington Gardens
in damp places on rotten pieces of timber, the lower
part immerfed in the remains of the bark or in the
wood. The cylindrical mouths are vifible to the
naked eye like little bundles of hair. The adjacent
wood is fometimes ftained with black.
