The species grows in bunches on shortstems in the fissures of tidal rocks, and at first view resembles youngIIra. It is a very curious and beautiful alga, and should be examinedwith a glass. It is one inch to four inches in diameter when full-grown. (Plate V.) ORDER DASYCLADACE^: This order also inhabits only tropical or subtropical seas. Itis placed in this group, although only the main axis is unicellu-lar. The one-celled axis is surmounted or encircled by whorls ofminute filaments or branchlets (raimtli), which protrude throughsmall holes and are either persistent or deciduous. In the lattercase the fallen filaments leave disk-like scars on the stem. GENUS Acetabulatia A. cre
