. Fig. 26. A. Farciminaria simplex MacGillivray. 467. Port Phillip Heads. B. Farciminellum antarcticum Australian Antarctic Expedition, St. 4, off Adelie Land. Both drawn from dry specimens seen by reflected light. X. slightly crushed ovicell showing splitting along median line. This species has hitherto been known from more or less fragmentary material. The present specimens show that the colonies attain a considerable size. The material from St. TN 338 comprises six clumps. Plate VIII shows one of the smallest, the largest being 22 cm. long and profusely branched. Th

The proximal branches are enveloped in a thick mass of rootlets so that the colonies appear to originate in a branching stalk.
