The tubes are from 4 to 7 cm long and from 7 to 17 mm in diameter; the wall is about mm thick. The total height of the sponge is 14 cm. Preserved in spirit, the sponge is extremely soft and weak, not supporting its own weight, the tubes flattened. In the same time, it has sufficient elasticity not to break up if handled with care. The colour is buff; the surface is smooth to the touch but microscopically hispid. The outer surface of the tubes is perforated by closely-set pores 150- 300 [xm Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Museo civico di storia naturale Giacomo Doria (Genoa, Italy).
