Incerki', sedis:—Stwderiotes mirabilis, GENUS ALCYONIUM, Linn^us. Alcyonium klunzingeri, n. sp. Two and distinctive colonies, one of a cream colour, the other pink with just a hint of purple. Both are of an encrusting nature and have been attached to rocks, so that the general basal contour is irregular. The basal portion of the larger is 65 mm. long and 60 mm. in breadth ; similar measurements in the other are 65 mm. and 50 nun. In neither does the height exceed 25 mm. From the flat expanded base numerous small mamilliform lobes arise. The largest of these are about 12 mm. in height and 8 mm. in diameter. They terminate in blunt cones or domes, Init otherwise are cylindrical. Some of the lobes are slightly flattened, and several bifur- cate or even give rise to three smaller lobes. The whole colony may be said to be more hard than fleshy ; the canal walls are densely packed with small spicules. The coenenchymal canals are cylindrical and very distinct; 2. Fig. 1.
