Text Appearing Before Image:
ALGTONOID POLYPS. 85 phyte, with its lilac or purple polyps fully expanded, looks much like a large cluster of flowers from a lilac bush. The tubes are united by cross plates at intervals. 2. Gorgonia trihe^ or Gokgonacea.—The following figure represents a species of this tribe from the Kingsmill or Gilbert
Text Appearing After Image:
GOKGONIA? FLEXUOSA, D. Islands. It is one of the net-like or reticulated species, the reticulation being a result of the coalescence of the branchlets. The general color of the species was crimson; but when alive and expanded it was covered throughout with yellowish polyps of the form in figure a, though much smaller, the natural size not exceeding a twelfth of an inch. The common sea-fan of the West Indies, Gorgonia fiahellum^ is much more finely reticulated, the meshes of the net-work being ordinarily not over a fourth of an inch in breadth; while the fan often grows to a height and breadth of a yard. Other species of the Gorgonia family are like clusters
