Abstract
While engaged last autumn in examining with a hand-lens the contents of a phial into which I had transferred some of the refuse of the dredging-boats employed in the oyster fishery on the coast of South Devon, my attention was attracted by a minute organism which adhered to a fragment of one of the larger Sertularidans. Under this low power it resembled somewhat a Campanularia, with the polype expanded; but, on being removed with a portion of the substance to which it was attached, and placed in a glass trough under the compound microscope, I found that it had closed up, and now resembled in form a cup surmounted by a pyramidal lid, and supported on the summit of a long jointed stem (Plate XIII., fig. 3).
