You will be pleased to know that here, as well as at the North, tiaropsis is the medusa of a campanularia.

The number of species of _Cothurnia_ has become so great that the difficulty in placing forms is almost sufficient to discourage the systematist; as Bütschli well remarks, the variations in the theca have been made the basis of new species so many times that the genus is almost as confused as _Difflugia_ among the rhizopods or _Campanularia_ among the hydroids.

Equally beautiful is the dense growth of Campanularia, covering (as I have seen it in Plymouth Sound) large tracts of the rock, its delicate shoots swaying to and fro with each movement of the water, like trees in a storm, or the colony of Obelia on the waving frond of the tangle looking almost ethereal in its grace, transparency, and delicacy, as seen against the coarse dark surface that supports it." Few things are more beautiful than to look down from a boat into transparent water.

There is a pretty group of the large white Thrift, and near it a spreading carpet of blue Veronica and some of the splendid gentian-blue _Phacelia campanularia_, a valuable annual for filling any bare patches of rockery where its brilliant colouring will suit the neighbouring plants, or, best of all, in patches among dwarf ferns, where its vivid blue would be seen to great advantage.

Loeb has found that if pieces of the hydroid _Campanularia_ are cut off and placed in a dish filled with sea water, all the hydranths that touch the bottom of the dish are absorbed and transformed into the substance of the stem.
