The book has the following to say about Corraline and Dulse
"For a great many years naturalists could not make up their minds whether this very pretty sea-weed was really a sea-weed or not. For it possesses the curious power of sucking out lime from the sea-water and building it up round itself, just as the polyps of the madrepores and the corals do: so that when it dies and decays it leaves a kind of chalky skeleton behind it. For this reason it was often supposed to be really a kind of coral. We know now, however, that it is a plant. For if it is placed in acid, which dissolves away this “skeleton,” we find that a true vegetable framework is left behind it.
While it is alive the coralline is of a deep purple colour. It is quite a small plant, growing only to a height of four or five inches, and you may find it in quantities on the rocks near low-water mark.
This weed [dulse] is also known as the Dillisk, or Dillosk. I dare say that you have often seen it, for it is quite common on nearly all the rocky parts of our coasts, sometimes growing on the rocks themselves, and sometimes on the larger sea-weeds. In colour, it is a deep, dark red, and if you look down upon it on a bright sunny day, as it grows in a pool of clear sea-water, you may see all kinds of lovely rainbow tints playing over its leaves. The leaves or “fronds” as they are more properly called, are about two inches long and a quarter of an inch wide."
