TELOPORA, new genus. 



Greek : telos, end, in allusion to the position of the ovicell. 

 Ovicell at the end of the erect colony spreading over the whole width. 

 Genotype. Telopora (Supercytis) watersi Harmer, 1915. 

 Range. Miocene-Recent. 



Telopora (Supercytis) digitata Waters, 1884, belongs to this genus. 

 This genus presents the greatest zoarial analogy with Supercytis D'Orbigny, 

 1852. but the ovicell is totally different. 



TELOPORA ? PATENS, new species. 



Plate 148, figs. 24-27. 



Description. The zoarium is supported on a spreading base attached to algae: 

 it is formed of wide divergent branches, little erect, irregularly branched. The 

 anterior or cellular face is covered by the oblique orifices of the tubes. The pos- 

 terior face bears sulci with large pores at the base. 



Affinities. This species is not a Telopora, for this genus does not present 

 sulci on the dorsal. The 

 figured specimen only has 

 been discovered. We have 

 thought that it was useless 

 to form a new genus for a 

 nonovicelled specimen of 

 which we are unable to make 

 a section.

 by interzooecial striae or grooves." (After Gregory.)
