34 THE CRAG POLYZOA. 



Polyzoarium spreading, reticular ; aperture occupying the whole front of the cell ; 

 margin projecting above, smooth ; large, elongated, lanceolate avicularia interspersed among 

 the cells. 



Habitat. C. Crag, S. W., on Tereb. grandis, spreading over Lepralia punctata. 



9. M. OBLONGA (n. sp.) PL II, fig. 3. 



Polyzoario effuso, irregulari ; areis oblongis, rectangularibus ; lamina utrinque punctata ; 

 septis glabris, longitudinaliter sulcatis ; orificio semiobiculari, labro inferior! recto ; 

 tuberculo rotundato utrinque supra aperturam. Ovicellulis immersis, inconspicuis. 



Polyzoarium spreading irregularly ; area of cell oblong, rectangular ; lamina punctured 

 at the sides ; septa smooth, sulcate ; orifice semicircular above, with a straight lower lip ; 

 slightly raised ; a rounded tubercle on each upper angle ; ovicells deeply immersed : 

 inconspicuous. 



Habitat. C. Crag, on Pecten, and pebble, S. Wood. 



10. M. BTDENS, Hagpnoiv. PI. II, fig. 4.

Hagenow's figure of M. bidens appears to correspond in every respect with that of the 

 Crag fossil, which is, therefore, referred to his species. The form of the cell and of the 

 orifice in M. (C.) hippocrepis, Golclf., and of which a figure is also given by Hagenow 

 (ib., fig. 17), appears to approach very nearly to that of M. bidens, so nearly, in fact, as 

 almost to lead to the suspicion that the two forms are very intimately related, especially 

 when it is remembered that they both occur in the same locality. A very considerable 

 difference, however, in size, is apparent between the two ; and although this may not
