 zoarium, X 15; the zocecia are indistinct and not oriented. Lower Miocene (Bowden 

 horizon), Cercado de Mao, Santo Domingo. 



FIGS. 3-12. Metrarabdotos colligatum, n. sp. (3-5) Different aspects of the base of the zoarium, 

 X 4.5; (6) three fragments, natural size, preserving base; (7) portion of zoarial sur- 

 face, X 15, with two ovicells preserved; (8) broad zocecia, X 15, characteristic of the 

 aged condition; (9) base of a zoarium, X 15, showing calcification and disappearance 

 of the apertures; (10) narrow zooecia, X 15, of youthful condition; (11) normal 

 zooecia, X 15; (12) longitudinal section, X 15, showing the interior of the zooecia. 

 Lower Miocene (Bowden horizon), Cercado de Mao, Santo Domingo.
