NO. 5 OSBURN: BRYOZOA 19 



Three branches were obtained, showing all of the characters. The 

 very large avicularia, with the semicircular brown mandible and the 

 thick-edged, slightly elevated rostrum, agree exactly with specimens 

 from the coast of California. 



Distribution. — Station A18-39, 8 miles SW of San Nicolaas Bay, 

 Aruba Island at 23 to 24 fms. 



Gellaria irregularis^ new name 

 Smitt 1873:4 Smitt 1873:4 (Cellaria tenuirostris, non Busk). 

 Canu and Bassler 1928: 72 (Cellaria nodosa, new name). 



Canu and Bassler overlooked Norman's description of Cellularta 

 nodosa, 1909: 72, from Madeira, and another new name must therefore 

 be substituted. 



Smitt's figures of this species are perfectly correct, but he misidentified 

 it with Busk's species. He recorded it from Caryfort Reef, Gulf of 

 Mexico, west of the Tortugas Islands. Canu and Bassler list it from 

 the Gulf of Mexico, Albatross station D. 2388. Two fragments appear 

 in our material in perfect condition except for the chitinous parts. 



Distribution. — Stations At504, and At528, Gulf of Venezuela at 

 12 to 71 fms.

Scrupocellaria regularis Osburn, 1940 



Smitt 1872:14 (Cellularia cervicornis, non Busky). Osburn 1914:192 



(S. cervicornis Smitt non Busk) ; 1940: 384. 



Smitt misinterpreted Busk's cervicornis. Harmer (1926:377) has 

 reexamined Busk's type material and places cervicornis Busk under the 

 synonymy of diadema Busk. The present species is quite different and 

 Osburn redescribed and renamed it (loc. cit.J. Smitt's material came from 

 the Pourtales collections off the Florida coast; Osburn lists it from the 

 Tortugas Islands, Florida, and from several stations off the southern 

 Porto Rican coast down to 30 fms. 



Distribution.— Stations A13-39, A14-39, A18-39, and At505. These 

 stations place the locations at Cape la Vela, Colombia, and San Nicolaas 

 Bay, Aruba Island at 13 to 24 fms.
