70 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 14 



Hancock Stations: 147-34, Tagus Cove, Albemarle Island, Galapa- 

 gos, 30 fms; 788-38, Daphne Major Island, Galapagos, 70 to 80 fms; 

 1232-41, off San Pedro breakwater, California, 19 fms; 1410-41, Santa 

 Rosa Island, California, 17 fms; and 275, Raza Isla, Gulf of California, 

 40 fms. Apparently it is much more abundant in its northern range.

Zoarium encrusting. Zooecia of moderate size, 0.50 to 0.60 mm long 

 by 0.35 to 0.40 mm wide, the oval to elliptical opesia occupying about 

 three-fourths of the length. The zooecia are well separated by rather 

 broad grooves ; the cryptocyst granulated and without horizontal lamina, 

 the gymnocyst smooth. The spines, 8 to 11 on each side, are long and 

 more or less erect, the distal ones directed forward ; a few smaller termi- 

 nal spines are sometimes present beyond the distal rim. Avicularia ap- 

 parently are entirely wanting. 



The ovicells are globose, prominent, smooth or delicately frosted with 

 minute tubercles ; in complete calcification there may be a slightly raised 

 rib enclosing a triangular area on the front. 



Described by Norman from East Finmark, Norway; since recorded 

 by Levinsen from Greenland, and by Osburn from Ungava, Hudson 

 Strait, and Port Churchill, Manitoba. The present records indicate that 

 it probably has a circumpolar distribution.

Membranipora inconspicua O'Donoghue, 1923:29. 



The small zooecia are oval, tending toward polygonal. The edges are 

 covered by a thin, almost transparent, white lamella, which passes up- 

 ward to a fairly regular oval aperture. The opesia has a sort of curved 

 border around it, wider at the posterior end. Commonly two small avicu- 

 laria are borne on this border, one on each side about one-third of the 

 way from the distal end; their rounded mandibles face upward and
