BRYOZOA OF THE PHILIPPINE REGION 



183 



Division 5. CELLULARINA Smitt, 1867 



Family FARCIMINARIIDAE Busk, 1852 



The zooecia are furnished with an obliquely ascending distal wall 

 and separated by common lateral walls, which are furnished with a 

 small number (2-4) of uniporous septulae; no true spines. The 

 avicularia dependent, sometimes depressed, sometimes strongly 

 projecting. The ovicells arc endozooecial. The zoaiia are dicho-

A, B. Farciminaria aculeala Busk, 1852. Ordinary and ovicelled zooecia. 

 (After Busk, 1852.) 



C-G. Farciminaria uncinala Hineks, 1884. C. Ovicelled zooeciurn, X20. 

 D. The ovicel] and the surrounding kenozooecium, lateral view, X23. E. The 

 ovicell partly from the basal surface, X23. F. A longitudinal section through 

 the gonozooecium, the ovicell, and the surrounding kenozooecium. The distal 

 wall t'ltr) between the gonozooecium and the kenozooecium is seen; m. ov., the 

 membranous wall separating the zooeciurn from the ovicell, X23. G. A longi- 

 tudinal section through the gonozooecium but parallel to the frontal wall. The 

 angular distal wall between the gonozooecium and the kenozooecium is seen, 

 X40. (D-G. After Levinsen, 1909.) 



tomously branched tufts, with slender, prismatic, sometimes jointed 

 segments, on which the zooecia arc arranged in longitudinal rows 

 (generally 4-6) around an axis formed by the adjoining separating 

 walls. (After Levinsen, 1909.) 



There have as yet been no anatomical researches on the representa- 

 tives of this family.
