BRYOZOA OF THE PHILIPPINE REGION 213 



CANDA PHILIPPINENSIS, new speciea 



Plate 9, figs. 8-10 



Description. — The zoarium is formed of rectilinear or slightly 

 curved segments, dichotomous, without apparent articulation (but 

 hidden by the calcification), triangular in section. The zooecia 

 are distinct, rectangular; the exterior opesium is small, somewhat 

 oblique, pyriform, the point below. The mural rim is somewhat 

 salient, rounded, thin; the cryptocyst is concave, smooth, as long as 

 the opesium. The attachment of the scutum is on the proximal 

 portion of the mural rim. The ovicell is small, little salient, convex. 

 There are neither lateral nor axial avicularia. On the dorsal face 

 the zooecia are little distinct, convex; the vibracular chamber is 

 large, very little salient outside of the segment; the groove is long, 

 located almost on the median axis, a little curved, enlarged at its 

 extremity; the radicular pore is large.

 Affinities. — In general appearance this species recalls Cauda fossilis 

 Waters, 1881, of the Australian Miocene. It differs in the attachment 

 of the scutum placed higher, in the large groove of the vibracular 

 chamber, in its shorter opesium and in its smaller micrometric 

 dimensions. Our specimens bore ovicells in June 1905. No com- 

 plete zoarium has been found.

The zoaria appear nomirticulated, the articulation being formed 

 of internal tubes. The radicells of the radicular dietellae of the 



dorsal vibracula form longitudinal bundles arranged on the median 

 axis of the dorsal. The cilium of the dorsal vibraculum is very long
