 Pacific: Gambier Isles (Jullien). 

 Plesiotype.—CMt. No. 8022, U.S.N.M. 



GALEOPSIS BREVICAPITATA, new species 



Plate 28, fig. 3 



Description. — The zoarium encrusts nullipores. The zooecia are 

 distinct, separated by a deep furrow, very large, elongated, elliptical; 

 the surface is convex, granulated, perforated by very small tremo- 

 pores. The aperture is suborbicular and hidden at the bottom of 

 the peristomie. The salient spiramen is placed on the frontal on 

 the median axis almost at the middle of the length. The ovicell is 

 short, of the same nature as the frontal. On each side of the peristo- 

 mice there are two triangular transverse avicularia. 



Measurements. — 



n \hp = 0.17 mm. n . \Lz= 1.00- 1.25 mm. 



Penstomice , or Zooecia, nn 



l(p = 0.25 mm. [tz = 0.90 mm. 



Affinities. — Some zooecia are deprived of spiramen; their aperture 

 is deep and furnished with two large lateral tuberosities. The 

 species differs from Galeopsis pupa Jullien, 1903, in its very short 

 ovicell and in its spiramen placed lower and more salient. Our 

 specimen was dead. 



Occurrence. — D. 5325. Hermanos Island, off northern Luzon; 

 18° 34' 15" N.; 121° 51' 15" E. ; 224 fathoms; gn. M. 



Holotype.—C&t. No. 8023, U.S.N.M. 



GALEOPSIS MUTABILIS, new species 



Plate 28, figs. 4-6 



Description. — The zoarium is encrusting nullipores or shells. 

 The zooecia are distinct, separated by a deep furrow, elongated, 

 elliptical, very irregular; the frontal is convex, punctured with 

 funnel shaped tremopores and sometimes ornamented with a large 

 transverse spiramen which is little salient. The aperture is large, 

 elongated, elliptical, arranged at the bottom of a short peristomie. 

 The penstomice is transverse. The ovicell is globular, small, of the 

 same nature as the frontal. In the vicinity of the aperture there are 

 1 or 2 small avicularia. 



Affinities. — The micrometric variations are very large and the 

 general character very inconstant; the zooecia with spiramen are rare.
