Genus DAKARIA Jullien, 1903 



DAKARIA GRANULATA, new species 



Plate 32, fig. 2 



Description. — The zoarium is unilamellar. The zooecia are dis- 

 tinct, separated by a furrow, lozenge-shaped, very broad; the frontal 

 is a granular tremocyst. The apertura is placed at the bottom of a 

 short peristomie; it is composed of a large anter separated clearly 

 from a smaller concave poster. The ovicell is very large, convex, 

 embedded in the distal zooecium, closed by the operculum and of 

 the same nature as the frontal. 



Measurements. —

Affinities. — This new species differs from DaJcaria chevreuxi Jullien, 

 1903, in its granular frontal. The apertura is formed by the sub- 

 jacent olocyst. It is not entirely covered by the tremocyst but 

 remains visible. The rimule is terminated laterally by the two 

 characteristic condyles. The apertura of the ovicelled zooecia 

 measures 0.22 by 0.24 mm. Our specimen was dead.

Structure. — At the bottom of the separating furrows there is a thin 

 salient thread. The frontal is covered with a multitude of small 

 infundibuliform tremopores. The ovicell is enormous, buried in the 

 distal zooecium, broader than the zooecium and of the same nature 

 as the frontal; it is closed by a large operculum. The oral avicu-
