Affinities. — Our figures are close to those of Harmer, 1915. They 

 approach closely fossil specimens from the French faluns with which 

 we have been able to compare them. 



This species is very well characterized by its very salient and 

 biserial fascicles and by the large polygonal cancelli with thin walls. 

 The colonies increase in size and become superimposed rather easily. 

 The illustration of the recent specimens is still inadequate and its 

 ovicell is unknown. There is then some uncertainty of identifica- 

 tion of the recent species with the fossil, the latter being better 

 known. The specimens are free, but more often encrusting.
