CALLOPORA (?) SPECIOSA Gabb and Horn, 18G2.

 tions of North America, Journal Academy Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, ser. 2, vol. 5, 

 p. 159, pi. 20, fig. 45. 



The original description is as follows: 



Colony encrusting in irregular patches, composed of elongated, oval cells, often crowded out of 

 their normal shape. Cells arranged in longitudinal lines and in somewhat irregular quincunx, often 

 assuming a transverse arrangement; aperture occup\-ing the whole of the surface, cell walls plain, 

 angular, at their edge or slightly rounded. Interior of the cell, regularly concave, with the sides of the 

 conca\'ity reaching almost to the top of the walls; in new cellules the germinal plate only is seen. This 

 germinal plate often extends for a considerable distance beyond the colony (half an inch) and is marked 

 by irregular longitudinal lines, frequently bent suddenly in an oblique direction and then continued 

 longitudinally as before. Between the cellules are frequently open angular spaces, caused by the 

 inaccurate apposition to the cellules. 



Occurrence. — Miocene: Chiriqui, Central America.

 Tertiary formations of North America, Journal Academy Natural Sciences, Piiiladelphia, 

 ser 2, vol. 5, p. 154, pi. 21, fig. 38. 



The original description follows: 



Colony free (arranged in a tube in the only specimen we have seen), cellules outside, back, or 

 inside of the tube showing the outline of the cellules. Cellules oval, juxtaposed, placed in irregular 

 quincunx. Opening lai^er, occupying nearly the whole surface of the cellule; usually of the same 

 shape as the cellule, sometimes having the proximal end wider than the distal end. Cell walls convex 

 or flattened; marked by a variable number of pits often surrounded each by a distinct elevation or wall. 

 The mouth is sometimes constricted by a small rim, parallel with the ordinary wall, placed inside of. 

 and below it. This rim is ornamented in the same manner as the larger one. 



Occurrence. — Pleistocene: Santa Barbara, California.

 Miocene, p. 413, pi. 115, figs. 6, 7; pi. 118, fig. 15. 



The original description is as follows: 



Zoarium forming crusts of small extent upon shells, the types growing on a Peclen. Zooecia 

 arranged in rather irregular rows, 6 to 8 in 3 mm. Aperture subo\-ate, more or less constricted in front 

 of the midlength, enclosed a sloping and finely striated border, widest posteriorly. Frontal lamina 

 very little developed forming the sloping and transversely striated border just mentioned. Ovicells 

 abundant, large, moderately convex, the middle portion distinguished by being minutely pitted or 

 porous. Avicularia of moderate size, usually one, rarely two to each zooecium. of the same t}-pe as in 

 A. flemingi but with the apex more prominent.
