Descriptions of New or Little-hiowR Polyzoa. 83 



Of this, I have only seen a single specimen. It consists of 

 a number of fasciculi springing from a connnon base. These 

 fasciculi vary a good deal ; some form closely packed bundles 

 united up to their summits ; others are arranged in double 

 rows. A few zooecia are distinct almost from the base, and 

 in these the orifice is mostly bilabiate.
