 Locality. — Pedro Shoal, 25 fathoms (Wood-Mason). 



There is very Uttle of this lovely species, but the glassy texture, 

 the antler-like spines and the tracery on the fornix, also the per- 

 forated ooecia, are all beautifully represented.

6. Scrupocellaria gaspari, sp, nov. 



Fig. \ .— Scrupocellaria gaspaii, sp. nov. 



Zooecium with oral aperture occup^'ing two-thirds of its front 

 wall, having a thick, smooth margin and four spines above. The 

 open space below the aperture is narrowed downwards, supporting 

 on one side a small, raised avicularium pointing outwards. This 

 avicularium is replaced by a ver}^ large one on each of those zooecia 

 situated next below the fork of a branch. Lateral avicularia, small 

 vibraculse, no fornix. Ocecia perforated. Radical tubes serrated. 



The present species resembles 5. ferox, Busk {Brit. Mus. Cat. 

 Mar. Pol., pt. i) in the small lateral avicularia and the serrated 

 radical tubes, but in 5. ferox each zooecium has a large avicularium 

 below the aperture, while here they are small except on the zooecia 

 situated below the fork of a branch. Also, the zooecia are armed, 

 while those of 5. ferox are unarmed.
