184 Laura R. Thornely : Report on Marine Polyzoa. [VOL. I, 



16. Flustra rhizophora, Ortman 



Die Japanische Bryozoen Fauna. 



As in Ortman's description, there are no internal or lateral 

 denticles. There are two, rarely four, spines above. Avicularia 

 have the long, pointed mandibles which lie along one side of the 

 zooecia, beneath which is the area they originate from. Ooecia with 

 the usual calcareous bar across the front are present. There are 

 only a few fragmentary tips of branches of this species ; they re- 

 semble the palmate form of F. foliacea, measuring three-fourths of 

 an inch across. 

 Locality. — Off Mangalore. 26-31 fathoms (Indian Marine Survey). 



17. Flustra pisciformis , Busk. 



(Carbasea pisciformis) Brit. Mus. Cat. Mar. Pol., pt. i, p. 50. 



This small colony agrees with Busk's description of the zooecia 

 and ooecia but has an occasional avicularium which has the same 

 form as that of F. securifrons ; the zooecia are larger, however, than 

 those of the British F. securifrons , and the species is altogether more 

 like the description of F. pisciformis. 



18. Diachoris intermedia, Hincks. 



Amt. Mag. Nat. Hist., series 5, vol. viii, p. 133, 1881. 

 Localities. — vStations 59, yy, Indian Marine Survey. 



19. Carbasea cribriformis, Busk. 



Voy. H.M.S. " Challenger," pt. xxx (vol. x), p. 58. 



There are only a few fragments of this species in the collection, 

 so that the spiral growth at the bases of fenestra cannot be seen ; 

 otherwise the characters agree with Busk's description. 

 Localities. — Stations 59, 61, 77, (72, 15, 34 fathoms,) Indian Marine 



Survey. 



Family Cei^lariid^. 



20. Cellaria tenuirostris , Busk. 



(Salicornaria tenuirostris) Brit. Mus. Cat. Mar. Pol, pt. i, p. 17. 



There is only one specimen of this form, measuring about one 

 inch in height and being well branched. Avicularia have shorter 

 mandibles mentioned by Busk [Voy. H.M.S. " Challenger," 

 pt. xxx (vol. x), p. 92). The internodes are swollen with the 

 number of ooecia present, and the opening to these, above the ori- 

 fice is oval with a spade-shaped operculum. The knots of radical 

 tubes, alluded to by Smitt (" Floridan Bryozoa," pt. ii, p. 4, in 

 Vetensk. Akad. HandL, vol. xi, 1872), are to be seen where each 

 branch is given ofT.
