290 Dr. J. W. Gregory — A Revision 



Kadial ridges broad and compact, broken up into short groups 

 or bands. The bands have from 2 to 4 zooecia in breadth. 



Distribution. — England : Inferior Oolite. Foreign : Ba 

 jocian, Germany and France. 



Genus 3. Theonoa, Lamouroux, 1821. 



Diagnosis. — Theonoidse in which the zoarium is massive 

 and consists either of dense rounded masses of thick incrusta- 

 tions or erect thick fronds. The surface is crossed by the 

 broad well-marked ridges ; the ridges may expand in some 

 species into broad tubular elevations. 



Type species : T. clathrata, Lamouroux, 1821.

Theonoa clatkrata, Lamouroux, 1821, Expos. m6th. p. 82, pi. lxxx. 

 figs. 17, 18. 



Diagnosis. — Zoarium dense, massive, roughly spherical ; 

 the surface of the zoarium is broken into ridges, which are 

 short, broad, and blunt ; they never rise into high bilaminate 

 sheets. Four or five apertures occur together in one width 

 of a ridge. 



Distribution. — England : Great Oolite [fide Morris) . 

 Foreign : Bajocian, France and Germany ; Bathonian, 

 France. 



2. Theonoa Bowerbanki, Haime. 



Theonoa Bowerbanki, Haiuie, 1854, Bry. Jur., Mem. Soc. ge"ol. France, 

 se>. 2, t. v. p. 205, pi. x. fig. 3. 



Diagnosis. — Zoarium composed of many erect irregular 

 sheets ; the sheets are tall, irregularly sinuous, and branched, 

 leaving loose funnel-shaped cavities between them. The 

 zoarium is roughly hemispherical in form. 



The radial ridges are long and fairly continuous ; the 

 summits are flat and contain generally 3 or 4 apertures in the 

 width, but in places they expand and contain 6 or 7 in the 

 width ; the ridges occur on both sides of the sheets. 



Distribution. — Inferior Oolite, England.
