Affinities. Amongst Jurassic Bryozoa this species most clearly 

 resembles B. portlandica, Greg. ; the differences between them are 

 noted in the description of that species (p. 84). It is still more 

 allied to B. Clementina, D'Orb., which is its Cretaceous repre- 

 sentative. The differences between them are, that the zooscia of 

 the Cretaceous species are shorter and more uniform in diameter, 

 they being regularly cylindrical. The formula for B. Clementina 

 is 1, 0", 1",/0. 



Manzoni and Neviani have both included in this species some 

 Italian Pliocene specimens, for which the formula would be 

 1, 1, 2, dQ. It seems to me that their species is quite distinct, 

 for it is not striated, but punctulate, and has a much thicker 

 zoarium.
