Affinities. This species is characterized by its denticulate peri- 

 stome. Its two closest allies are B. tennis, D'Orb., and B. spatiosa 

 (Waif.). From the former it is distinguished by the walls being 

 plain, instead of striated; from the latter by the irregularity 

 and thinness of the zoarium in that species. In later periods 

 the species which most reminds me of this one is that which was 

 described by Reuss * as Diastopora sparsa. Prom this it differs in 

 having the zocecia more crowded, and the peristomes less raised, 

 and the peristomes denticulate. The distal ends of the zocecia in 

 Reuss' species are, however, so much raised, that the species must 

 be included in Tuoulipora. "Waters and Neviaoi both place it as 

 a synonym of Diastopora laiomarginata, D'Orb., a conclusion with 

 which I am disposed to agree, removing this species to Tululipora.
