186 MULTICLAUSA. 



ities. This species was founded by D'Orbigny for a 

 dendroid Bryozoan, which Milne Edwards had regarded as only 

 an arborescent Berenicea. D'Orbigny named it M. luceana, and 

 made it the type of the genus Multisparsa. There is a specimen 

 in the Tesson Collection (No. D. 2114) which agrees exactly with 

 D'Orbigny's figure; and this shows that his type is a Tubulate 

 form, and is, in fact, a specimen of Diastopora lamellosa, Mich. 

 Haime redescribed the form originally figured by Milne Edwards, 

 which is here taken as altogether distinct from that of D'Orbigny, 

 and is named after the palaeontologist whose careful figures enable 

 its affinities to be determined.
