580 Canon A. M. Norman — Notes on the 



rejectamenta of the fisliing-boats at Vardo and by dredging 

 in Bog Fiord in 120 fathoms. The great development of 

 the fornix is exactly as represented by Hincks. It not only 

 covers the entire oral opening but extends forwards to about 

 half the length of the ocEcium. The frontal avicularia are 

 apparently entirely absent; but a vibracular cell of the 

 unusual character pecuUar to S. scabra is occasionally, 

 though very rarely, developed. These, however, Hincks 

 failed to find, and upon this ground pointed out that one 

 of the characters which distinguishes Scrupocellaria from 

 3Ieni])ea broke down. These vibracular appendages are 

 usually pretty freely developed on British examples of the 

 typical form, but are rarely present in all the Finmarkian 

 varieties of the species. 



Yar. sejjtentrionalis, nom. nov., subvar. congesta, nom. 

 nov. 

 At Vadsii, between tide-marks, occurred a form of S. scabra 

 which in all essential details, in the small size of the lateral 

 avicularia, in the free development of small frontal avicu- 

 laria, and in the rudimentary character of the fornix, agrees 

 with var. elongata, Smitt; and in all these points it has 

 characters Avhich are the exact opposites of those of var. 

 pcemdata in relation to the typical form of the species. But 

 while thus far agreeing with var. elongata it is anything 

 but elongated, indeed just the reverse, for the zooecia are 

 closely crowded together, so that each overlaps its successor 

 to the extent of nearly half the length of the area ; thus the 

 aspect of the entii-e polyzoary is that of a stout little bush. 

 As the name elongata, therefore, is not applicable, I propose a 

 varietal name, septentrionalis, with two subvarieties : 1. elon- 

 gata ; 2. congest a.
