 anastomosing plates with zooecia on both sides. Zooecia elon- 

 gate-oval with parallel sides. Zocecial apertures occupying the 

 entire width of the visible portion of the zocecia, and from one- 

 fourth to one-fifth of its length, the front margin rounded, the 

 posterior margin straight. Surface of the zooecia back of the 

 aperture very distinctly depressed below the surface of the 

 zoarium, marked by five or six pairs of transverse furrows
