 10'. Superior setse geniculatc, with conspicuous spines at base of blade. 



(22) SERPULA Linn 1767, -f Philippi 1844.

 Saint-Joseph 1894, figures. North Atlantic Ocean. 



Uncial plates tetragonal, with few unequal coarse serrations. Primary 

 Operculum funnel-shaped, with numerous radii forming serrations on

 primary one. 



(23) SCLEROSTYLA Morch 1863. 



Type, 5. ctenactis Morch 1863. St. Thomas, West Indies, Atlantic

 1 Saint- Joseph (1894) restricted this genus to O. cristata Langerhans (1883), 

 figures, from Madeira, which has a thin concave horny plate in the operculum 

 and uncini somewhat similar to those in Spirorbis. 



*Vermilia serrula Stimpson 1853, -f- Verrill 1885, figure, from Grand Manan, 

 New Brunswick, appears to be synonymous with this species. 



3 As no figures of this species seem to have been published, very little definite 

 knowledge is available by which to determine the correct position of the genus ; 

 Ehlers 1901 placed it next to Serpula.
