Type, G. ccespitosa Lamarck 1818, -f- Morch 1863, as first species.

(7) SPIRORBIS Daudin 1800 (see p. 236). 



Type, S. spirorbis (Linn^ 1760, + Daudin 1800, as 5. iorealis) (see p.

Uncial plates somewhat rectangular, with rather numerous appressed 

 equal teeth. Operculum with the calcareous plate variable in form. 

 6'. Superior setae constant or uniform 7.

(8) FILOGRANULA Langerhans 1883. 



Type, F. gracilis Langerhans 1883, figures. Madeira, Atlantic Ocean. 

 Uncial plates similar to those in Spirorbis. Operculum with calcare- 

 ous concave cap.

(9) POMATOSTEGUS Schmarda 1861. 



Type, P. stellata (Abildgaard 1789, figures, as Terebella] Schmarda 

 1861, as P. macrosoma, figures, + Morch 1863, -(- Baird 1865, + Bene-

Uncial plates tetragonal, with numerous pointed teeth, the lowest one

(10) SPIROBRANCHUS Blainville 1817. (Cymospira Savigny 1809, -f- Blainville 



1828.) 



Type, 5. giganteus (Pallas 1766, figures, as Serpula, + Blainville 1828,

1 In the series of specimens from Denmark, in the Yale Museum, some of the 

 opercula have apparently lost the spines, which are replaced by a conspicuous 

 node of calcareous deposit. The collar setae are small and few in number.
