In my collection there are many sj)eciinen.s which I have 

 iiitentli'd to describe or revise, but the description of various 

 large collections has prevented, and I am ^lad now to nialce 

 a bei;inninj^ by dealing with five interesting forms from 

 Naples and (J)ran : — 



PedicelUna hirsuta, Jullien. 

 LepraVia hifarcata, sp. n. 

 Juepralia circumcincta, Neviani. 

 Lepralia oranensis, sp. n. 

 Lagenipora ijnot<t, Normaji. 



PedicelUna hirsuta, Jullien. (PI. XII. figs. 1, 5.) 



I'edicellina hirsuta, Jullien, ' Brvozoaire.s, Mission' dii Cap Horn,' 



p. 13, 1888. 



The small specimen from Naples seems to correspond with 

 Jullien's description, and has large recurved spines all over 

 the zocecium, curved and pointed at the base, and their form 

 suggests tliat they were movable. The peduncle is large 

 and is also covered with spines, while the stolon is much 

 narrower thau the peduncle. 



In iny specimen I am not able to see clearly the base of 

 the j)eduncle or the adjoining stolon, but believe it is correctly- 

 drawn. The contraction near the base has no apjjearance of 

 being accidental, though more complete material is desirable. 



Tills specimen wiis referred to in my description of the 

 Red Sea Bryozou"^. It will be noticed that the zocecium 

 and peduncle are very exceptionally large (calyx about 

 0"38 mm., fmdunele about OTl mm.). 



Loc. lie Hoste, Orange Bay, 2\j met. ; Naples. 



Lepralia bifurcata, sp. n. (PI. XII. figs. 2, 3, 4.) 



In specimens from Capri the zoaria have twu branches 

 bifurcating at a very wide angle (fig. 2 a). 



Hound the zcarium there are but few zoocjia, from four 

 to eight, either surrounding an imaginary axis or slightly 

 flattened. The zcoecia are irregularly quadrate, granular,
