There is much confusion in the synonymy of this species. 

 Hincks considers that the name ''cellulosa'' has probably been 

 applied to other Mediterranean forms, and in his paper on the 

 Polyzoa of the Adriatic, Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist. 5. xix. 306, 

 he writes, * It is very desirable that this specific name, which 

 has been variously applied by the earlier writers, should be 

 used at last in a definite sense, and we cannot do better than 

 restrict it to the present form, which has been so thoroughly 

 characterised by Professor Smitt.' 



Busk, in his Polyzoa of the Crag, p. 74, gives, among other 

 synonyms, that of Millepora foraminosa of Solander ; but as 

 Solander states that his ^ foraminosa ' is British, I do not see 

 how it can be accepted, as ' cellulosa'* has not yet been found
