comparatively infrequent. Interstices usually narrower than the branches. 

 Dissepiments slender, six in the space of 5 mm., on the same plane as the 

 branches and much expanded at their junction. Fenestrules oval or sub- 

 quadrangular, width from one-third to one-half the length. 



On the celluliferous face the branches are angular. Dissepiments angular 

 and much depressed. Cell apertures circular, in two ranges, opening some- 

 what laterally, twenty in the space of 5 mm., closely disposed, frequently 

 in contact: margins strong, elevated and indenting the borders of the 

 fenestrules. Between the ranges of cell apertures there is a thin carina, 

 having a height of about .30 mm. 



Width of branch above a bifurcation from .35 to .40 mm., increasing to 

 .75 mm. ; diameter of dissepiments .20 mm. ; length of fenestrules .65 mm. 



This species, on the non-celluliferous face, is characterized by its flat cari- 

 nated branches, in which feature it differs from any other of this formation. 

 Formation and locality. Lower Helderberg group, near Clarksville, N. Y.

Bryozoum infundibuliform, broadly spreading, strongly undulating. Branches 

 slender, gradually and regularly increasing in size to the bifurcations, which 

 occur at intervals of from 5 to 15 mm., generally not less than 10 mm.; 

 marked by from three to five moderately strong striae on each branch. 

 Sometimes the central striation is so prominent as to give an angular or 

 carinated appearance to the branch. Interstices wider than the branches. 

 Dissepiments very slender, expanding at their junction and on the same 

 plane with the branches, eight in the space of 5 mm. Fenestrules variable 

 in form, regularly oval near the base, becoming broadly oval or sub-quad- 

 rangular above. Width usually from one-half to two-thirds the length, but 

 sometimes equal to, or greater than, the length.
