Bryozoum consisting of infundibuliform fronds of somewhat lax and irregular 

 growth. Branches strong, width above a bifurcation .50 mm., increasing to 

 1 or 1.50 mm., acutely angular, with small nodes, occurring at irregular 

 intervals. Interstices equal in width or wider than the branches. Dissepi- 

 ments comparatively slender, width .40 mm., rounded or sub-angular, four or 

 five in the space of 10 mm. Fenestrules sub-quadrangular or oval, width 

 variable, usually from 1 to 1.50 mm. 



On the celluliferous face the branches are rounded. Dissepiments flattened, 

 depressed, generally traversed by a shallow channel, which does not extend 

 upon the branches. Fenestrules narrower than on the opposite face. 

 Cell apertures in from three to six ranges, fourteen in the space of 5 mm., 

 nearly in contact ; ranges separated by a narrow sinuous ridge ; margins 

 slightly elevated. When worn or macerated, the cell margins and inter- 

 mediate ridges are obsolete, the apertures appearing immersed and in contact ; 

 disposed in quincunx order. 



Formation and locality. Upper Helderberg group, near Buffalo, N. Y.
