1895. Smittia porifera, Norclgaard, " System, fijrtegn. i Norge Marine 

 Polyzoa," Bergens Mus. Aarbog, 1894-95, p, '2Q, pi. ii. iig. 1. 



1900. Lepraliu porifera, Waters, " Bryozoa Frauz-Josef Laud," Journ. 

 Linn. Soc, Zool. ^o\. xxviii. p. 75, pi. viii. tigs. 14, 15. 



Waters has figured the operculum, which I have not 

 myself examined. 



Mehavn, East Finmark [Norclgaard). 



Specimens in my collection are from Spitsbergen [Smitt), 

 Gulf of St, Lawrence [Principal Daivson), and West Green- 

 land (^Valorous,' 1875). 



Smitt, in his work on the Floridan Bryozoa, separated his 

 formse niajuscula and minuscula from j^orifera, and regarded 

 his typical porifera as more neai'ly related to palmata and 

 the other forms to Landsborovii. 



64. "Smittia'' lineata, Norclgaard. (PI. IX. figs. 14, 15.) 



1895. Smittia lineata, Nordgaard, "System. fiJrtegn. i Norge Marino 

 Polyzoa," Bergons Mus. Aarbog, 1894-95, no. 2, p. 27, pi. ii. tig. 2. 



This I'ccently described species has been known to me for 

 years, and has been regarded as an undescribcd form. 



The types of Nordgaard were taken by him off Nordkyn, 

 and I am indebted to him for a specimen which enables me 

 to be certain of its identification ; and I also found the 

 species in another East Finmark locality — namely, encrusting 

 Escharopsis rosacea dredged off Vadso. 



Other specimens in my collection are one received from 

 Smitt taken at Spitsbergen, and named Eschar e t la auricu- 

 lata; others from the Gulf of St. Lawrence [IVhiteaves), and 

 off Holsteinborg, Greenland, in 57 fathoms [' Valorous/ 

 1875). 



This, in my opinion, cannot remain in the present genus, 

 and is more nearly related to auriculata, as Smitt considered 

 it. I have figured the operculum of auriculata (PI. IX. 

 fig. 16) for comparison with that of lineata (fig. 15).

 1877. Lepralia reticulatu-pundata, Ilincks, " Polyzoa Iceland and 



Labrador," Auu. ifc Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. xix. p. 103, pi. x.^ 



tigs. 3, 4. 

 1887. Escharella reticidato-pimctata , Levinsen, Dijmplina-TogletszooL- 



bot. Udbytte, p. 318, pi. xxvii. tig. 4 (the operculum). 



I dredged this species in 100-120 fathoms in Bog Fiord, 

 and Nordgaard records it from Svoerholt. I have it also 

 from Spitsbergen [Smitt), Jan Mayen (Austro-Hungariau
