Our specimens incrust a shell, a dead Cellepore and a large 

 Smittinu foliacea. They were living and ovicelled April 7, 1888. 



Biology. — This species has almost always been dredged dead and 

 its biology is therefore difficult to determine. We had the good 

 fortune to find our specimens had been dredged alive. The species 

 lives in the equatorial and temperate zones at depths varying up to 

 231 meters. It is another indication of the ancient communication 

 between the Atlantic and the Pacific. 



Occurrence. — Galapagos Islands, D. 2813.

Plate 1, Figure 8 



Description. — The zoarium incrusts fragments of shells. The 

 zooecia are distinct, separated by a furrow, elongate elliptical or 

 a little oval. The mural rim is smooth, thin, salient, and regular. 

 The form of the opesium is that of the zooecium. The ovicell is 

 hyperstomial, globular. In all the interopesial spaces there is a
