Polyzoa from Queen Charlotte Islands. 253 
culato-punctate (punctures appearing as deep shafts in the 
vitreous crust); orifice arched above, much broader than 
high (narrow between the upper and inferior margins) ; a 
shallow rounded sinus in the centre of the lower margin, not 
contracted at the opening; peristome perfectly simple, not 
raised. Avicularia none. Oeciwm rounded, closely united 
to the cell above, somewhat depressed in front, glossy, covered 
with rather large punctures; a prominent, thickened border 
round the opening. 
Loc. Virago Sound, Queen Charlotte Islands (Dr. G. M.

Schizoporella fissurella, n. sp. 
Zoecia small, quincuncially disposed, ovate, the lower 
portion flattish ; oral region raised, tubular, suberect ; surface 
smooth, porcellaneous, shining, sutures extremely shallow; 
orifice immersed, arched above, straight below, with a narrow 
slit-like sinus ; peristome thickened and elevated round the 
mouth, so as to form a kind of neck, carried out in front into 
a mucronate process, which is sometimes notched in the 
centre. Oaciwm rounded, smooth, with a small longitudinal 
fissure above the opening, and a central tooth-like process 
just within the oral arch.

Lepralia bilabiata, n. sp. 
Zoecia quincuncially arranged, short, very slightly con- 
vex (the sutures little more than incised lines), rounded above, 
widening out at each side and narrowing off towards the 
base, which is subtruncate ; surface dense, smooth, of a some- 
what waxy appearance; orifice large, occupying nearly half 
of the front surface, rounded above, very slightly contracted 
immediately above the lower margin, which is somewhat 
arched ; peristome not elevated ; operculum smooth, of a deep 
black colour, distinctly bilabiate. Avicularta none. O@- 
cium a subtriangular extension of the cell above the orifice, 
very little raised, a great part of its front surface occupied by 
a large foramen, closed in by membrano-chitinous material. 
Zoartum of a very dark brown colour (almost black). 
Loc. Houston-Stewart Channel, Queen Charlotte Islands,
