Mehavn, East Finmark (Nordgaard). 
Specimens in my collection are from Spitsbergen (Smtt), 
Gulf of St. Lawrence (Principal Dawson), and West Green- 
land (‘ Valorous,’ 1875). 
Smitt, in his work on the Floridan Bryozoa, separated his 
forme majuscula and minuscula from porifera, and regarded 
his typical porifera as more nearly related to palmata and 
the other forms to Landsdorovit.

1895. Smittia lineata, Nordgaard, ‘‘System. fortegn. i Norge Marine

This recently described species has been known to me for 
years, and has been regarded as an undescribed 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 Escharella auricu- 
lata; others from the Gulf of St. Lawrence (Whiteaves), and 
off Holstemborg, 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 (Pl. IX. 
fig. 16) for comparison with that of lineata (fig. 15).

I dredged this species in 100-120 fathoms in Bog Fiord, 
and Nordgaard records it from Sverholt. I have it also 
from Spitsbergen (Smitt), Jan Mayen (Austro-Hungarian
