wide inside and about 0"1 millim. outside, which is not much 

 more than half the size of that of European T. fimbria^ and 

 the ends are shghtly contracted, but not anything like so much 

 as in MacGillivray's figure of T.'pulchra'^ in fact, without 

 careful examination the contraction would be overlooked. 

 The ovicells are inflations near the border embracing many 

 zooecia, and with wide, irregular, funnel-shaped openings. 



The zooecial tubes are punctured, except at the ends, where 

 there are few or no punctures. With T. flahellaris and T. 

 jimhria there has been some confusion, which is not lessened 

 by strictly following zoological rules. Johnston, Busk, 

 Hincks, &c. had called what we now consider T. Jimhria T. 

 flahellaris ; but Smitt showed that this was wrong, and that 

 T. flahellaris of Fabricius was what Couch, Busk, Hincks, 

 Waters, &c. had called T. phalangea ] so that both species 

 have in well-known works been called flahellaris^ and when, 

 as in the present instance, MacGillivray refers to T. flahellaris 

 it is impossible to know which species is meant. 



Typical T. flmhria occurs abundantly in European and 

 northern seas, and is recorded from a few localities in the 

 southern hemisphere, T. pulchra is found in Victoria, but 

 MacGillivray does not say where. Vaucluse Point, Port

There are numerous fragments from Darnley Island of a 

 very delicate Entalophora, with the zoarium about 0'5 millim. 

 in diameter, with few zooecia, separated by wide intervals. 



I do not find any black-pointed spinules ; but this may arise 

 from the state of preservation, or it may be a varietal charac- 

 ter. The aperture of the zooecium is about 0"1 millim.

 pi. i. fig. 2. 



From the Bottle-and-Glass Rocks there is a specimen with 

 more than thirty erect fasciculi. Each fasciculus rises from 

 a concentric calcareous crust, which is punctured with rather 

 large pores ; and these basal crusts usually become confluent, 

 and sometimes have a few zooecial openings, and also on the
