262 REPORT— 1882. 



Polyzoa ' (p. 139) for a description of Fascicularia, as given by Busk, and 

 its relationship to Apsendesia cristata, Lamx. 



Since the above was written, Mr. Walford has kindly furnished me 

 with the following note on this genus, and of species in his own cabinet. 



^Apsendesia cristata, Lamx. The Barford, Oxon, specimen agrees 

 fairly with Haime's description, excepting that it seems to be attached 

 not by a central base, but to be adherent by its whole breadth. It seems 

 to be more regular than most of the forms figured. 



' Locality. — On the inside of shells ; Inferior Oolite. 



' Apsendesia, sp. The fasciculse are rather coarser, slightly sinuous, 

 and less numerous than in the species mentioned above. 



' Locality. — On stones ; Inferior Oolite ; Stowe-on- the- Wold.' ' 



There are still several genera described by Haime which, on account 

 of their rarity, have not been so closely studied. One of these — Fascicu- 

 lipora, a genus of the family Frondiporida, Busk — has assigned to it a 

 species F. Waltoni, Haime. It is found in the Great Oolite at Hampton 

 Cliff. This genus is still represented by at least two species in the 

 Australian and South Patagonian Seas. In the Crag Polyzoa three 

 species are described under the generic term of Fungella, Hagenow, in the 

 family Ceeioporida, Busk. 



Theonoa, Lamx., is represented by three species, one of which — -T. Boiver- 

 hanhii, Haime — is found in the Inferior Oolite of Cheltenham, both by 

 Bowerbank and by Walton. 



The genus Gonstellaria was founded by Dana, and is probably synony- 

 mous with Stellipora, Hall, and Radiopora, D'Orb. I am not acquainted 

 with the type in our English Oolites. The only example known — 

 G. Terquemi, Haime — was discovered in the Infra Oolite (Metz) by 

 M. O. Terqueim. The zoarium is encrusting, with short zuascia, erect, 

 prismatic, slightly unequal in width, of two kinds : the one more erect, 

 disposed in a double or triple or radiating series ; the other very short, 

 occupying the interval of the rays. Two recent species of Radiopora, 

 D'Orb., are given by Busk, and one — B. cristata — in some respects answers 

 to the description of the Oolitic species as given by Haime. Radiopora 

 is placed in the Ctclostomata, pp. 34-35, with the Discoporellida. In 

 placing the G. Terquemi in the genus Gonstellaria, Haime says, ' I do not 

 find any essential difference between the Palaeozoic Fossils and those of 

 the secondary period, which D'Orbigny calls Radiopora, and they are 

 bound, without doubt, to form one and the same genus.' - 



The genus Ghilipora is one of the Heteroporida types, and it, too, is 

 founded upon a single unique example. There are, however, characters 

 about the peristome and also the interjacent openings of G. guernoni, 

 Haime, altogether at variance with the known types of British Heteropora. 

 The specimen was found at Ranville, in the Great Oolite. 



1835. Neuropora, Bronn. 



Chrysaora, Lamx. Filicaria, D'Orb. 



Species belonging to this genus are present in our British Oolites, in 

 the Bradford Clay, and Cornbrash, but I have not been able to secure 

 specimens to operate upon so as to study the internal characters. 

 Dumortier describes several species from the Middle Lias, Haime de- 

 scribes three from the Great Oolite of Ranville and Hampton Cliffs, and
