1*2 lU I.I.KTIX: MISEIM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 



Tlie most closely allied species is probably C. mvltibrachiatus 

 (Raymond).* The type of that species has eight rays, though Dr. 

 Ra\inoiul suggests that the normal number may prove to be seven. 

 In the Caiuiiiian species, however, the periphery is still broader than 

 in C. raymomli, the width being equal to one third of the diameter.

P*RASOPORA SIiMULATRIX VAR. OCCIDENTALIS Ulrich. 



Prasopora simulatrix var. occidentalis Ulrich, Pal. Minn., 1893, 3, p. 246, pi. 

 It), fig. 1, 2, 6, 7. 



This species, and possibly others of like form, is extremely abundant 

 from 100 to 2S0 feet above the base of the Trenton. It also occurs 

 practically throughout the lower part of the Trenton. I do not wish 

 to give the impression that all the hemispheric Bryozoa collected at 

 ^lartinsburg belong to this species. Such is probably not the case. 

 But from the scores of specimens collected, I examined sections of six 

 taken at random. All of these proved to be Prasopora simulatrix 

 var. occidentalis. While other genera may be represented in the 

 many unexamined forms, 'the probability is that few, if any, do not 

 belong to Prasopora. 



ESCHAKOPORA CONFLUENS Ulrich. 



Escharopora confluent Ulrich, Pal. Minn., 1893, 3, p. 171, pi. 13, fig. 1-11. 



I found this bryozoan very abundant in the basal beds. It occiu-s 

 mostly as inch-long fragments not showang the mode of growth, but 

 by remo\nng a large slab of limestone from the bed of the creek, I 

 uncovered some large branching specimens embedded in the soft 

 shaly parting. One specimen was fomid to branch three times in a 

 length of two inches.
