306 CANON A. M. NORMAN ON THE POLYiiOA

This species, for thus I regard it, is very abundant on stones between tide- 

 marks at Gorgulho, Madeira, and probably therefore all along the coast. I 

 fail to see the connection with L. Pallasiana. It seems to be very constant 

 in its characters. There are four mouth-spines^ two on each side of the 

 orifice. 



Lepralia contragta, Waters. W. (PI. 41. figs. 5. 6.) 



1899. Lepralia contracta, Waters, " Bryoz. from Madeira," Journ. Roy. Micr. Soc. p. 11 

 pi. 3. fig. 21. 



A remarkable species especially characterised by its curious ooecium, with 

 the door-like frontal portion (see Waters's figure, lower zooecium). When 

 this is broken away, as it is apparently to give exit to the embryos, the aspect 

 of the zoarium with the remaining portion of the ocecia still in situ is very 

 striking. I have found two or three specimens which have been compared 

 with the type preserved in the Funchal Museum.

I have seen the type in the Funchal Museum but no other specimen.

1880. Lepralia adpressa, Hincks, Brit. Marine Polyz. p. 307, pi. 33. figs. 5-7. 



I do not refer this species to the L. adpressa of Busk, because I have not 

 seen or heard of any specimen from the Atlantic which has sculpture 

 corresponding with that found in L. adpressa from the Pacific at Chiloe Island. 

 It is under this last name, however, that Busk recorded the species from 

 Madeira.
