A. W. WATERS—REPORT ON THE BRYOZOA. Gia 
MeEmMBRANIPORA ARAGOI (Audowin). 
Flustra Aragot, Aud. Descrip. de ’Egypte, Hist. nat. p. 240, pl. 10. fig. 1. 
Reptescharella Aragoi, d’ Orb, Pal. France. vol. v. p. 465. 
There is a small piece from Gimsah Bay, but in a most unsatisfactory 
condition, which it has not been possible to clean or preserve properly. 
There are but few spines, which meet on the central line; they are broad and 
much flattened out horizontally. The lateral projections over the distal end 
of the apersure which Savigny figured could not be made out, but apparently 
the processes in JZ. sceletos*, Busk, from Madeira are very similar. 
In sceletos the spines are compressed instead of being flat, but the two 
species are apparently related though distinct. Both have large zocecia. 
FARCIMIA OCULATA (Busk). 
Neilia oculata, Busk, Brit. Mus. Cat. p. 18, pl. 64. fig. 6 & pl. 65 bis, fig. 4 (1852) ;,

For other synonyms see Miss Jelly’s Catalogue. 
Miss Jelly in her Catalogue calls this Farcimia tenella, Lamk., but with 
this specific name I cannot agree, seeing that Lamarck only gave a very 
short description, which might be sppaligal to several species or even genera, 
as, for instance, Harcimia (Membr anipora) articulata +, Waters. 
D’Orbigny in Pal. Frane. v. pp. 28, 29, mentions Cellaria tenella, Lamk.,. 
and also C. quadrilatera, d’Orb., and from examination of d’Orbigny’s 
collection I have shown this last to be F. oculata, Busk. 
There are about 12 tentacles in the Red Sea specimens.

Tt Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxviii. p. 264, pl. 8. figs. 15, 16 (1882). This has since 
been called appendiculata by Hincks, and although he published a long note (Ann. Mag. 
Nat. Hist: ser. 6, vol. xi. p. 177) maintaining that I was not right in uniting the two species, 
yet it is clear that Hincks had not correctly appreciated the avicularium. What he figures 
is the side of the avicularian chamber, while the avicularian opening and mandible are very 
small, directed right and left of Hincks’s figure. MacGillivray recently confirmed my view 
of the identity of the two species (Tert. Poly. of Victoria, p. 50, pl. 6. fig. 5).
