.304 SIR SIDNEY F. HARMER ON 
Menipea gracilis, but admitted its identitj' with Cellularia ternata, forma 
gracilis, Smitt (1868, p. 283). Whether C. gracilis is to be regarded as a 
species or as a variet)'', it clearlj' belongs to Tricdlaria, Fleming, 1828 ; while 
the other two species are referable to Scrupocellaria, Van Beneden, 18-15. 
Gellarina, D'Orbigny, 1851, P. F. T. 0. p. 181; see also 1852, A.S.N. (3) xvi. 
p. 336. — Genosyntypes, two fossil species. Pre-oooupied by Cellarina, Van 
Beneden, 1848. 
■Cellularia, Pallas, 1766, p. 58. — Genosyntypes, 18 species, referable to about 
12 genera. The name has been used by many modern authorities, but in the 
most various senses, and it has been impossible at present to come to any 
agreement as to the use which should be made of it. The selection of 
0. scruposa as the genotype, by Verrill (1880, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. ii. (1879) 
p. 190) is- invalidated by the fact that this species was already the genotj^pe 
of Scrxipocellaria, Van Beneden, 1845. I consider it desirable to suppress 
Cellularia in favour of Gellaria (q. v.). 
■Cercaripora, Fischer, 1866, C. E. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ixii. p. 987; Nouv. Arch. Mus. Hist. 
Nat. ii. p. 312. — Genosj'ntypes, Angmnaria truncata, Landsborough, 1852, 
Hist. Brit. Zooph. p. 288; Aetea ligulata, Busk", p. 31; a,Ti6. Aetea argillacea, 
Smitt, 1866, Ofv. K. Vet.-Akad. Forh. xsii. (1865) p. 29. The genus was 
placed in a diiierent Family from that containing Aetea, which Fischer 
restricted to Sertularia anguina, L. (1758, p. 816) ; but later authors have 
regarded it as a synonym of Aetea, of which this species is the genotype. 
■Chaperia, Jullien, 1881, Bull. Soc. Zool. France, vi. pp. 163, 164. — Although the 
author mentions Memhranipora (Steganoporella) magnilahris. Busk (1854, 
Brit. Mus. Cat. ii. p. 62), as belonging to Chaperia, the genotype selected by 
him on p. 164 is Chaperia australis, nom. nov., to replace M. spinosa, 
a and G., as quoted by Busk (1879, Phil. Trans, vol. 168, p. 195), in 
describing specimens from Kerguelen. Jullien gives a description of 
C. australis, from specimens obtained at the Cape of Good Hope. But Busk's 
citation was a mistake, the species described by Quoy and Gaimard (1824, 
Zool. Voy. Uranie et Physicienne, p. 605) from the Falkland Is. having been 
named by them Flustre epineuse, Flustra acanthina; see Waters, 1898, 
J. L. S. sxvi. p. 673 ; see also Marcus, 1922, Gbteborgs K. Vet.- och Vitt.- 
Samh. Handl. (4) xxv. p. 6. JuUien's name australis was proposed on the 
ground that spinosa was pre-occupied ; but if C. australis is synonymous with 
Quoy and Gaimard's species, the name of the genotype should be Chaperia 
acanthina (Q. and G.). 
-Chartella, Gray, 1848, pp. 104, 145.— Genotype (the only species), Chartella 
papyracea {Flustra papyracea, Ellis and Solander, 1786, p. 13). 
■Chaunosia, Busk, 1867, Q. J. M. S. (n. s.) vii. p. 241.— Genotype (the only species), 
Ghaunosia hiriissima, Busk, n. sp. Although Busk expressly marks his 
species as "n. sp.," he adds that it is not unlikely to be identical with 
Diachoris hiriissima, Heller (1867, Verb. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, xvii. Abhandl. 
p. 94). Synonym of Beania, Johnston, 1840.
