Victoria. 
The British Museum possesses several Victorian specimens (87.12.10.38 > 
88.11.14.221, 241 ; 97.5.1, 247, 269) of this species. It resembles A. nuda 
in general appearance, but the frontal surfaces of the peripheral branches are 
flat, and all the zooecia meet the basal wall normally. Some of the spines 
are long and thick, particularly the second of the outer group of three in the 
marginal zooecia. The single inner spine and the third or proximal outer 
spine are short and thick, often crossing one another over the orifice of the 
zooecium. The scutum is oval, with a simple cavity, and it fills most of the 
opesia. The branches are in the main triseriul, sometimes 4-serial, and 
marginal avicularia occur, though not commonly ; both these and the frontal 
avicularia being small. I have not found basal heterozooecia. The branches 
do not form joints at the bifurcations, but although typically unjointed there 
seem to be indications of the occasional occurrence of secondarily formed 
joints. The more proximally placed branches may be narrow, with a very 
convex frontal surface. 
6. Amastigia abyssicola (Kluge). 
Scrupocellaria funieulata, Waters, 1904, ' Belgica ' Bryozoa, p. 23, pi. 8. figs. 1 a, b. 
Antarctic, 2800 metres. 
Scrupocellaria abyssicola, Kluge, 1914, p. 611. Antarctic, 2450 metres. 
Kluge doubts Waters' determination, and has suggested a new name for 
the deep water Antarctic form observed by Waters and himself. Basal 
heterozooecia not described. 
7. Amastigia gabeeioides (Kluge). 
Scnipocellaria caherioides, Kluge, 1914, p. 612, pi. xxvii. figs. 9, 10. Antarctic, 3-50- 
385 metres. 
Unjointed, 2-4-serial. Scutum originating distally, not filling the opesia, 
oval or long and narrow, the stalk inserted into the distal end of its lamina. 
Marginal and frontal avicularia, the latter sometimes gigantic. Basal 
avicularia paired, directed obliquely proximally, the tip of the rostrum 
slightly vibraculoid. Median zooecia much reduced basally. Kluge rejects 
his own suggestion that this species might be placed in Amastigia. 
8. Amastigia kirkpateicki (Levinsen, MSS.), n. sp. (PI. 17. fig. 20; 
PI. 19. figs. 46-48.) 
Menipea marionensis (pars), Busk, 1884, p. 21, pi. 14. fig. 9 (specimens from Stat. 
144 a, Marion Island, 50-75 fathums, only). 
' Branches biserial, becoming triserial at a varying distance from the 
proximal end. Internodes usually of 3-6 pairs of zooecia, with at least one
