BRYOZOA FROM FRANZ-JOSEF LAND. 73 
There are 22 tentacles and two distal rosette-plates. I am 
unable to find any oral glands, and do not see any ovaria or 
testes in the sections prepared. 
The aperture and operculum vary somewhat from typical 
Lepralia; but there does not seem sufficient reason for removing 
it from Lepralia at present. 
Loc. Spitzbergen, 19-60 fathoms (Smztt); Greenland (Hennig); 
Kara Sea; Jan Mayen, 160-270 metres (Lorenz); Finland, 
Davis Straits (Hincks); Baffin’s Bay, 175 fath., Franklin- 
Pierce Bay, Smith’s Sound, 13 fath. (Busk); Inglefield Gulf, 
25 fath., and Northumberland Island, 20 fath.(N.W. Greenland) 
(Hennig). 
Jackson-Harmsworth Exp.: off Cape Mary Harmsworth, 53- 
93 fathoms. 
30. LEPRALIA BOREALIS, sp. nov. (PI. 8. figs. 4-6.) 
Zoecia encrusting, rhombic, very distinctly separated by 
divisional lines, row of pores round the border, surface granular ; 
median suboral avicularium with small round mandible, large 
raised ovicell with numerous pores; fairly thick operculum 
nearly straight on the lower edge ; oral aperture subeircular, with 
a small lateral denticle on each side, four lateral rosette-plates 
near the basal wall. There are 18 tentacles and two oral glands, 
but there do not appear to be any avicularian glands. 
This in many respects resembles some of Smitt’s figures of 
Escharella Legentilit var. prototypa, but no doubt Smitt placed 
several distinct species under Legentilii. This differs from 
Smittia reticulata, MacG., in the shape of the operculum, and in 
having no central denticle (lyrula). The mandible has a large 
median lucida, and two large clear spots, and is somewhat of the 
Porella-type. The avicularian chamber extends to each border. 
Loc. Lat. 77° 55’ N., long. 53° 16’ E., 130 fathoms.
