1903, and from Bryocryptella Jcoehleri Calvet, 1896. Very probably 

 Reticulipora reticulata Smitt, 1872, is the same species. However, 

 Smitt figured a longitudinal slit on the ovicell and some vibices on 

 the dorsal which we have not observed on our specimen. 



Biology. — The two known species of this genus live in deep waters 

 of the Gulf of Gascogny. Bryocryptella reticulata descends still lower.

We have observed very few specimens of this beautiful species. 

 They resemble especially Figures 252 and 253 of Smitt, and do not 

 bear avicularia. However, the latter appear on some rare cells and 

 we do not doubt that Smitt's observations are perfectly correct. We 



doubt much, on the con- 

 trary, the exactitude of the 

 synonymy indicated by 

 Smitt and Osburn.

 Biology. — Our specimens were in reproduction from January to 

 March. "The color is a delicate pink" (Osburn). The bathymetric 

 distribution of this species is very great.
