REPORT ON THE POLYZOA. 21 



'described by Professor Smitt as Entalopora deflexa. It is scarcely possible that Mr. 

 Hincks's Stomatopora should be the same, but to indicate the possibility that it may be 

 a recent variety, I have retained the specific appelation for a decided Picstulopora, 

 for which otherwise the name "fasicularis " would have been very appropriate.

Character. — Zoarium branched, branches of uniform thickness (about 1 to 2 mm.), 

 furcate and ending in a short fork. Entire surface studded with the exserted extremities 

 of the immersed zooecia, disposed quincuncially or in nearly regular subspiral series, and 

 about eight in the width of the zoarium. Orifice 0'12 to 0'15 mm. in diameter. Surface 

 of zocecia punctate, except the peristonial production which is clear, vitreous, shining 

 and ringed. Ooecia ? 



Habitat. — Station 162, ofi" East Moncceur Island, Bass Strait, 38 fathoms, sand and 

 shells. 



[Port Philip Heads, Macgilliv.] 



Probably, as suggested by Mr MacgUlivray, aUied to Entalophora subregularis, 

 d'Orbigny.

CJiaracter. — Zoarium entirely adnate, partially erect from an expanded base, in 

 shape linear, reniform, flabelliform, or claviform ; simple or divided into branching 

 lobes. Zooecia distinct, more or less free and much elongated ; irregularly disposed or 

 ranged in more or less regular series, diverging from a mesial line. Ooecia formed by 

 an inflation of the branch.
