35. LePRALIA (?) BERICENSIS, Sp. HOV. (PI. III. fig. 18.) 



Prom Bocca di Sciesa, CoUe Berici, there are specimens with. 

 Cupularia-giov^ih, the disks measuring 10-15 millim. in diameter. 



The zooecia are ovoid to hexagonal, separated by a distinct ridge, 

 with a row of large pores round the border ; and in a few zooecia 

 there is a small avicularium at one or both sides of the aperture. 

 The oral aperture is rounded on the distal edge, and the proximal 

 border curves inwards, reminding us of the aperture of Leprcdia 

 castanea, Busk. 



86. Lepralia (?) LONTENSis, sp. nov. (PI. III. fig. 5.) 



Zoarium very thin and delicate, with the zooecia at the side of the 

 colony opposite. Zooecia long, bordered by a row of pores, with the 

 peristome projecting in a tubular form, within the wall of which there 

 is on one side a small tube, which may be avicularian, and reminds 

 us of the avicularian tube of a group of Celleporce represented by 

 C. granum, H. 



I am unable to identify this with any of Eeuss's species, though, 

 as it is abundant, it must have come into his hands. At first, I 

 thought it was his semitubulosa. It also looks very much like the 

 Eschara syrinc/Ojpora of Reuss in Poss. Polyp. Wien. Tert. pi. viii. 

 fig. 3 ; and it seems somewhat doubtful Avhether he then had the 

 E. syrinc/ojpora of his later paper before him. EscJiara Jlstulosa, Ess., 

 in the same paper may be this species.

37. Smittia coccinea (Abild.). (PI. III. fig. 8.) 



Several incrusting specimens from Brendola and Montecchio 

 Maggiore show great range in the size of the avicularia ; some 

 having a small one at each side, while others have them directed 

 forwards as in fig. 8. 



Wi'^\ly distributed, both living and fossil. 



38. Smiitia cocciinEA (Abild.), yar. alifera (Eeuss). (PI. III. fig. 7.) 



Eschara alifera, Eeuss, Brvoz. von Crosaro, p. 274, pi. xxxiii 

 fig. 11. 



Mucronella alifera, Pergens, Bryoz. von Wola Lu'zanska, p. 71. 



The branches from Brendola are pretty uniform in breadth . but 

 those from Yal di Lonte are irregular in size. The pores round 

 the borders of the zooecia are much more distinct than is usually the 

 case in M. coccinea, although they occur in living forms. In most 

 zooecia there is an avicularium at each side, but in others there is 

 only one, and there is considerable difi'erence in size and direction. 

 Ovicell usually very much immersed, sometimes more exposed and 

 recumbent. 



In the size of the zooecia the living and Eocene forms agree, and
