IJfOETH-ITALIAN BKYOZOA. 29 



56. SCHIZOPORELLA TEEFATA (E,eUSS). (PI. lY. figS. 11, 12.) 



Leprcdia ternata, Uss. Bryoz. Oest.-Ung. Mioc. p. 167, pi. iii. 

 fig. 11, pi. vii. fig. 5. 



There is a projection at the side of the aperture, frequently- 

 supporting an avicularium ; and in one specimen there is also an 

 avicularium below the aperture, rather to one side. The oviceU is 

 small and globular. J^one of the specimens are weU preserved ; and 

 probably many names have been given to this species.

57. Fedoba excelsa (Koschinsky). (PI. IV. fig. 6.) 



Kionidella excelsa, Koschinsky, " Bryozoenfauna der alt. Tert. 

 siidl. Bayerns ; " Palasontographica, vol. xxxii. p. 68, pi. vii. 

 figs. 5-12. 



I have one specimen from the Bocca di Sciesa, Colle Berici, and 

 another from Brentonico*, Mt. Baldo, which differ in a few parti- 

 culars from Koschinsky's description ; but the differences do not 

 seem sufficient to separate them specifically. As far as can be seen, 

 the zoarium is throughout a solid cylinder and not tubular ; there 

 is a kind of hood above the aperture, and usually a large lanceolate 

 avicularium at each side. The ovicell is large, wide, raised, and 

 perforated, apparently somewhat like the ovicell of SchizoporeUa 

 tuherosa ; but the state of preservation is not sufficient to permit oi 

 a full description. 



This is no doubt the Fedora of Jullien t; but Dr. JuUien de- 

 scribed and figured it upside down, as the growth is from the tip of 

 the zoarium (the right-hand side of his fig. 39). I give a figure 

 (fig. 7) of the operculum of Fedora Ediuardsi, Jullien, showing that 

 the zooecial characters are Lepralian. 



Specimens from Spiassi (halfway between Caprino and Ferrara di 

 Monte Baldo) have a small conical zoarium (3-4 millim. long) : and 

 from the shape I thought it was Batopora conica, Hantk.

58. Eetepora titberculata, Eeuss. 



Retepora tuherculata, Eeuss, Bryoz. von Crosaro, p. 267, pi. xxxi. 

 figs. 9, 10. 



There is a pit below the aperture, which may be avicularian ; but 

 in the Brendola specimens these pits do not occur with the regularity 

 figured by Eeuss, and there are also other small avicularia scattered 

 about in various positions, and occasionally an enlarged avicu- 

 larium. 



Loc. Yal di Lonte (Bss.) ; Brendola. 



* Erentonico is on the north part of the Monte Baldo range, a few miles 

 south of Mori.
