short intcrnodes containing one, two, or even three zooecia must not 

 be made an absohite generic character, although all living forms are 

 built up of these short beads. The range in this case supports such 

 forms as G. internodia, Waters, and C. continua, W., being placed 

 with the Catenicellidce. Fig. 8 is a long internode with very long 

 ovicells, but the structure of the zooecia and of the dorsal surface 

 is the same as in those with shorter nodes, so that we seem to have 

 a series from the uniglobular (fig. 1) ; though it may be a question 

 whether fig. 8 should not be called a variety. 

 Loc. Montecchio Maggiore. 



3. Catenicella continua, sp. nov. (PI. I. figs. 9, 10.) 



Zoarium with long internodes, zooecia on the anterior surface 

 distinct ; vittce at each side of the zooecium, and a small triangular 

 avicularium at each outer corner. Oral aperture rounded above, 

 straight below, and there is either a suboral pore or a portion of the 

 wall is thinner below the aperture. On the dorsal surface there is 

 a curved vitta about the middle of the zooecium. In the long inter- 

 nodes and in other respects this is closely allied to Catenicella inter- 

 nodia, ^Yaters (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxvii. p. 318, pi. xvi. 

 figs. 78, 79), fossil from Curdles Creek, Australia, a form which I 

 placed under Catenicella on account of the distinct vittae ; and the 

 discovery of C. septentrionalis, Waters, with occasional multilocular 

 internodes indicates that I was probably right in not separating the 

 Australian fossil from the Catenicellidce.

The specimen figured from Montecchio Maggiore has an avicu- 

 larium below the aperture ; but other specimens with the character- 

 istic dorsal surface have no suboral a^dcularium, and it is an open 

 question whether they should be specifically separated. In recent 

 Caberea we find parts of the same colony with an avicularium to 

 each zooecium, while in other parts they are only occasionally found. 

 I cannot agree with Mr. Hincks'in identifying the British form with 

 the fossil, and would suggest that the former stands as S. inermis, 

 Norm.
