 been described by Beuss, but at a time when chief attention was 

 paid to the zoarial mode of growth (the shape of the oral aperture 

 and other zooecial characters being considered to be of secondary 

 importance) and when the avicularia and ovicells did not receive the 

 attention now given to them. 



The first paper treating of Korth-Italian Bryozoa, of this series, 

 is one by Beuss *, in which he refers to a number of species as 

 from an unknown locality in the Vienna Basin ; but these, he 

 subsequently t found, came from the Yal di Lonte, called also Val 

 dell' Onte (but the exact position is Casa Eortuna), in the Yicentine.

From a similar marl in Montecchio Maggiore, a few miles further 

 south, Beuss also described J a number of others, and a couple from

 some distance to the north-east, a few which appear to be of nearly 

 the same age. In the first three localities the marl contains a very
