Bugula decorata, sp. nov. 
Zoarium rather large with thick, much branched stems, pro- 
ducing densely branched, somewhat plumose tufts, two inches 
or more high. Branches unequally dichotomous, often some- 
what a sohernd arranged. Zocecia in two alternating rows, large, 
road, prolonged proximally. Frontal area, ee elongated, 
sunken and wrinkled in the dry state. The dis tal angles are — 
prolonged into a single stout, often short spine on each side, 
frequently absent on the inner angle. Avicularia on the mi 
dle of the front side of the zocecia, toward the base; they bave 
a short, broad, swollen head, with a short strongly curved 
a the pedicels are short and thick, rapidly enlarged from 
the base upward. Ocecia large, globose, brilhantly iridescent, 
elegantly sculptured, with a series of raised i eoewed: lines pass- 
ing up over each side and converging to the middle of front 
side, while their concave interspaces are covered with micro- 
scopic transverse lines. Dredged at Eastport, Me., by the wri-
