BRYOZOA FROM AUSTRALIA. 693 
It is unfortunate that Busk should have named a species Jasciculi- 
pora digitata, seeing that the specific name was already employed by 
d’Orbigny. The species described by Busk is very similar to this, 
and is apparently described from an imperfectly preserved specimen, 
and therefore we cannot be sure of the relationship*. A recent 
specimen of /. digitata, B., from New Zealand has no central 
covering, and is much smaller than the present specimen, as are 
also those described by d’Orbigny and Busk. There is also a fossil 
from Napier, New Zealand, which has a number of capituli in shape 
like the present, but grouped together, and arising from a common 
base ; but there the central portion seems covered with a calcareous 
wall, without any zocecial openings. 
This is, as far as I am aware, the first time that any central 
covering like the present has been found; and until more perfect 
specimens of allied species have been examined there will be some 
doubt as to its relationship, and the generic and specific name can 
only be used provisionally.

There are small fragments from Curdies Creek, Bairnsdale, and 
Mt. Gambier, which might be /. ramosa, d’Orb.; but as I have 
pointed out (“ Bry. of the Bay of Naples,” Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 
1879, ili. p. 279), the young colonies of Hrondipora have this form.

5 The specimens from the River-Murray Cliffs do not seem to differ 
from Mr. Wood’s description ; but the fossil in my hands is so much 
imbedded in matrix that it is impossible to give exactly the zoarial 
form, though I think that it must have been more or less globular, 
and many inches in diameter. ‘The fasciculi are nearly round, 
about 1:5 millim. in diameter, connected here and there by small 
multitubular connexions at right angles to the fasciculi. The 
zocecial tubes are about 0-15 millim. internal diameter, and there 
are at irregular long intervals plates (tabule) across the tubes. 
There are minute pores on the surface, as in Frondzpora and most 
other Cyclostomata. 
* Since this paper was read I have received from Professor Hutton some 
fossil specimens of Supercytis(?) from Shakespeare’s Cliff, Wanganui (New 
Zealand), in which the central part has a calcareous cover; but instead of the 
zocecia rising through the finely punctured cover, they only come up to it, and 
that in long rows or fasciculi, as seen by the outlines of the zocecial walls. The 
outer surface is, in the upper part, striated, showing the outlines of the zocecia ; 
the basal part shows irregular hexagonal divisions. 
This, I believe, is the Fasciculipora digitata of Busk.
