from the Trondhjem Fjord and the north of Norway, I could see no 

 median pore in the ocEcia, which were moreover closely set with de- 

 pressions (fig. 29). The opercular lobe was bent to one side; when the 

 operculum was horizontal, only the projection of the lobe could be seen 

 (fig. 32). In fig. 30 the lobe is seen, while the flap itself has been 

 somewhat compressed. 



The colour of the dried incrustation was a dull brown. 

 As far as I can understand, it is this form that Busk originally 

 described under the name Lepralia sinuosa. 



It is at , any rate certain that there is a complete similarity between 

 my .specimens from the north of Norway, and a dull brown colony from 

 Shetland, which I received from Canon Norman, under the name of 

 Schizoporella sinuosa, Busk. There was no median pore in the 

 ooecia in this either, the ooecia being moreover furnished with de- 

 pressions. 



It is possible that after a thorough examination of a large number 

 of specimens, the form from Herlo Sound cannot be accorded higher rank 

 than a variety; but I will set it up temporanly as a species, calling it 

 Schizoporella magniporata; and I will here give the most important 

 synonyms for both species.

I suppose that magniporata has on the whole. a more southern 

 distribution than sinuosa, and both are certainly nearly allied to the 

 previously described Sell. Udenkapi.
