F. A. SMITT, 



used as a specifical character within this group, will, perhaps, be the form of the 

 ooecia. From this character the 



Bugula flabellata (Pl. V, tig. 48—52), 



as dehned by Busk *), claims the right of being distinguished from the others. 



Among the Floridan Bryozoa, in company with the Halophila Johnstonice, I find 

 two small but very clear and complete colonies of this Bugula with the zocecia varying 

 from 2 to 4 rows in the branches.
