it highly probable that they belong to the same species as that procured on the Voyage 
of the “Rattlesnake.” When calcined, the front of the zooecia appears convex with a 
marginal row of punctures all round, and more sparsely punctured over the entire surface.

of narrow much compressed branches ramifying and frequently inosculating in all direc-

tions. Cells trimorphous. Zooecial diversiform ; when young, narrow, elongated, oval, 
convex in front, the convexity at the lower end rising into a conical eminence. Orifice 
much produced or subtubular, sometimes cu- 
cullate looking directly forwards, orbicular with 
a straight even lower lip. Peristome thin, 
entire ; a large sublabial pore close below the 
orifice ; surface obscurely punctured round the 
border; a small frontal avicularium, often absent. 
The mature zooecia hexagonal, front much 
hollowed below the orifice with a well marked 
subconical eminence below, on the upper side of 
which is a large sessile avicularium whose acute 
projecting “ beak ” is prolonged obliquely down- 
wards and inwards on the tuberosity. Mandible 
acutely lanceolate. Ooecial cells much larger, 
ovoid or pyriform, surface closely punctate. Primary mouth orbicular or semicircular, 
peristome projecting forwards and often cucullate. A large suboral pore often subdivided
