Afeinities. 
The possibility of this genus being founded on the base of an 
Entalophorid was considered in this Catalogue (Vol. I. p. 249) ; 
but as that conclusion is not yet established, the genus has still to 
be retained. A fresh doubt was, however, introduced, for the 
Museum acquired two specimens from the Cretaceous of New Jersey, 
identified as the type species F. megmra. They are both Cheilo- 
stomata ; if they were correctly determined, the three European 
species now included in the genus would be quite distinct from it. 
This doubt has, however, been allayed by the excellent figures 
of the type species recently published by Stuart Weller, “ A Report 
on the Cretaceous Palaeontology of New Jersey,” Geol. Suiw. New 
Jersey, Palseont. vol. iv. (1907), p. 325, pi. xxii. figs. 12-15.

Affinities. 
This species is the type of the genus, but the early figures given 
of it were inadequate, and left its affinities doubtful. D’Orbigny and
