Diagnosis. 
Globular or bemispheiical cellular bodies, ranging from 8 to 1 7 mm. 
in diameter. The internal structure not represented. In 
the specimen, described as best preserved, most of the zooecia 
are nearly closed. 
Type Species. 
Glohuli'pora africana^ Peron, 1893. Upper Cretaceous : Southern 
Tunisia. 
Affinities. 
This genus is probably not a Rryozoon at all. It resembles 
Conodictyum from the French Argovian, which is sometimes 
included in the Foraminifera and sometimes, as by Sherborn,^ 
referred to the Calcareous algae ; Glohulipora is placed by Peron 
in the Cerioporidae, “mais sous les reserves les plus expresses”; 
and of the three specimens that he figured the one which he 
described as the best preserved looks least like a Rryozoan.
