however (Eevision, p. 396), treats M. ineudonensis as identical with 
21. ogivalis. But 21. ogivalis has only eight instead of twelve 
zooecia in a circuit of the stem ; it has depressed instead of raised 
peristomes ; its longitudinal series of apertures are more crowded, 
and below each aperture is a well-developed tubercle. But owing 
to the uncertainty regarding 2£. 7neudonensis, it is advisable to adopt 
the name proposed by Pergens, after the author of the admirable 
annual records of Bryozoan literature.
