TELOPORA, new genus. 
Greek : telos , end, in allusion to the position of the ovicell. 
Ovicell at the end of the erect colony spreading over the whole width. 
Genotype.- — T eloporcT (Supercytis) watersi Harmer, 1915. 
Range. — Miocene-Recent. 
Telopora ( Supercytis ) digitata AVaters, 1884:, belongs to this genus. 
This genus presents the greatest zoarial analogy with Supercytis D’Orbigny, 
1852, but the ovicell is totally different. 
TELOPORA ? PATENS, new species. 
Plate 148, figs. 24-27. 
Description. — The zoarium is supported on a spreading base attached to algae : 
it is formed of wide divergent branches, little erect, irregularly branched. The 
anterior or cellular face is covered by the oblique orifices of the tubes. The pos- 
terior face bears sulci with large pores at the base. 
Affinities. — This species is not a Telopora , for this genus does not present 
sulci on the dorsal. The
