The zoaria are bilamellar; the two lamellae are easily separated. The micro¬ 
metric measurements given by Harmer are quite variable; ours are more constant 
and always greater than those in Steganoporella parvicella. 
Occurrence.- —Miocene (Choctawhatchee marl): Jackson Bluff, Ocklocknee 
River, 25 miles southwest of Tallahassee, Florida (very rare). Pliocene (Caloosa- 
hatchee marl); Monroe County, Florida (very rare). 
Habitat. —Western Atlantic: Off Florida (24-59 meters), Jamaica (16-19 
meters), St. Vincent, Brazil (32 meters). Western Pacific: Off Japan (324 meters), 
China Sea (43 meters), Philippines (29 meters), Singapore to Honolulu (32-64

Ovicell hyperstomial. No condyle for the opercular valve. The opesium is 
not symmetrical. The proximal border of the opesium bears irregular spinous 
processes, short, flat, more or less wide. The opesiular indentations are dissym¬ 
metrical. The operculum projects beyond the ridge. Sixteen tentacles. The 
avicularium is placed on the gymnocyst. 
Genotypes.—Odontionella ( Membranipora) Mans Hincks, 1885, and Odon¬ 
tionella ( Membranipora ) occultata Waters, 1887. Range: Pliocene-Recent. 
In 1917 we gave the generic definition of Waters’s M. Mans group. Later 
studies have permitted us to gain a better knowledge of the structure of this remark¬ 
able genus, which must be definitely placed in the Aspidostomidae on account of the 
nature of the ovicell. The genus differs from Hemiseptella Levinsen, 1912, also 
deprived of condyles in the nature of the opercular valve, in the presence of a gym¬ 
nocyst and of a sort of vestibular arch, in the rarity of the lateral processes, and in
