38 MALONE JURASSIC FORMATION OF TEXAS. [bull. 26ft 
MOLLUSCOIDEA. 
BRYOZOA. 
DIASTOPORID^. 
Genus BERENICEA Lamouroux. 
Berenicea maloniana sp. n. 
PI. II, fig. 7. 
Colonies incrusting, sometimes confluently associated, unsymmetri- 
cally flabelliform, apparently without a tattered or incised border; 
cells numerous, several hundred in a colony, tubular, arising as if sep- 
arately in quincunx-radial order from the smooth or finely porous liicni- 
brane-like stock which separates them by intervals for the most par! 
about equal to themselves, the lower pa.rt of each cell being embeddec 
and subhorizontal, the outer part rising obliquely and becoming grad- 
ually free or nearly so. being wholly i'ree at the very extremity only; 
five surface of cells plain or at most only finely striate; oral extremit] 
contracted, the aperture small and round. 
Measurements.— Breadth of colony. L2 mm.; of cell, 0.2 nun.; oi 
oral aperture, about 0.1 mm.: greatest exposed length of cells betweei 
t w ice and thrice their breadth. 
Occurrence. — The type specimen covers between a fourth and 
third of one of the larger whorls of a Nerinea goodellii and parts oi 
(lie two whorls preceding and following, and is met by another sim- 
ilarly radiating colony of which only a border portion is preserved, 
the line of contact of the two colonies being heaved up into a ridge. 
It is from the locality 1 \ miles easl of Malone station. 
In the partially embedded cells and in the resulting apparent sepa- 
ration of the tubes from cadi other this species resembles Berenice( 
microstoma Mich., as illustrated in fig. 6b of PL I of Reuss's " Bry| 
ozoen, Anthozoen und Spongiarien des Braunen Jura von Balin bei 
Krakau," but it lack's the undulatory transverse furrows of that 
species and has the tube- less strongly inflated and proportioned much 
as in the B. tenera Reuss. The last-named species is, however, very 
different in having the tubular cells visibly in contact instead of sep- 
arated by a conspicuous basal stratum that conceals their deeper and 
contiguous parts.
