Remarks: It may be noted that Kukenthal (1002, 1906) and HicKsox (1931), as a diagnostic character for this group, use the feature that the zooids only possess one pairâthe dorsal pairâof mesenteric filaments. In Ceralocaulon ivandeU, however, mesenteric filaments are present on all the mesenteries. Kaniilv: Xeniidae \enill 1866. The species of this group are for the part shallow-water and the only two deep-water forms which are known at present, the one occurring in the North-Atlantic Ocean, belong to a special genus. Genus: Ceratocaulon Jungersen 18it2. Uiagnosis: Xeniidea with monomorphic zooids and a distinct stalk free from anthocotliae and surrounded bv a consi)icuous horny or chitinous cuticula. The anthocodiae set in a fairly distinct capitulum and l)eing retractile. Ceratocaulon wandeli Jungerseu 1892. Ceratocaulon Wamleli Jungersen, 1892, p. 234-242, figs. 1â1.
