Cellufiferous surface usually smooth, but in a few exam- ples the maculae have been observed to form low rounded monticules. Zooecial tubes polygonal, five to six in 2 mm. Mesopores of vari- able size and number, most numerous in the maculae where they isolate the zooecia. Walls of both zooecia and mesopores thin in the immature zone and in the mature region of the younger stage of a.
