The secondary aperture of KeJestoma is peculiar in appearance -rthat of Morphasmopora is almost grotesque; that of the Primi-tive Morphasmopora may well have had an intermediate appearance,as suggested in fig. 9. From such a condition, the extraordinaryaperture of 31. bri/clonei may have been evolved by the enormousenlargement of the proximal apertural spines which impinge against Fig. 10.—Diagram of an cerium of Morphasmopora about 133 diameters.
