Dybowski has given a lengthy, detailed description of Eichwald's Trematopora colliculata, and more or less extended descriptions of the species and varieties listed above as synonyms. On account of the marked external peculiarities, elongate-oval zooecia with closed interzooecial spaces, Eichwald's illustrations (fig. 188) are sufficient for the identification of his species; moreover, Dybowski has figured the internal structure fairly well (see pi. 3, figs. 4-4 &). I have examined over 400 specimens with this same internal struc- ture. Of these a small percentage have their maculae raised into rounded monticules, as figured by Eichwald, a large number have their monticules trans- versely elongated, while, finally, in the largest number of specimens the maculae are not rais
