This particular region affords a unique tan- gential section showing quite large rounded zooecia and numerous exceptionally small, angular mesopores. This condition is most often presented at the surface of a zoarium and is a distinct aid in the identification of the species. The tangential view, seen in figure 109 h, is the usual aspect of the species both at the surface and in sections. The large zooecia and the very numerous small mesopores are alone quite striking, but in combination with the oblique diaphragms and lamellate method of growth afford characters unlike any other. Fig. no.—Mesotetpa millepoeacea pakva. a, a zoarium, x2, showing the usual form; 6 and c, A TANGENTIAL SECTION, X20, WITH SEVERAL ZOCECU, X35; d, VERTICAL SECTION, X20, SHOWING ESSEN- T^ALLT THE SAME STRUCTURE AS IN FIGURE 109 C.

Bather in the Chasmops limestone south of Bodahamn, island of Oeland. An example incrusting the epithecated base of Diplotrypa petro- politana, from the Jewe limestone (Dl), Baron Toll's estate (Cat. No. 57285, ), differs only in having shghtly smaller zocecia. Other localities are Kuckers shale (C2), Baron Toll's estate (Cat. No. 57286, ), and Kegel limestone (D2), Kegel, Esthonia (Cat. No. 57287, ). The type-specimen and figured thin sections are in the collections of the British Museum. MESOTRYPA MILLEPORACEA PARVA, new variety. Text fig. 110. The internal structure of the specimens distinguished as above is exactly the same as in the typical form of the species, and the differ- ences rehed upon in founding the variety are the occurrence, first, of a di
