The present species differs so much from associated ramose bryo- zoans in the practical absence of diaphragms and the strong, crenu- lated walls, that comparisons are unnecessary. Critically compared with AnapJiragma mirabile, however, it is found to agree in growth, thickness of zooecial walls, and in most of the internal characters, differing only in that the walls are more crenulated and that the zooecia are a trifle smaller. These differences are possibly of specific.
