. Fig. 8. Haliclonissa verrucosa, Section at right angles to surface, to show structure of skeleton, x 10. places an irregular network, with numerous isolated spicules scattered between; spongin inconspicuous; oxea slightly curved, tapering gradually to a point at each end, 0-5 by 0-017 "-'i^- Remarks. The holotype measures 13 cm. long by approximately 5 cm. in diameter. In places it is almost regularly cylindrical, but is mainly somewhat flattened laterally. It resembles in appearance some of the Antarctic species of Isodiclya and also, to a lesser extent, HemigelUus rudis (Topsent
