New finds are those from the Faroe Islands, where the species might be expected to be found from its occurrence off the coasts of Iceland, the British Isles, and 200 m. 600 m. ._ 1000m. Fig. LVIII. Distribution of Sertularella rugosa in the Northern Atlantic. In the hatched regions a common occurrence is noted. Diphasia Agassiz. Upright colonies, the hydrotheca; having a horizontal or, slightly obliquely situated aperture without distinct teeth, but as a rule witli an adcauline sinus, in which the large single opercular plate is attached. The polyps have, as far as can be seen from external observation, no abcauline blind sack. This definition differs in one important feature from that given by Lev ins en (1913 p. 309), the organisation of the polyps being taken into consideration. We thus obtain a stronger and more natural limitation, and the genus then practically coincides with the group Eudiphasia Broch. It has long been a doubtful question whether the two groups Eudiphasia and Abietinaria should be assigned generic rank or not, attention having previously been paid only to the form of the hydrotheca as the decisive point, and distinction thus made between species having more cylindrical hydrotheca; or hy- 14*.
