Zoce.cia ovate, distinct, separated by distinct lines, alternate, thickly punctured over the surface, a row of small punctures outlining the margin; orifice arched above, lower margin straight with a characteristic looplike sinus in the middle (pi. 19, fig. 42); peristome slightly raised. Avicularia none. Ocecia prominent, taller than broad, smooth, convex, granular. The species here identified as S. cecili lacks the smooth utubonate process described by most observers. Waters ('79) describes a species from the Bay of Napies which possesses an imperforate area below the aperture, and points out that this species occurs in the Red Sea and from K,no Channel, Japan, in which neither imperforate area nor umbo are found. He remarks that we may consider that there is a variety with an umbo and one without. S. cecili is not found in great abundance. A single specimen is reported by Hincks from Queen Charlotte Islands. Only a single small piece of a colony growing over sponge occurs in our collection from San Pedro, California. 58. Schizoporella hyalina (Linnaeus) Hincks. PI. 19, figs. 43, 44, 45.
