Abstract
The characteristics of the genus Cranosina are discussed and a new spe cies, C. spiralis, which apparently has free-living, lunulitiform colo nies with a spiral budding pattern, is introduced. The role of the bas al coelom in some free-living species is briefly discussed. The name C opidozoum declinatum nom. n. is introduced for C. transversum, Hayward & Cook, not Silen.
