BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Also H. flagellum (part NHMUK 97.5.1.793, Falmouth). Remarks. Hippothoa flagellum, first described from the Italian Pliocene, has been accorded a virtually global Recent distribution, ranging from Norway to West Africa (Hayward & Ryland 1999) and the South Atlantic (Morris 1980), the southeastern United States and Caribbean, the Pacific Ocean from Japan, Hawaii, California and Mexico (Morris 1980), New Zealand (Gordon 1984, 1989), Chile (Moyano 1986) and Antarctica (Hayward 1985). Morris (1980), however, distinguished New Zealand and Australian material as a separate species, particularly highlighting the narrower, almost ‘triangular’ shape of the autozooidal orifice (Fig. 10I). SEM images show that, immediately proximal of the sinus, there is a slight channel between two slight elevations. The female orifice is weakly sinuous, with a median concavity flanked by a pair of slight transverse elevations (Fig. 10J). SEM comparison of New Zealand specimens with a colony of H. flagellum from Falmouth, England shows consistent differences that justify Morris’ decision—not only is the autozooidal orifice in H. flagellum less tapered (Fig. 10G), the proximal orificial rim of the female zooid (Fig. 10H) lacks the slight eminences that confer the appearance of sinuosity. Further, almost all characters in H. watersi are smaller on average than in H. flagellum, with non-overlapping metrics (one exception being the width of the female zooid). Morris (1980) was almost certainly correct in splitting H. flagellum [we await confirmation from gene sequencing], whereas later authors have vacillated. For example, Gordon (1984, 1989) thought that H. watersi could be included in H. flagellum; and Hippothoa belgica Hayward & Thorpe, 1989 was correctly segregated by these authors from nominal look-alike Hippothoa distans MacGillivray, 1869, but later subsumed in the synonymy of H. flagellum (Hayward 1995). [Hastings (1979) and Gordon (1984) had clarified the status of H. distans, which has two pairs of lateral pore-chambers and a pseudoporous ooecium.] The reason for the reluctance to split H. flagellum is the number of shared characters; not only do H. flagellum, H. watersi and H. belgica look very similar, they all have only a single pair of lateral pore-chambers, and both H. flagellum and H. watersi have similar zooeciules and a kenozooidal ancestrula. Differences are most obvious in orificial characters. Morris (1980) included Challenger material from Heard Island (South Indian Ocean) in H. watersi, but her illustrations give evidence that it is either H. belgica or yet another new species. She also included Pliocene New Zealand material in her synonymy, but noted differences in orifice shape compared to the Recent holotype specimen. Hippothoa watersi ranges throughout the New Zealand region from the Kermadec Ridge to the western approaches to Foveaux Strait at 0.5–635 m depth. Morris (1980) also reported it from Port Phillip Heads, Victoria, Australia. It is clear from the illustrations in Moyano (1986) that a colony from Madre de Dios Archipelago, southern Chile, also belongs to this species.Published as part of Gordon, Dennis P., 2020, New Hippothoidae (Bryozoa) from Australasia, pp. 451-476 in Zootaxa 4750 (4) on pages 469-471, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4750.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/370876
