We have six speci mens which we assign to this species. Two are slightly arched and four are flat discs
with unequal septa and short central fossae . The septa of lower cycles are mardekly exsert, Edges of septa
with regu lar, more or less tria ngular dentations. Costae correspond ing to lower cycles of septa well develo
ped , laminar with numerous spines. They are separated by lower and shorter costae without spines.
Underside not perforated.
NS 3069 is a contorted specimen with a greater diameter of 7.5 cm. The higher order costae bear
only few thin spinulose spines, sometimes arborescent or confluent.
X2 : 3- 29 is a flat disc with a diameter of 18 cm. Septa are regularly dentate with about '4 teeth per
em, Costae corresponding to lower order septa very prominent, laminar with coarse spi nes, which are
very spinulose, tufted or arborescent. Centre of the disc only granulated. Scar of attachement present.

There is a good number of specimens in the present collections . They range from early attached stage
to fully developed ones. The species display wide skeletal variation. We have made no attempt to identify
the various varieties recognized by DOEDERLEIN . We have also seen EH REN BERG's types of his F. agarici­
[o rmis , Nos. 764, 768 and 769 in the Museum BerLin.
