xlii BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. indistinctly separated by superficial, narrow grooves. Columella not much developed at its apex ; but having a tendency to become compact, and to fill up the visceral chamber towards its basis. Sejjfa very thick, closely set, scarcely granulated, and very feebly denticulated. Dissepiments little developed. Typ. sp., Baryastrea solida, Milne Edw. and J. Hainie, loc. cit. 68. Genus Acanthastrea. Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 495, 1848. Corallum forming a slightly convex mass, with its upper surface strongly echinulate, and its under surface constituting a plate, covered with a complete, thin epitheca. Genuuation sub-marginal or marginal. CoraUifes united by their walls, which are somewhat cellular. Calices sub-polygonal, with broad, spiniferous, simple, common margins. Columella rudimentary or septal. Septa exsert, strong, and armed with projecting spiniform teeth, the largest of which are situated near the walls, instead of being the central ones, as in the preceding genera. Dissepiments very numerous. Typ. sp., Acanthastrea spinosa, Milne Edw. and J. Hainie, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 495. 69. Genus Synastkea. Milne Edw. and J. Hainie, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 495, 1848. Corallum pediculate, and increasing in breadth more than in height. Gemmation sub-mai'ginal. Corallites intimately united by their walls. Calices superficial, distinct at their centre, but not so towards their cu'cumference. Columella very small. Septa confluent, progressing from one calicular centre to another without interruption, exsert, and hiding the walls, over which they extend ; their calicular margin almost horizontal, and armed with nearly equal teeth. Typ. sp., Synastrea Savignyi, Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Ann. des Sc. Nat., 3"" serie, vol. x, tab. ix, fig. 12. 70. Genus Thamnastrea. Thamnasteria {in j)arte), Le Sauvage, M^m. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat. de Paris, vol. i, p. 241, 1822; Thamnastrea, ejusd., Ann. des Sc. Nat., 1" serie, vol. .xxvi, p. 328. Corallum having confluent septa, and most of the other characters of Synastrea, but forming a fascicidus of columns or thick branches, erect, and of a more or less arborescent aspect. Typ. sp., Thamnastrea dendroidea, Le Sauvage, Mem. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat., vol. i, tab. xiv. 71. Genus Goniastrea. Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Comptes rend., t. x.xvii, p. 495, 1848. Corallum always increasing by successive fissiparity, and forming a convex or lobulated mass, of a dense structure. Corallites intimately united from top to bottom by their walls,
INTRODUCTION. xliii which thus form simple partitions between the visceral cavities, and are thick and com|)act. Calices polygonal ; fossula rather deep. Columella spongy. Sepki slightly exsert, their apex arched and denticulated. Well-characterised, denticulated pall, corresponding to all the septa, except those of the last cyclum. Typ. sp., Goniastrea solida, Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Ann., 3"' serie, t. x, pi. ix, fig. 7 ; Madrepora solida, var. h, Forskal, Descr. Anim. in Itin. Orient., p. 131. 72. Genus Aphrastrea. Milne Edw. and J. Hairae, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 495, 1848. Corallum increasing by fissiparity, and forming a convex mass of a light cellular structure, presenting on its under surface a complete, common epitheca. Calices intimately imited by their margins, which thus assume the appearance of simple partitions. Columella spongy. Pali or paliform lobes of the septa corresponding to all the cycla, except the last. Septa denticulated, shghtly exsert. Bissepimcnts vesicular, and highly developed. Walls extremely thick, and completely vesicular. Typ. sp., Aphrastrea deformis, Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Ann. des So. Nat., 3"" serie, vol. x, tab. ix, fig. 11 ; Astrea deformis, Lamarck, Hist, des An. sans Vert., t. xi, p. 2G4. 73. Gemis Parastrea. Mdne Edw. and J. Hairae, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 495, 1848. Corallum increasing by fissiparity, and having the same general form as in the preceding genus, but differing from it by the mode of union of the corallites, which takes place by means of the costae and their dissepiments, so that the calices, instead of being separated only by a common simple margin, have each a distinct margin independent of those surromicUng it. Septa exsert, and armed wdth teeth, the largest of which are placed near the centre of the calice, and often assume the appearance of pali. Dissepiments well developed. Typ. sp., Parastrea amivonim, Milne Edw. and J. Hairae, Ann., 3"" serie, vol. x, pi. ix, fig. 9. Section v.—ASTREIN^ REPTANTES. Corallum increasing by the development of buds on stolons, or on membraniform basal expansions. The corallites not united by their sides, excepting accidentally by means of their walls, and remaining short. Septa feebly denticulated. Dissepiments almost rudimentary. 74. Genus Angia. Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Comptes rend., t. xxvii, p. 496, 1848. Corallum composed of short, cylindrical corallites, united by a common gemmiferous basal expansion, and completely free laterally. Calices sub-circular ; fossula broad and
