. Iviii BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. instead of occupying only the one or two loculi. It is also to be remembered that the septal apparatus, although more or less rudimentary, has the same general mode of arrangement as in the preceding sub-orders, and never presents the crucial character which we shall find in Zoantharia rugosa This section comprises four families : Favositidse, Milleporidae, Seriatoporidse, and Thecidae. Family VIII. MILLEPORID^. Corallum principally composed of a very abundant coenenchyma, distinct from the walls of the corallites, and of a tubular or cellular structure. Septa not numerous ; tabular numerous, and well formed. 1. Genus Millepora. {Pars) Lamarck, Syst. des An. sans Vert., p. 373, 1801 ; Palmipora, Blainville, Diet, des Sc. Nat., t. Ix, p. 3.'")6, 1830. Corallum of various forms, but more or less foliaceous. Coenenchyma extremely abundant, of an irregular subtubular structure. Calices of very different dimensions in the same corallum. No distinct septa. Tabula horizontal. Typ. sp., Millepora alcicorrds, Lamarck, loc. cit. ; Milne Edw., Atlas du Regne Anim. de Cuvier, Zooph., tab. Ixxxix, fig. 1. 2. Genus Heliopora. {Pars) Blainville, Diet, des Sc. Nat., vol. Ix, p. 357, 1830; Dana, Zooph., p. 539, 1846. Corallum lobulate, somewhat massive, and differing from MiUepora by the regular tubular structure of the coenenchyma, and the existence of small but distinct septa. Typ. sp., Heliopora ccertdea, Blainville, loc. cit., p. 357. 3. Genus Hbliolites. Dana, Zooph., p. 541, 1846 ; Palesopora, M'Coy, Ann. and Mag. of Nat.

Septal radii advancing almost to the centre of the visceral chamber on the upper surface of the tabulce, which are horizontal. Typ. sp., Heliolites pyriformis, Dana, loc. cit., p. 542 ; Heliolite pyriforme, etc., Guettard, Mem. sur les Sc. et les Arts, vol. Hi, pi. x.\ii, figs. 13, 14.
INTRODUCTION. lix 4. Genus Fistulipora. M'Coy, Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., 2d series, vol. iii, p. 130, 1849. Corallum with vesicular coeiienchyma ; thick walls and infmidibuhform tabulae. Typ. sp., Fistulipora minor, M'Coy, loc. cit., figs, a, b. 5. Ge7lUS PliASMOPORA. Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Comptes rend., t. xxix, p. 2C2, 1849. Corallum free, sub-hemispheric, with a basal plate covered with an epitheca presenting concentric folds. Calices immersed. Septa rudimentary. Tabulce horizontal. Walls thin. Ccenenchyma composed of large, vertical, radiate lamina^, united by smaller horizontal plates, and resembling much the costal cceneuchyma of the Astreidae. Typ. sp., Plasmopora petaliformis, nob. ; Porites jjetaliformis, Lonsdale, in Murchison, Sil. Syst., pi. svi, fig. 4. 6. Genus Propora. Milne Edw. and J. Haime, Comptes rend., t. xxix, p. 262, 1849. Coralliun difi'ering from the preceding genus by the calices having exsert margins ; septa being more developed, and extending outwards so as to constitute small costae. the exclusis). Typ. sp., Propora tuhulata, nob. ; Porites tuhulata, Lonsdale, SU. Syst., pi. xvi, figs. 3, 3", 3' (cseteris 7. Genus Axopora. Corallum composite, incrusting, and forming thin expansions, which are often superposed. CcenencJiipna abundant, find forming irregular ridges between the calices, which are small and deep. Sejjta rudimentary. Columella well developed, fasciculate, and expanding at its passage through each of the tabulae. Typ. sp., Axcpora pyriformis, nob. ; Geodia pyriformis, Michelin, Icon., tab. xlvi, fig. 2. 8. Genus Lobopora. Corallum having the same structure as in the preceding genus, but forming large, thick, foliaceous expansions, the two smfaces of which are covered with calices. Typ. sp., Lobopora Solanderi, nob. ; Palmipora Solanderi, Michelin, op. cit., tab. xlv, fig. 9.
