BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS.<br />
22. Genus Clisiophtllum.<br />
{Pars) Dana, Exploring Exped., Zoophytes, p. 361, 1816.<br />
Corallum simple, turbinate. Septa well <strong>de</strong>veloped, and rising towards <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> calice so as to form a spurious columella, but not twisted.<br />
Typ. sp.,<br />
CUsiophyllum Danianum, nob.<br />
23. Gemts Aulophyllum.<br />
Corallum simple. Septa well <strong>de</strong>veloped. A double mural investment; <strong>the</strong> interior<br />
wall dividing <strong>the</strong> visceral chamber into two portions—one central and columnar, <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
exterior and annular. No columella. Tabulce but little <strong>de</strong>veloped.<br />
Typ. sp., Aulophyllum prolapsum ; CUsiophyllum prolapsum, M'Coy, in Ann. and Mag. <strong>of</strong> Nat. Hist.,<br />
'2d series, vol. iii, p. 3.<br />
24. Genus Acervularia.<br />
Schweigger, Ilaiidb. <strong>de</strong>r Naturg., p. 418, 1820.<br />
Corallum composite, increasing by calicular gemmation. Corallitcs provi<strong>de</strong>d with a<br />
double mural investment; <strong>the</strong> inner wall disposed as in <strong>the</strong> preceding genus. Septal<br />
apparatus well <strong>de</strong>veloped between <strong>the</strong> outer and <strong>the</strong> inner walls, but much less so in <strong>the</strong><br />
central area. No columella. Tahulce not well <strong>de</strong>veloped.<br />
Typ. sp., Acervularia Rcemeri ; Astrea Hennahi, Roemer, Verst. <strong>de</strong>r Hartzgeb., tab. ii, fig. 13 (not<br />
Lonsdale).<br />
25. Genus Strombo<strong>de</strong>s.<br />
(Pars) Schweigger, Handb. <strong>de</strong>r Naturg., p. 418, 1820; Goldfuss, Petref. Germ., vol. i, p. 62, 1826;<br />
Acervularia, Lonsdale, Sil. Syst., p. 689, 1S39; ArachnophyUum, Dana, Zoopb., p. 360, 1846; Strombo<strong>de</strong>s<br />
and Actinocyathus, D'Orbigny, Prod, <strong>de</strong> Paleont. stratigr., vol. i, p. 107, 1849.<br />
Corallum composite, increasing by calicular gemmation. Corallitcs constituted principally<br />
by a scries <strong>of</strong> superposed, invaginated, infundibuliform tahulce, united by ascending<br />
trabicula^, so as to form a columnar mass. Calices pentagonal, well circumscribed, and<br />
completely covered with <strong>the</strong> septal radii. Outer icalls not well <strong>de</strong>veloped ; <strong>the</strong> inner<br />
mural investment rudimentary.<br />
Typ. sp., Htromho<strong>de</strong>s pentagmms, Goldf., Petref. Germ., vol. i, tab. .\xi, fig. 3.<br />
26. Genus Phillipsastrea.<br />
D'Orbigny, Note sur <strong>de</strong>s Polypiers <strong>fossil</strong>es, p. 2, 1849.<br />
Corallum composite, resembling Strombo<strong>de</strong>s, but differing from <strong>the</strong>m by <strong>the</strong> septal
