506 ZOOPHYTA. CARNOSA. Saecinula. 



tions of these authors with the figures which they have given, and with spe- 

 cimens, leave no doubt of their identity. On this subject, indeed, Lamarck- 

 appears to be singularly inaccurate. Under his Funiculina cylindrica (Hist, 

 ii. p. 423), which is the Pennatula mirabilis of Pallas, he quotes the figure of 

 Linnaeus, Mus. ad. ; and, under Virgularia juncea, the very same figure is 

 again referred to, and the copy thereof in the Philosophical Transactions. 



LAMELLIFERJE. 



Gen. SARCINULA. — Free, massive, consisting of vertical 

 parallel tubes, united by intervening matter. 



1. D. punctata Inferior surface concentrically undulated ; superior with 



cylindrical tubes, crenulated on the margin by subordinate pores, and divided 

 internally by transverse partitions.— Porpital Madreporite, Park. Org. Item. 

 ii. 69. t. vii. f. 4 Gloucestershire and Staffordshire. 



2. S. angularis Inferior surface with diverging stria; ; superior with crowd- 

 ed polygonal tubes — Porpital Madreporite, Park\Org. Rem. ii. 69. t. vii. f. 3. 

 —Dudley, Staffordshire. 



Gen. LITHOSTROTION.— Coral of aggregated prismatical 

 parallel tubes, with single terminal stellular discs. 



1. L. striatum Hexangular ; striated longitudinally; slightly waved 



transversely ; each plane with about ten striae ; the rays of the star unite with 

 a small solid central axis.— Luid. Lith. 122. t. xxiii. Park. Org. Hem. ii. 43. 

 t. v. f. 6, 3. — In Carboniferous Limestone. 



2. lt.floriforme This chiefly differs from the preceding in its greater size, 



and the axis occupying a greater space ; to which Martin adds, " centres pro- 

 jecting, pointed, and writhed or twisted like a rope."— Mart. Derb. t. xliii. 

 44 In Carboniferous Limestone. 



3. L. oblongum Pentangular, striated, the stems about one-twentieth of 



an inch from'each other ; the rays diverge from the centre, branching towards 

 the circumference. Park. Org. Item. ii. 56. t. vi. f. 12, 13 — Oolite. 



4. L. marginatum. — Hexangular ; each angle with a raised rib, and numer- 

 ous distant, small, short obtuse processes ; the planes flat and smooth ; the 

 star consists of plates from the centre to each angle, with a few transverse 

 ones. Two detached columns of this species, about the tenth of an inch in 

 diameter, have occurred to me in Carboniferous Limestone. 



Gen. XXIX. CARYOPHYLLEA.— Turbinated or cylin- 

 drical, simple or branched, adhering by the base to other 

 bodies. 



70. C. cyathus. —Primary lamellae of the star about forty in 

 number, with intermediate smaller ones, and a prominent curved 

 centre. 



Madrepora cyathus, Sol. Zoop. 150.- C. cyathus, Flem. Wcrn. Mem. ii.
