 cited above: 



Original generic (J iiK/noKix. — "Coralluni stony, free, orbicular, or hemi.spherical, 

 or oblong, convex, and ianiellate above, with a furrow or depi'ession in the center, 

 concave and rou<,''h below. 



" A single lamellate, sul)pi'oliferous .star. Lamellfe dentate or spinose laterally."

 Lamarck originally referred si.x species to the genus, namely :

Milne Edwards and lluimo in 1849'' cite under Fungia, F. agariciformis and 

 patellaris Lamarck. In ls.5(), in tht'ir Monograph of the British Fossil Corals'', 

 Fungia jiatellaris Lamarck is detinitel\' given as the type-species. F. juitellaris 

 Lamarck {Madrepora paiella P^Uis and Solander) can not be the tvpe-species, as F. 

 agaricifm'mi.s Lamarck had already been so designated. In the third volume of the 

 Histoire Naturelle des Coralliaires, pages 6, 7, Milne Edwards accepts the latter 

 species as the type, using for it the Linntean name 2ladrept>ra fungites. 



Remarls. — Prof. Ludwig Doderlein has published an elaborate monograph, Die 

 Korallengattung Fungia', in which the various skeletal parts of the genus are 

 described in much detail. A bibliography is also given. A discussion of the genus 

 will not beattemi)tc(l In n'. as the work of Professor Doderlein can be consulted.
