Professor Doderlciii f>-ives the followiiii;- sis tlic salient fharacters of this species: 



Disk oval, only slightly arched; wall peil'mate, with the e.xceptiun of a large area in the center. 

 Bibs equal in size, represented by rows of rough granulations or short spine.s of the same size, which also 

 usually occur on the central area. Septa nne(|ual in height, straight or irregularly .sinuous, margins 

 entire, finely toothed or jagged, seldom with a few elongate sjiiniform teeth: no tentacular lobes. 

 Attains a length of 200 mm. 



Quelch" n'|)oi-ts this species from the Hawaiian Islands. I have not seen it 

 from there. In order to ilhistrate tiie species, however, a specimen from the Philip- 

 pine Islands is liuiired on Plate XXX\'. F'. jHiiiuiiitciixix differs from F. scutdria 

 by haxinji- the s(>pta une(|ual in h(>ioht at the margin of the disk, whereas in the 

 latter they are eipial.

There is no specimen of this species from the Hawaiian Islands in the United 

 States National Museum, nor did the AUxttross e.xpi^dition of 1902 procure any. 

 Professor Htuder says:* 



A large specimen of this species, from the Hawaiian Islands, is in the Natural History Museum 

 in Berne. It was collected by .Mr. Bischoff, to whom the Museum is indebted for still other corals 

 from that group of islands, such as Fmujia rerr'dlkma, PotHmhi mriaiiii, and others, so that there can be 

 no doubt as to the correctness of the locality. 



Iksrrljilioii (after Doderlein). — " Disk very much longer than broad; oral furrow exceeds in length 

 the width of the disk; wall with pores and slits nearly to the middle. Underside rather uniformly 

 and thickly covered with most strikingly thorny, elongate sjiines; septa at the edge of the disk of une- 

 qual height, with large, tall teeth, which are very roughly granulated or wavy. Reaches a length of 

 about 400 mm." 



The United States National Mu.seum pos.sesses a line suite of specimens of this 

 species from the Philippine Islands. 1 am usino- one of them for the illustrations.
