1. Stylaster eximius fac. altus. x 
PLATE L. 
1'/,. Part of a colony. Specimen crowded with ampullae (amp.). 
Stylaster eximius fac. altus. ~ 20. Showing the side view of the small kind of cyclosystem. 
Stylaster eximius fac. altus. x 20. Drawn after calcining the coral. Superficial view of the same 
cyclosystems, showing the completion of the cycle of dactylozooids. 
Stylaster eximius fac. dentatus. ~ 2. Part of a very old colony, the surface of which shows crowded 
tuberculate prominences — the ampullae. 
Stylaster eximius fac. dentatus. ~ 23. The extremity of a branch from the same, showing ampullae 
(amp.). 
. Stylaster eximius fac. dentatus. x 2. A young colony. The surface is much smoother than in the 
previous specimen, owing to the relative scarcity of the ampullae. A sketch of a magnified branch 
of this facies would closely resemble Fig. 5. 
. Stylaster eximius fac. minor. ~ 2. Part of a white colony. One of the side branches has grown 
against a sponge (spo), forming a thin layer over its surface. The pink colonies of this facies 
are usually more regularly flabellate, than the white ones. 
Stylaster eximius fac. minor. x 20. A small portion of the pink variety, showing ampullae (amp.) 
and spines (sp.) on stem and ampullae (probably 9). 
Stylaster bilobatus sp. n. x 2. A fragment. Pink variety. Showing ampullae (amp.) at the base of 
many of the cyclosystems. 
. Stylaster bilobatus sp. n. * 20. White variety. Showing the bilobed character of the cyclosystems. 
Some specimens are thickly covered with smaller spines. 
Stiylaster multiplex sp. n. x 2. Whole colony. Showing the arrangement of the branches in 
several parallel planes. 
Stylaster multiplex. x 17. Showing the cyclosystems inclined towards one surface and ampullae 
on both surfaces, always near a cyclosystem, and dactylozooids (dac.) partially contracted. 
gast.p. = gastropore broken across; it is deep.
