DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 157 



uljB passing upward and inward. In addition to synapticulse, apparently 

 some dissepiments present. Pali in one crown, before septa of the first 

 and second cycles. Columella well developed, apparently composed of a 

 central erect styliform or compressed piece, around which the inner margins 

 of the septa of the first and second cycles fuse more or less compactly. 

 Reproduction by budding from the angles between calices. 



This genus appears to be most closely related to Pseudastrsea Reuss^ 

 and to Mesomorpha Pratz. The latter genus will be considered in describ- 

 ing a species of it. The resemblance, excepting both have compact septa, is 

 not great. The difference between Stephanomorpha and Pseudastrsea is 

 not so evident. Reuss did not describe the septal structure; therefore we 

 must leave that out of consideration. The pali and columella in the two 

 genera if not the same are very similar. From Reuss's figure it does not 

 seem that the calices are so distinctly marked off from the intervening cos- 

 tate area in his genus. Reuss says there is no endotheca (excepting synap- 

 ticulje) in his genus, but that feature is scarcely of generic importance. 

 The corallum of Pseudastrsea is much larger and more massive tlian in 

 Stephanomorpha.

 Corallum in small rounded masses. The two diameters of the speci- 

 men figured in PI. XVIII, fig. 5, are in a horizontal plane, greater, 30 nun., 

 'lesser, 26 mm.; height, 23 mm. None of the nine specimens studied indi- 

 cate a much larger size. The calices are circular and are definitely circum- 

 scribed. Their margins are slightly elevated above the intervening costate 

 area. Diameter, from 2.5 to 3.5 mm,; distance apart, from somewhat less 

 than 1 to 1.5 mm This intervening area is depressed somewhat below the 

 level of the calicular margins and costate. The costs; correspond to all 

 septa. They may be directly continuous from one calice to the next, may 

 alternate with one another, or may meet at an angle. There is sometimes a 

 small raised Hne indicating where the costse of adjacent calices come together.
