162 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 
Corallites elongated, flexuous, rather widely separated from each other, and subgenicu- 
lated at the origin of the connecting tubes. pitheca delicately wrmkled transversely. 
Connecting tubes placed at the distance of about 3 lines; diameter of the corallites 14 
or 13 lines. 
The British specimens which we have had an opportunity of examining were found by 
the officers of the Geological Survey at Oswestry, Mold, and Bradwell. Professor Phillips 
has found the same species at Bolland, Kirby Lonsdale, Ash-Fell, and Mendip; Professor 
M‘Coy mentions its existence in the Carboniferous Formation of the Isle of Man; and 
Col. Portlock has met with it at Kileronaghan, Derry, and at Clogher, Tyrone. This fossil 
is also found on the Continent, at Visé and Tournay, in Belgium; Olne, in Limburg ; 
Ratingen, in Prussia, and Utkinsk, in Russia. 
Syringopora ramulosa is remarkable on account of the distance between the corallites 
and their geniculate forms, peculiarities which distinguish it from S. geniculata,' a species 
much less deserving the specific appellation given to it.

Corallites very long, diverging slightly, separated by a space equal to once or twice 
their diameter, and straight or slightly flexuous. Connecting tubes thick, somewhat 
irregularly arranged, and placed 13 or 2 lines apart. 
Diameter of the corallites 1 line or less.
