CORALS FROM THE DEVONIAN FORMATION. 241 
A vertical section shows that the intercostal loculi are filled up with vesicles, which 
are very small and pretty regular. The dissepiments of the interseptal loculi are almost 
horizontal, and unite at the centre of the visceral chamber so as to form a series of small 
and very closely set tabule. 
Found at Torquay, Plymouth, and Newton. 
In the Collections of Mr. Bowerbank, Dr. Battersby, and Mr. Pengelly. 
S. Pengelli: differs from the above-described species by its septa being more numerous 
and its walls rudimentary. 
In 8. Bowerbanki* the septa are less numerous and more vermiculate. 
In S. Boloniensis* the calices are smaller, and costal radii completely confluent.

Mural circles not very distinct, and indicated principally by a slight thickening of the 
septa, which are placed at very unequal distances. Costal radii (not more than 40) 
alternately unequal in thickness, granulated laterally ; in general larger and more confluent 
in one direction than in the other, where they are flexuous and even angular ; half of them 
do not extend further than the wall; the others become somewhat thicker on that part, 
and, passing on, become very slender towards the centre of the visceral chamber, where 
they bear paliform appendices. Diameter of the mural circle 2 lines, or somewhat more. 
Dissepiments very closely set. 
Found at Torquay and Plymouth.

This species differs from the preceding one by its septa being more numerous, thicker, 
and closer set. It is also well characterised by its walls being rudimentary.

Mural circles well developed, and placed very widely apart, but at unequal distances. 
Costal radii (18 or 20) completely confluent, slender, larger, and straighter in one 
direction than in the other, but in general flexuous and vermiculate (the more so as they
