88 CLASS II. 
In most the entire Polypary belongs to a single Polyp. In some 
species no tentacles or arms are distinguishable ; but in others there 
are numerous thick, conical arms, irregularly scattered; in the 
middle the large, transverse oral aperture is seen. The animal 
surrounds the Polypary as well beneath as above. See the figure 
of Fungia crassitentaculata Quoy and GarmarD, Voyage de [ Astro- 
labe, Zooph. Pl. x1v. f. 3, 4, also transferred into the illustrated 
edition of Cuvier, R. Ani. Zoophytes, Pl. txxxu. fig. 1. GuEriy, 
Iconogr. Zoophytes, Pl. xxi. fig. 6. In other species, according to 
the observations of EscuscHourz, Quoy and GAImarD and others, 
many animals are grown together ; the oral apertures, here without 
tentacles, lie partly in the oblong median depression of the Polypary, 
partly between the plates. These form the genus Polyphyllia Quoy 
and GarmarD, and Herpolitha Escuscu. (Herpetohitha Lruck.), 
Haliglossa Hempr. and Knrens.

varies in colour ; Quoy and GAIMARD have figured it entirely red, if indeed 
their figure refers (as EHRENBERG concludes) to this species. Voyage del Ura-
