CARYOPHYLLEA. 223 
T. Milletiana, found in both the crags. Dr. Johnston re- 
marks, that “this fact assumes great interest as an additional 
illustration of the permanency of species in general. It is 
long since the ‘coralline crag’ was deposited, long enough, 
methinks, for any good law to develope its effects in its 
subjects, and yet this very old Turbinolia has not obeyed 
the ‘law of development,’ but has steadily maintained, amid 
the changes around it of very many centuries, its original 
features, and form, and size, alike careless of human theo- 
rems, and insensible to the agency of its innate appetencies 
and higher aspirations !” 
Genus XX VI. CARYOPHYLLEA, Lamarck. 
Gen. Char. Animal like the Actinia. Polypidom permanently 
fixed, simple, striated externally in a longitudinal direction, the 
top hollowed into a lamellated stellular cup.—Dr. Johnston.

coveries in the south of England are well known.
