and have the under surface scabrous; they are divided above 
by numerous lamelleze, or plates, which radiate from a central, 
oblong depression. 
~ When living, the solid stony polyparium is enclosed in the 
gelatinous mass by which it was secreted, and there are nu- 
merous tentacula around the central cavity, or sac. These 
zoophytes may be compared to the Actiniw, or Sea-Ane- 
mones, from which they differ only in having a calcareous 
axis, while the Actiniz have a tough albuminous integument.

141, fig. 2, p. 641, and Lign. 58, jig. 4, two fossil species).* 
ANTHOPHYLLUM ATLANTICUM. Lign. 88. fig. 4.—In the 
arenaceous strata of the United States, which the researches 
of Dr. Morton, of Philadelphia, have proved to be the equi- 
valents of the European Cretaceous formation, a single lamel- 
lated coral is not uncommon. It is evidently related to the 
Fungiz, aud has been named as above by Dr. Morton. 
TuRBINOLIA Konici (Wond. p. 320).—Polyparium turbi- 
nated, striated externally, detached, base not adhering; cell 
single, radiated. 
This genus occurs in all the fossiliferous deposits: a small, 
well-marked ‘species is frequently met with in the Galt, of _ 
which subdivision of the cretaceous strata it is a charac- 
teristic fossil. It is figured Wond. Lign. 58, figs. 1, 2.+ 
CARYOPHYLLIA CENTRALIS (Lign. 89 figs. 1,.2: Lign. 88, 
fig. 5.—Polyparium turbinated, or cylindrical, simple or 
branched, longitudinally striated, fixed by the base; cells 
lamellated. +t 
A small recent species (C. cyathus), is very common in 
the Mediterranean, and frequently seen in collections: it is
