several large pores probably serving the same purpose ; but 
in spite of the very great similarity of form of growth 
Conescharellina has a much smaller’oral aperture, with a 
trace of a sinus and muscular attachments some distance 
from the border, while Bafopora has a nearly straight proximal 
edge with contractions at the side, as in most Lepralia, as 
the genus has been understood. 
Orbitulipora and Spherophora, both of which have a 
somewhat similar pit (large in Spherophora and lateral in 
Orbitulipora), have much larger oral apertures than either 
Batopora or Conescharellina, and have a nearly straight 
proximal edge and large curved distal end, just as in Holo- 
porella; further, Conescharellina has small cells with semi- 
lunar slits, whereas none are known in Batopora. Conescha- 
redlina has regular elongate chambers within the cone (Pl. VI. 
fig. 8), and these were clearly formed after the outer layer 
of zocecia, whereas in Batopora the irregular chambers 
are zocecial chambers formed before the outer barrel-shaped 
Boeecla. 
The small Cellepora globularis, Reuss, from Val di Lonte, 
is readily mistaken for Batopora multiradiata, as sma! 
specimens are about the same size, though the zoecia are 
larger and have two peristomial avicularia. This small 
globular form was evidently seen by Reuss* from Val di 
Lonte, but he and others have united under that name 
larger growths, without proof that they are the same species. 
Also, Conescharellina eocena, Nevianit, which occurs 
from several places in the Veneto, may at first glance secm 
to be Butopora, but examination of various characters aud 
of the internal structure proves it to be Coneschareliina (see 
Rie Te fie. '8)".

+ ‘This is the Batopora conica, Hantken, as proved from a specimen in 
the British Museum sent by Hantken, and this is interesting, for though 
Hantken often refers to it, yet it is not known whether he has described 
it. ‘This species is dealt with in my other paper.
