10 Dr. G. Lindstrom on the Affinities 



(Geol. Eussia, i. p. 593), as well as Eicliwald (Letli. Ross. i. 

 p. 475), includes under this name the species of hotli Alonticu- 

 lipora and Chcetetes. Milne-Edwards at first adopted the 

 same course, but finally (Hist. Nat. des Cor. vol. iii. p. 270) 

 separates the species with maculse ( = veriuca3 or monticuli) 

 under the name of MonticuUjJora, and retains Chcetetes for the 

 species with calicles of the same size, thereby approaching 

 Stenopora. 



'^ Gladoj^oo-a^ Hall [loc. cit. p. 137). Embraces species of 

 Favosites and Coenites, the latter being probably a Bryozoon. 

 ^ ?Coenttes, Eichw. (Zool. Spec. i. p. 179). 

 . '""' Constellaria, Dana (U.S. Expl. Exped. Zooph. p. 537). 

 Possesses star-shaped monticules, and is synonymous with 

 Stelltpora, Hall. Rominger identifies with it Hellijyora, Meek 

 & Worthen {he. cit. p. 118). According to D'Orbigny the 

 genus is Bryozoan. 



Cyathojyora, Dale Owen (Rep. Geol. Iowa, 1844, p. 69). 

 According to De Koninck (Anim. Foss. p. 142) this genus is 

 identical with Monticulipora.

 '■f/ Fisttdtpora, M^Coy (Pal. Foss. p. 11). Under this generic 

 name have been included fossils wliich are partly Heliolitida? 

 and partly Mo^iticidijwrce in what I have called the " Fistuli- 

 pora stage " of growth. One of McCoy's species, viz. F. deci- 

 piens^ is a Heliolites in which the septa are aborted ; whilst 

 his F. minor seems to belong to a group of Polyzoa often 

 described by American palteontologists, especially from the 

 Devonian formation. It seems doubtful whether these species 

 are really identical with Trematopora ; and Rominger thinks 

 Hellipora^ Meek & Worthen, to be really a Constellaria. 



Limaria^ Steininger (Mem. Soc. Geol. deFrance, i. p. 339). 

 Identical with Coenites^ Eichw. 



Lunatipora^ Winchell (Append. Rep. on Grand-Traverse 

 Region, p. 89). Possesses a branching polyzoary, with tabulge. 



Monticulipora, D'Orb. (Prodr, de Pal. i. p. 25). In his 

 El^m. de Paleont. ii. p. 109, D'Orbigny places this genus 

 amongst the Bryozoa, next to Acanthopora, but unites with it 

 species belonging to difierent genera and from different forma- 

 tions. Synonyms are Nebidipora, M'Coy, and Bhinoporaj 

 Hall. Some authors also consider Diatiulithes, Eichw., a 

 synonym of this ; but the typical species {D. detritus) has no 

 monticuli, sparse tabulse, and the tubes filled up in a peculiar 

 manner, so as to constitute a separate genus.
