 underside of the zoarium is covered by epitheca.

Diagnosis. — Zoarium small, dense, and hemispherical ; it 

 grows from a low funnel-shaped central disk ; from this arise 

 the radiating bundles which unite into irregular twisted 

 laminse. The apertures occur in series or in isolated teeth. 



Distribution. — England : Inferior Oolite — Forest Marble. 

 Foreign : Bajocian, Germany ; Bathonian, France. 



Family Theonoidae, Busk. 



Diagnosis. — Cyclostomata Tubulata in which the zooecia 

 are simple, short, open tubes; they pass through a Defrancia 

 stage (? always) . The zooecia are monomorphic. 



The apertures occur along raised ridges. 



Genus 1. Actinopora, d'Orbigny, 1852. 



Diagnosis. — Theonoidse in which the zoarium is a flat, 

 simple, adnate disk. The zoarium consists of a central 

 depression, of a rim crossed by radiating ridges, and usually 

 also of a flat peripheral selvage. 



Type species : A. regularis, d'Orbigny, 1852. 



1. Actinopora Phillipsi (Haime). 



Lichenopora Phillipsi, Haiuie, 1854, Bry. Jur., Mem. Soc. ge"ol. France, 

 s<5r. 2, t. y. p. 206, pi. x. fig. 10. 



Diagnosis. — Zoarium regular, circular ; radial ridges about 

 22 in number, straight, regular, unbranched. The apertures 

 are biserial. New ridges arise from the interradial valleys. 

 A broad expansion surrounds the zoarium ; this is low and 

 flat, and is not crossed by the radial ridges. 



Distribution. — Great Oolite, Hampton, near Bath, and 

 Richmond boring.
