HEXAGONA HETEROPORA (Fig. 330). Context pale. The remainder 

 of the "description" can be made from our photograph. But three collections 

 have been so named, which came from South America. We present photographs 

 of all of them. The plant was named heteropora from the varying size of the 

 pores, and it is evidently (from our figure) well named, if they are all the 

 same species, which I doubt. 



APPENDIX I. 

 NOMINA CONSERVANDA. 



The following is an alphabetical list of the names of Hexagonas that we 

 would "conserve." It does not have the formal sanction of our professional 

 law-makers, but we think it has a better claim, namely, use, merit, and truth. 



We give in addition to the name the country whence described, and as 

 we think the name and country are the most important, we place them in heavy- 

 face type. In lighter face type we summarize other details, viz. : the book cita- 

 tion, where published, and, what is more important, the museums where the 

 type specimens are preserved. We also give what is of least importance of all, 

 except to the parties concerned, the names of the wonderful discoverers.
