jured, and part of the spermatic cords and lamellae extruded ; 13 f,

East Indies and Pacific Ocean. Feejee Islands. Exp. Exp. 



Specimens of this species from the Feejees have the cones of the 

 surface often quite regular and nearly cylindrical in outline, about a 

 line and a half high, and a line in diameter, with the intervening 

 spaces reticulate cellular, as represented in the figure referred to. It 

 forms small subhemispherical masses incrusting below. In one spe- 

 cimen the cones are almost uniformly compressed and more conical, 

 as described by Ellis and Lamarck. The texture of the corallum is 

 very cellular.

NOTE. The Madrepora exesa, of Esper (Pflanz. i. 163, tab. 31, figs. 1, 2), may 

 be part of an Agaricia, as appears from the character of the surface, shown in his 

 figure 2. This is, however, doubtful. It is the Monticularia meandrina of Lamarck 

 (ii. 394, No. 5). Esper's figure 3 of this plate is the Hydnoplwra Esperi of Fischer, 

 (Oryct. de Mosc. pi. 34, fig. 4.) Lamarck refers it to the microcoiia, from which it 

 differs very essentially. 



2. MONTICULARIA LoBATA. (Lamarck.) 



M. incrustans et crasse gibbosa aut gibboso-lobata, lobis erectis, -2" 

 crassis, apicefere planis. Corallum percelluksum ; conulis confer tis, 

 incequalibus, compressis, pracipue ad apicem etfere 2'" altis ; lamellis 

 subserrulatis. 



Incrusting and prominently gibbous or gibboso-lobate, with the lobes 

 erect, to 2 inches thick, and nearly flat at top. Corallum light 

 cellular; conelets crowded, unequal, compressed, especially so over 

 the apex, where they are nearly 2 lines high ; lamellae subserrulate.
