TRIBE II. CARYOPHYLLACEA. 399 



consequence, adopted for it Schweigger's name. As the lamellae are 

 often much exsert, and the cell appears as if filled with a cluster of 

 them, with their summits projecting out, the name (from avflos, flower, 

 and ipuXXov, leaf) is not inappropriate. It is in part the Acropora and 

 Caryophyttites, of early authors. 



The fossil Anthophylla of Blainville, fall mostly into the genus 

 Turbinalopsis of Lamouroux.

A. coraUi tubulis elongato-turbinatis, scepe curvatis, striatis, raro 2'" 

 latis, massd spumosd laminisve spumosis connexis. 



Corallum consisting of long turbinate and often curved tubes, striate 

 without, and hardly 2 lines in diameter, connected by a spongy 

 mass or a series of spongy plates. 



Indian Ocean. 



This species differs from the other Anthophylla in the smaller size 

 of its tubes. They are gradually attenuate below, and curved, and 

 the paste in which they are embedded, is often in successive layers 

 instead of being solid.
