2. ASTR^EOPORA PUNCTIFERA. (Lamarck.} BlainviUe. 



A. globosa. Corallum cettis suborbiculatis, incequalibus, exiguis, inter- 

 stitiis levibus, poroso-punctatis. 



Globose. Corallum with the cells nearly circular, unequal, small ; 

 interstices smooth, poroso-punctate. 



East Indies. Lamarck.

 without any point of attachment. The cells are small and unequal,
