most of the delineations of supposed petrified 

 Powers, given by early authors, are evidently 



Connate (connata) laterally united, so as to appear but as one 



body. Sertularia tulipifera, T. 5. f. A. Ellis Connate 



receptacles are ternate, quinate, &c. according to the num- 

 ber united. 



-.)Ordinate (ordinata) disposed in rows, or in some other regular, 

 determinable order. 



One-rowed (secunda) forming one row only.~In these the re- 

 ceptacles are either placed in a single line; as in Sertularia 

 frutescens, T. 6. f. a. A. Ellis or, if in'a double line, 

 are so disposed, by being all directed or turned towards the 

 same side, that they appear as one row only ; as in Cellaria 

 (Sertularia, Linn.) neritina, p. 22. n. 2. Ellis. In this 

 latter sense, Solander has used the term unilateralis 

 M cellulis unilateralibus alternis" which he translates "with 

 alternate cells, looking one way." v. Elh's. Zooph. p. 21. 

 Cellaria. n. 1. 2. 3.&c. In the Syst.nat. however, we find 

 the essential characters of the same species to be stated with 

 the term secundus unilateralis *' cellulis s. denticulis 

 unilateralibus" may be retained to point out the place or 

 situation of the cells or the receptacles, without any refer- 

 ence to their disposition or direction, v. unilateralis, &c. 

 Two-rowed (disticha} disposed in two opposite rows. Ser- 

 tularia Pinaster, T. 6. f. b. B. Thuja, p. 41. n. .9 Ellis.

 Verticillate(uerfr'e#/tfta)disposedin2t'AzW*or rings one above 

 another. Flustra ? verticillata, T. 4. f. a. A. Ellis. This 

 and the three preceeding terms respect the receptacles of 

 arbuscular fulciments only. 



Linear-ranked (seriata) disposed in numerous, extended, pa- 

 rallel hues or rows. Ma drepor a seriata, T. 31. f. 1. 2.
