Gexus MONOTRYPA. Nicholson. 



[Ety. : Monos, one ; try pa, Iiole.] 

 (1879 : Nicholson, Tabulate Corals of the Paleozoic Period, p. 293.) 



Corallum composed of long, slender, prismatic corallites, 

 which are of two kinds, not conspicuously different from each 

 other. The large tubes are aggregated into clusters or 

 '•monticules," and very slightly differ in size from the 

 smaller ones. The snmller tubes occupy all the spaces be- 

 tween the monticules. All the corallites of both kinds are 

 thin-walled, regularly polygonal, and similarly tabulate, 

 the tabulae being remote and few in number, and not 

 uncommonly disposed at corresponding levels in contig- 

 uous tubes.

 gently bending outwards from a central imaginary axis; 

 numerous small, low, monticules, scattered over the surface
