unequal. Walls of corallites thin but less so where they bound the 

 calyces. Septa lamallar, apparently 12 in number, of two sizes, 

 primary and secondary, alternating, the former stout and relatively 

 large, the latter rudimentary and observed with difficulty, especially 

 in the calyces where the six primary septa are paramountly evident, 

 are slightly exsert and apparently connect with the nearest and cor-

responding ones of contiguous corallites. Pores relatively large, oval, 

 their greater diameter vertical, in a single longitudinal row between 

 each pair of primary septa so as to interrupt the continuity of the 

 secondary septa which are greatly reduced and in transverse sections 

 are only observed in places. Tabulae not numerous, in the form of 

 simple, flat transverse diaphragms. 



The two type specimens have a maximum length of 50 and 70 

 mm. with a thickness or height of 25 and 30 mm. respectively.
