PETRAIA, Munster, 1839, Beitrage zur Petre-

 petraios, that grows among rocks.] 

 Simple, turbinate ; septa of one or two 

 sizes, the larger extending from the 

 walls to the center, where they are 

 more or less twisted ; no tabulae or con- 

 necting vesicular plates. Type- P. 

 decussata. Streptelasma is by some re- 

 garded as a synonym, by others as a 

 subgenus, and by others "as quite dis- 

 tinct. The forms in this country which 

 have been referred to Petraia are all, 

 probably, Streptelasma, and for that 

 reason I have so referred them.
