  REPORT 
  ON 
  THE 
  STATE 
  MVSEVM. 
  

  

  The 
  next 
  genus 
  in 
  natural 
  [order* 
  is 
  Tectulipora. 
  These 
  forms 
  

   differ 
  from 
  Tectuliporella^ 
  in\having 
  the 
  dissepiments 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  

   the 
  branches 
  carinated, 
  the 
  carinae 
  being 
  greatly 
  enlarged 
  above. 
  

   Though 
  in 
  looking 
  down 
  on 
  this 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  fronds 
  the 
  general 
  

   appearance 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  genera 
  is 
  the 
  same, 
  the 
  manner 
  of 
  the 
  

   formation 
  of 
  the 
  connecting 
  processes 
  is 
  radically 
  different 
  in 
  

   this 
  genus 
  from 
  Isotrypa 
  and 
  Tectuliporella. 
  In 
  those 
  genera 
  

   the 
  connecting 
  bars 
  are 
  lateral 
  processes 
  from 
  adjacent 
  carinae, 
  

   which, 
  meeting 
  midway 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  carinae, 
  coalesce 
  and 
  

   60 
  form 
  continuous 
  solid 
  bars. 
  In 
  

  

  Tectuliporella, 
  strictly 
  speaking,, 
  

   there 
  are 
  no 
  connecting 
  bars 
  or 
  

   lateral 
  processes. 
  The 
  features 
  

   which 
  resemble 
  them 
  are 
  in 
  reality 
  

   the 
  enlarged 
  summits 
  of 
  the 
  carinae 
  

   of 
  the 
  dissepiments, 
  formed 
  in 
  the 
  

   same 
  manner 
  as 
  the 
  enlarged 
  summits 
  of 
  the 
  carinae 
  of 
  the 
  

   branches 
  and 
  connecting 
  with 
  them. 
  These 
  features 
  are 
  shown 
  

   in 
  figure 
  60. 
  

  

  This 
  genus 
  is 
  intermediate 
  between^ 
  Tectuliporella 
  and 
  Loculi- 
  

   pora. 
  It 
  resembles 
  Tectuliporella 
  in 
  having 
  straight 
  branches 
  

   and 
  all 
  the 
  apertures 
  arranged 
  in 
  two 
  J 
  parallel 
  rows, 
  but 
  

   differs 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  prominent 
  carinae 
  on 
  the 
  dissepiments 
  

   which 
  are 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  branches 
  and 
  coalesce 
  with 
  

   them. 
  

  

  It 
  resembles 
  Loculipora 
  in 
  having 
  carinae 
  on 
  the 
  dissepiments, 
  

   similar 
  to 
  and 
  connecting 
  with 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  branches, 
  but 
  differs 
  

   from 
  it 
  in 
  its 
  straight 
  branches 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  

   the 
  cell 
  apertures 
  in 
  two 
  parallel 
  rows.

  The 
  next 
  genus 
  in 
  natural 
  order 
  is 
  Loculipora. 
  This 
  name 
  

   was 
  given 
  in 
  manuscript 
  by 
  Dr. 
  C. 
  Rominger, 
  and 
  specimens 
  

   received 
  by 
  him 
  were 
  so 
  labeled. 
  It 
  was 
  first 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  

   Palaeontology 
  of 
  New 
  York, 
  vol. 
  VI, 
  p. 
  144, 
  pi. 
  liv, 
  figs. 
  22-25. 
  

   The 
  branches 
  are 
  sinuous 
  or 
  zigzag, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  celluliferous 
  face
