214 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 



as in the other Madreporites. Diameter of the large individuals rather above one and a 

 half line ; that of the young corallites less than half a line, and between these two extremes 

 numerous differences. 



This remarkable fossil cannot be placed in any of the generical divisions enumerated 

 in the Introduction to this Monograph, and constitutes the type of a new division, which 

 we have established in our work on the Corals of the Palaeozoic formations. It is charac- 

 terised by its spongy Csenenchyma, and its subvesicular Tabulae. 



Found at Teignmouth by Dr. Battersby. 



We have dedicated this genus to Dr. Battersby, of Torquay, in commemoration of the 

 liberality with which that gentleman has communicated to us, for description, a most 

 valuable series of Devonian fossils.

Corallum composite, forming a convex globular, or pyriforme mass. Calices for the 

 most part nearly of the same size, but sometimes intermingled with some very small ones. 

 The inner surface of the walls rendered rugose by the presence of small points ; their 

 sides unequally developed, and presenting 1, 2, or 3 vertical rows of small pores or holes 

 (almost always 2 rows), which are regularly circular, more closely set than in F. goth- 

 landica, and sometimes alternate, but in other parts opposite. Diagonal of the large 

 corallites somewhat more than a line. 



Found at Barton, near Torquay, by Dr. Battersby. Mr. Phillips mentions its having 

 been met with also at Shoreham Point, Plymouth, and Babbacombe. The same species is
