234 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS. 



Found at Teign mouth Beach by Dr. Battersby. 



This fossil differs from E. Bowerhanki^ by its well-developed outer wall and its very 

 slender septa. 



5. Genus Campophyllum, (p. Ixviii.) 



The fossil described by Mr. Phillips under the name of Cyathophyllum turbinatum,^ 

 and found by that able geologist at Babbacomb, appears to be specifically identical with 

 Goldfuss's Cyathophyllum flexuosum^ a coral, appertaining to our genus Campophyllum ;* but 

 we have seen as yet no British specimen of this species. 



6. Genus Pachypuyllum, (p. Ixviii.)

This species is known to us only from a polished slab, communicated to us by Dr. 

 Battersby, but appears to be sufficiently characterised to authorise its admission in a 

 methodical arrangement of the Devonian corals. 



The corallites are not circumscribed, but their radii are not completely confluent. The 

 exterior portion of each individual is principally formed by a vesicular tissue, through 

 which well-defined but very shghtly constituted costse extend. At some distance from 

 the centre of each corallite, a well-marked subcircular or elliptical zone is formed by a 

 slight enlargement of the septa, and appears to represent a rudimentary wall. Septa 

 (44 or 48) very slender, unequally developed alternately, the larger ones very slender 

 inwardly, where they become somewhat flexuous and appear to have a paliform lobe, and 

 extending only to a short distance from the centre of the calice. Breadth of the corallites 

 about 8 lines ; diameter of the mural zones about 4 lines. 



Found at Torquay by Dr. Battersby. 



This species differs from P. Bouchardv' by its septa being more numerous, more 

 slender and unequal, and by the principal ones bearing a small paliform lob^.
