46 CONTRIBUTIONS TO CANADIAN PALEONTOLOGY. 



•equal in size, regularly polygonal, moderately deep, separated from each 

 other by thin, sometimes slightly wavy edges. 



Occurs in the Niagara formation near Manitouaning, Grand Mani- 

 toulin Island, Lake Huron ; the single specimen in the museum of the 

 survey was collected by G. Jennings Hinde. 



Dr. Clemens Schluter* regards SyringoUtes as congeneric with 

 BosmerLij, Milne-Edwards and Haime, a genus founded for the reception 

 of the species Calamopora infundibulifera^ Goldfuss, from the Devonian 

 of the Eifel. It may be stated, however, that Dr. G. Jennings Hinde^I 

 had the opportunity of making a close study of the specimens upon 

 which Goldfuss and Milne-Edwards and Haime based their descriptions 

 before making the Canadian coral the type of a new genus.

" Corallum lax, spreading, attached basally, and free throughout the 

 greater part of its extent. Corallites cylindrical, annulated, multiplying 

 by lateral gemmation, and typically producing new tubes in umbellate 

 whorls or verticils, which are placed at short intervals. Where their 

 walls are in contact, their visceral chambers are placed in communication 

 by means of mural pores. Tabulae complete, remote, apparently not 

 distinctly infundibuliform. Septa represented by vertical rows of 

 spinules." (Nicholson.)

 § The fact that the name Quenstedtia was preoccupied was pointed out, in 1877, by Mr. 

 Whiteaves (op. cit.), who purposely retained the generic name used by Billings for 

 this species in order to allow Dr. Rominger to substitute another one.
