 Davidson described an A^ilopora from Kwang-si in the following way : 

 A slightly produced crooping polypidium, adhering to shells or to other 

 - marine objects, and composed of a succession of trumpet-shaped, tapering, 

 divaricated tubes, fixed by all their length, more elevated at their broadest 

 extremity, wJiich. is perforated by a<circular or ovular aperture ; the gemma- 

 tion takes place near the calyx, either on the same line as the parent cell, i3r 

 laterally ; the average length of each polypidium slightly exceeds 21 lines, and 

 the greatest width near the calyx does not much surpass 1 line."
