CowPER Reed stated that this fossil, as well as those which have- 

 been described by Stuckenberg from Siberia and by Wenjukow from 

 Russia under the same specific name, seems to him probably to be 

 identical with his new species A. subcnmpanulata from the Middle 

 Devonian of the Northern Shan States. According to Cowper Reed, 

 A. tiibcrformis Goldfuss, in the original sense of Goldeuss, is quite dis- 

 tinct from A. snhcinitpanulata; the latter, being characterised by its large 

 non-interlacing branches, with suddenly expanding calices, stands nearer 

 A. campamilata McCov than any other European Devonian species. 



The single specimen at hand which is attached on a Spi^-ifcr is provision- 

 all)' referred to this species ; the specimen is too imperfect for drawing.

 Stuckenberg from Siberia, Wenjl'kow from Russia, and Cowper Reed from ^

Corallum composite, fasciculate ; corallites long, erect, subparallel, only ' 

 in contact at the point of gemmation ; surface of the corallites transversely 

 wrinkled and finely striated. No septa nor septal spines at all. Tabulae 

 complete, moderately close, horizontal. Multiplied by lateral gemmation. « 



Obs. — -The complete absence of septa is a characteristic Very peculiar of 

 the genus, which otherwise strikingly resembles FlctcJieria M.-Edw. et Haime. 

 The latter, based on an upper Silurian coral F. tiibifcra, has the corallum simi- 

 larly composed of subparallel, cyhndrical corallites, multiplying by calicinal - 

 gemmation (?) and united laterally, neither by connecting tubes as in Syringo- 

 pora, nor by mural expansions as in Thecostcg'itcs. Its wall is strong, being
