Affinities. 
The Fungella of von Hagenow was included by d’Orbigny 
partly in his Fasciculipora and partly in his Corymlopora. The 
type species of Fungella is a capitate Heteropora. The genus occurs 
in the Middle Cainozoic deposits of Bairnsdale, Victoria.

Diagnosis. 
Zoarium of long, regularly cylindrical, dichotomous branches, 
with about thirty -two zooecia in each. The ends of the 
branches are pointed and the sides fluted.

Affinities. 
The position, characters, and distribution of this species have all 
been subject to considerable uncertainty. D’Orbigny in his enlarged 
figure of his type-specimen represents it as bearing biserial lateral 
pores ; and if these structures were present, the species could not be 
included in Fasciculipora, to which it was transferred by M. Pergens. 
Doubt as to the existence of the pores is suggested by d’Orbigny’s 
own figures, as his fig. 21 does not show them, though the figure 
which does is only magnified about twice as much as fig. 21. 
Fortunately, there is a specimen in the collection which is no 
doubt the same species. It comes from a Swiss Heocomian locality, 
of which the name on the label is illegible. The specimen is much 
^ D’Orbigny states that the plate with the name was published in 1839. The 
text appeared either in 1846 or perhaps 1847.
