Afpinities. 
Goldfuss founded the genus Ceriopora, and included in it twenty- 
eight species, of which the first in the list was his Ceriopora 
cryptopora, which is here regarded as a Heteropora. His second 
species, C. micropora, is the most convenient type, as de Blainville 
in 1830 and again in 1834 ^ placed the species cryptopora in a new 
genus, Seteropora, distinguished by its dimorphic zooecia. 
De Blainville redefined as follows^: — “ Animaux 
inconnus, contenus dans des cellules poriformes, rondes, serrees, 
irregulierement eparses, et formant par leur reunion et leur 
agglomeration en couches concentriques, un polypier calcaire, 
polymorphe, mais le plus souvent globuleux ou lamelleux.” The 
four species he included in it were — 
C. micropora, Goldfuss. 
C, verrucosa, Goldfuss, pi. x. fig. 6 = Stromatopora polymorpha 
(Goldf.). 
C. polymorpha, Goldf., pi. x. fig. 7 = Palmipora polymorpha. 
C. compressa, Goldf., pi. xi. fig. 4 = Biastopora compressa (Goldf.) :
