That Hamm was right in his selection seems to me un- 
questionable. The reasons for accepting S. cryptopora (Hag.) as 
the t}q)e of Seteropora are stated on p. 188. That species has 
a massive zoarium, and is quite distinct from those with the 
finely branched zoarium and cancellate tissue of Petalopora, 
The name Heteroporidae is, however, the most convenient, as the 
genus Crescis has been merged; for of the two species which 
d’Orbigny assigned to it, the first, C. dumetosa (Lamx.), is merged 
in Seteropora conifera (Lamx.), and the second, C. complicata, is 
practically undescribed and unknown,^

Diagnosis. 
Heteroporidse with a simple capitate zoarium. The peduncle is 
narrow. The head usually club-shaped. 
Apertures irregularly scattered over the head of the zoarium. 
Mesopores numerous, irregularly arranged. 
Type Species. 
Fungella dujardini, von Hagenow, 1851. (For selection of this 
species as the type, see note, p. 46, where the family is referred to 
as Crescisidse.) 
Affinities. 
This genus is a Seteropora with a capitate zoarium. The 
Heteroporous structure of the zoarium is not manifest from 
von Hagenow’s original figures ; but that the zoarium is dimorphic 
is clearly shown by the specimen figured on PI. YII. Fig. 2, 
and the section Fig. 46, p. 183.
