about half way to the centre. Transverse plates horizontal, at irregular distances from 
each other, and extending quite across the cavity. Chambers or lamellar interspaces 
capacious compared with those of other Cyathophyllidias. Meproduction within the 
polypiferous cup. 
“Type, Zurbinolia Donatiana, King, ‘Catalogue of the Organic Remains of the 
Permian Rocks of Northumberland and Durham,’ p. 6. 
“This genus differs from most Cyathophylide in its structural characters ; but it 
appears to be nearest related to Cyathophyllum, taking as its type the (?) tri-areal 
C. plicatum of Goldfuss, which is the first species described under the genus. (Vide 
“Petrefacta,’ pl. xv, fie. 12.)"* 
It may be added, that the difference just alluded to consists in the absence, in 
Calophyllum, of a distinct vesicular axis or central area, and a vesicular wall or outer 
area. The genus is strictly uni-areal in its structure, possessing, m an unusually 
developed form, merely the intermediate area of transverse and vertical plates found in 
most of its associated genera. 
CALOPHYLLUM DonatianuM, King. Plate III, fig. 1. 
TurBINoLIA Donatiana, King. Catalogue, p. 6, 1848. 
Diagnosis.—A Calophyllum: vermiform: gradually enlarging from the base 
upwards: transversely wrinkled and longitudinally striated on the outside. Vertical 
plates dense and somewhat apart from each other: primaries four; secondaries 
sixteen. Zransverse plates horizontal, rather thick, and at irregular distances from 
each other. Polypiferous cell shallow. 
This Coral bears a striking resemblance to Count Mimster’s Cyathophyllum radice- 
forme (Beitrage, Heft 4, pl. 1), found in the calcareous Marl-beds of St. Kassian, in 
the Tyrol. 
The specimen figured, which is the only one of the species known to me, was 
procured at Humbleton Hill, in the upper bed of Shell-limestone.

Diagnosis.—“ Polyparium unattached, undivided, conical, deeply concave (hypo- 
crateriform) on the lamelliferous surface. Lamellee denticulated on the edges, plain 
on the sides, alternately long and short. External surface more or less striated 
longitudinally in correspondence with the lamella, and marked by annular lines of 
growth.” (Phillips.)
