Their line of evolution, thou<^h insome respects parallel to those of the Callocystinae and Edrioas-teroidea, was indei)cn(lently derived through the Diploporita fromthe primitive Amphoridea. Within the class itself may l)e traced the increase of penta-merism, combined with a lessening in numljer of the thecal platesuntil a very definite arrangement is reached. At the same time,there is a concentration of semi-porous structures into the inter-.
