Corallum. Simple, constricted in variousdegrees; the generally wider thanthe summit, and the central region beingoften less than half the diameter of thelatter. Outline sometimes circular, butgenerally more or less elliptical. Heightin general less than the long diameter. Ribs. Well-marked on the upper half,less distinct on the lower, studded withfine granules. Plates. Forming five cycles, and sixsystems, but the plates of the fifth cycle * Marked in the Plate Cyathina Smithii. THE DEVONSHIRE CUP-CORAL. 311 are wanting in some of the systems. They are broad, granular onboth surfaces, with the upper edge very salient and rounded in of the third and fourth cycles subequal between themselves, andmuch smaller than the first and second, which also are mutually subequal. Columella. From twelve to twenty thin plates much twisted, withsinuous edges ;
