Página 228 - Ambulacra in mature specimens very prominent, triangular in transverse section, extending around the entire periphery of the theca and touching the column. In the second largest individual each ambulacrum had about 44 brachioles, in another mature but smaller specimen there were only 32. Brachioles unknown, apparently more slender than in P. gordoni. Ambulacral grooves narrow, and covered by highly elevated ambulacralia of about the same nature as in P. gordoni, but less numerous and the larger plates...

Página 73 - The Oriskany equivalents are not present in southern Europe and if, as is probably true, this time is represented by faunas, they are very unlike the American development. Nor is the southern Oriskany life — the Camden of the Mississippian Sea — present in Europe, yet when the typical Oriskany and more especially the Gaspe faunas are compared with those of the Coblenzian of northern Europe, the faunal connections are at once convincing and indicate that migration between these areas took place...
Página 197 - Cell walls thin, but frequently much thickened near the surface by silification, and sometimes granulose or spinose on the inner face. On some specimens the cells, at the surface, are nearly equal, having a diameter of about 1.5 mm.; on other specimens the diameter varies from .66 mm. to 1.5 mm. On many specimens some of the cell tubes are larger and less angular than those surrounding them, being a little more than 2 mm. in diameter.
Página 197 - Corallum consisting of large, lenticular, depressed convex or hemispherical masses ; base covered by a strongly wrinkled epitheca. Cell tubes polygonal ; their inner surface showing evidence of a few strong longitudinal striae. Septa frequent, from ten to fifteen in the space of 10 mm. ; thickness equal to that of the cell walls. Mural pores in one or two ranges, comparatively large, circular, with margins distinctly elevated. Cell walls thin, but frequently much thickened near the surface by silification,...
Página 227 - Ambulacra well defined, flat topped, extending around the entire periphery of the theca and touching the column. Ambulacrals large. Each ambulacrum in full-grown specimens has about 36 brachioles ; in a small specimen having a thecal length of 15 mm., there are but 24 brachioles. Brachioles usually not preserved. Ambulacral groove wide, roofed by a median double row of tiny angular ambulacralia arranged in short crescents, and outside of these by a single row of much larger, strongly elevated plates,...
Página 56 - Palaeontology, vol. vi. Corals and Bryozoa. Text and plates, containing descriptions and figures of species from the Lower Helderberg, Upper Helderberg, and Hamilton groups.

Ambulacra prominent, rounded, extending along three sides, bent around the excavated base of the theca, and touching the column. Each ambulacrum has on one side about 30 brachioles, or 60 to each ray, and about 180 on the entire theca. Brachioles apparently not very stout nor long, and composed of rather large pieces. Ambulacral grooves narrow, but...
