CELLEPORA, Fab. Masses of small calcareous vesicles or cells, crowded one against the other, and each perforated by a little hole( 2 ). TuBULIPORA, Lam. Masses of little tubes, of which the aperture is as wide as the bottom, or wider(3). Bodies exist in the ocean that resemble the Corals (Polypiers) of which we have been speaking, both in substance and their general form, but in which Polypi have not yet been discovered. Their nature is consequently doubtful, and great naturalists, such as Pallas and others, have considered (1) Fluatrafoliacea, Gm.; Ell., Corall., XXIX, n, A;-Fl. tmncata, lu., XXVUT, a, A;-F/. bombicina, Sol. and Ell., IV, b, B;-Fl. carbasea, Id., III, 6, 7;-Fl. pilosa, Ell., Corall., XXXI, a, A, b;-F/. tomentoaa, Mi.ill., Zoo].
