scutaria

Updated: May 28, 2025

Of corals, the variety was very great, as may be judged from the circumstance of our having collected twenty-four kinds within so short a space of time. Fungia is quite at home here; for, independently of F. agariciformis, scutaria, and limacina, a long kind was also found, having, like the two former, only one central cavity; they are found in shallow water among other corals.
