Extract

In the bilateral symmetry of the Rugose corals it is the general form of the polyparium, presenting a cone bent in the form of an oxen horn, that strikes at once the observer's eye and obliges him to seek for an explanation.

page 268 note 1 Gerth himself does not adduce photographs of such sections, while his schematic sketches (Palœontologie von Timor IX. Lief. Die Anthozoen der Dyas von Timor, s. 141, fig. 12) cannot prove the existence of the latter. If Gerth really possessed such sections, they possibly had been obtained from corals previously deformed in the rock.
