Extract

The wide geographical distribution of the Milleporidæ is a clearer proof of the geological antiquity of the group than any evidence yielded by palæontology. For Millepora has no known Mesozoic or certain Lower Oainozoic representative, and is thus separated by a great gap from the Palsezoic Hydrocorallinas, whence it is probably descended. But the Stromatoporoids disappear at the end of the Palaeozoic, and I am not aware that any coral has been described which helps to connect that group and the Oainozoic Milleporids.
