Excerpt from Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H. M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76 Under the Command of Captain George S. Nares and Captain Frank Tourle Thomson, Vol. 2: Zoology AT the. Time when the Challenger Expedition set sail, very few investigations concerning the anatomy of the soft tissues of stony corals had been made for a considerable number of years. A large number of naturalists had failed to accept as conclusive the late Professor Agassiz's results as to the hydroid nature of the milleporide the stylas teride were universally considered to belong to the madreporaria, although Gray had formed them into a special family, and Pourtales and Verrill had recognised some of the remarkable peculiarities of these corals. The presence of tabulae in Heliopom had led to the association of that form with Millepora, and no one suspected that it was an Alcyonarian allied to Corallium, T abipom, and Alcyonium.
