This Species is very common in moft parts of Europe, and is faidto be found at the Cape of Good Hope; in Jamaica and other Weft-India Illands.

Frankfurt’s Museum of History

Image by oldandsolo
Frankfurt’s Museum of History traces the history of the city from prehistory to the modern times. Scale models show Frankfurt’s old town before and after the destruction of the war. The main modern building of the museum was completed in the 1970s and saw several protests even before it was completed, as with its modern lines, it was a total misfit to the Salhof palace surrounding it. This impressive statue of King Charlemagne greets you at the entrance. (Jan. 2008)

he collections from the Inferior Oolite are richer, and the Table-easerepresentatives of modern genera are increased by Fungians, ^•such as TJiamnastraea, and also by a doubtful species (Fig. 24 a)representing the confluent Astraeids, in which the polypsand calyces are incompletely separated as in the Brain-coral. In the rocks of Bathonian age are many corals ofsimilar type, the chief reef-builder being Calamop)]iyllaradiata. In the Corallian rocks true reefs are formed of Table-easeThecosmilia, Thamnastraea, and Isastraea, of which large 2-specimens are shown (Fig. 25). The structure of all these Wall-easeJurassic corals, as of the succeeding Cretaceous and Tertiary ^•genera, can be gathered from the diagrams placed in theTable-cases. An interesting series is that of Isastraea oUonga, 56 GUIDE TO THE FOSSIL INVEETEBRATE ANIMALS. Gallery X. from the Portlandian of Portland and Tisbury, showing howTable-ease the skeleton of the coral has been converted into chert invarying degrees.
