preservation to influence his judgment in determining the relative 
age of any stratum he may study. 
The best collecting locality yet found in the Malumbang was 
discovered by Mr. E. W. McDaniel, who assisted the writer in 
making a good collection here. This locality is described as 
follows: 
Locality 1x, Philippine Islands, Luzon, Tayabas Province, 
Bondoc Peninsula, west side of Ragay Gulf, 2.75 kilometers 
northwest of Bureau of Lands bench mark No. 1, in coarse 
sandstone (coral and shell sand) dipping 12° south, strike north 
50° west. Collectors, E. W. McDaniel and Roy E. Dickerson. 
The following species have been identified from this locality. 
The species still living in these seas to-day are marked by L.

The high percentage of Recent species is noteworthy and is 
in accord with the writer’s general conclusions based upon a 
study of the Vigo fauna. 
The corals from the Malumbang formation have not received 
the careful attention which they deserve, and undoubtedly many 
important conclusions will be derived from this study. Students 
of the coral-reef problem may here obtain much material for 
study, as both Pleistocene and Recent coral reefs occur in this 
tropical Archipelago as well as in these older beds. 
Father Francisco de P. Sanchez, of Ateneo de Manila, recently 
loaned to the Bureau of Science his collection of fossil corals 
obtained from the coralline limestones near Mount Mirador 
Observatory, Baguio, Benguet, Mountain Province. From a
