Corallum elongate-goblet-shaped, attached by a short, curved, cylindrical pedicle. Thecal 

 wall thin, granular. The costae are granular ridges only reaching halfway down the thecal wall ; 

 those of the first two cycles are the most distinct, and even they are not very prominent. 



Calicular orifice nearly horizontal ; calicular fossa very deep. 



The septa, which are only very slightly exsert, have a distantly-granular surface and 

 a sinuous edo-e. They are 60 in number and their arrangement is decidedly irregular, appearing 

 to be in six systems of fonr cycles with two extra half-systems intercalated. Those of the first 

 two cycles are much the largest and the most exsert, while those of the other cycles diminish 

 in size in serial succession. 



Columella ver)- deep-seated and very sharply delimited from the septa, consisting of two 

 or more curling ribbons. 



The appearance of this coral is exactly that of a Caryophyllia devoid of pali, or of a 

 Desmophyllum with a Caryophylliaceous columella.

Cyathoceras Tydemani is closely related to C. cornu Moseley, which was dredged by 

 the Challeneer off the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and off the South-East corner of Australia.
