since the constriction of the corallum was quite noticable in the 



photographs. However, some of the Flabellum individuals found 



in the historical survey may have been F. macandrewi or 



F. angulave . Both of these species are also known to occur within 



the study area, the former has a bathymetric range of 180 to 



667 meters and the latter has a range of 2266 to 3186 meters 



(Cairns, manuscript). 



Javania aailleti 

 This species is a small pale-pink horn coral similar in form 

 to Desmophyllum aristagalli . However, its corallum is more 

 conically shaped and has a smooth outer wall. J. aailleti 

 attaches to hard substrates by a re-expansion of its pedicel into 

 a thin encrusting sheet (Cairns, 1979). Its reported depth 

 range is from 400 to 2165 meters (Cairns, manuscript) . One 

 specimen of J. calleti was recovered in a dredge taken in the 

 axis of Oceanographer Canyon between 935 and 1220 meters. 

 This is the only record of J. calleti from off the northeastern 

 United States.
