 The writer presents some general 

 considerations on the species prob- 

 lem of corals, and the need of ex- 

 perimental investigation and more 

 elaborate studies of variation. Lists 

 are given of the families and genera 

 of Madreporaria, of the Hawaiian, 

 species, their geographic and bathy- 

 metric distribution, and distribution 

 according to temperature. In the 

 systematic discussion of the fauna 

 are described 79 new species, varie- 

 ties, forms, and subforms.
