Genus Gardineria Vaughan 



Bull. U.S. Nat. Mus. no. 59, p. 65 (1907). 



Duncania, Pourtales, Metn. Mus. Comp. Zool. Harvard, iv, 44 (1874). 



I have expressed the opinion that this genus should be absorbed into Haplophyllia 

 on somewhat slight grounds.^ Vaughan and Wells are considering the question of coral 

 genera, and, to avoid confusion, it is better that I should retain the genus at present. 



Gardineria antarctica Gardiner. 



Brit. Ant. (' Terra Nova') Exp. 1910, Zool. v, 124, I 11-18 (1929). 

 A single specimen, calice 17 x 15 mm. across, was obtained from St. 190, 90-130 m. ; 

 it is closest to Fig. 14 above, the columella-pillars being even more developed. In 

 comparison with G. capensis'^ only 12 septa fuse to form the columella, and the septa 

 do not rise above the rim of the calice. There are also two large dead specimens, some- 

 what decayed, from St. 152, 245 m. 



Gardineria lilliei Gardiner. 



Brit. Ant. {'Terra Nova') Exp. 1910, Zool. v, 125, I 3-10 (1929). 



St. 140, 122-136 m., I, 20 mm. high, broken calice with about 50 septa: St. 160, 



177 m., (a) 2, large, 32 mm. high by 16 mm. across mouth of cahce and 24 by 17 mm., 



(b) 2, about 13 and 10-5 across, (c) 12, smaller, averaging 24 by 9 mm., and (d) 20, still 



smaller forms: St. 181, 160-335 '^•' 2, 42 by 17 and 31 by 15 mm., one much curved: 



St. 190, 90-130 m., I, 52 by 20 mm. The series contains 40 specimens, which were 



mostly attached to pebbles. They are upstanding cones, some a little bent, generally 



almost circular in section.
