MADREPORARIA FUNGIDA. 



In a review of Me. J. Stanley Gardiner's Fungid Corals of the Maldive and Lacca- 

 dive Archipelagoes," I pulilishcd tlie following note on the fungids of the Hawaiian 

 Islands: 



I have just completed a study of the Hawaiian Fungida, and may be pardoned for comparing them 

 with those from the Indian Ocean. The following is a list of the species, with notes on their occur- 

 rence elsewliere: Fuivjki ( ('ycloseris) patella ( Ell. and Sol. ), east coast of Africa, etc. ; Fangki (Diaaeris) 

 fniijUis (Alcock), Indian Ocean; Funyia scutnna var. dtmtir/era Leiickart, Indian Ocean, etc.; [Fungin 

 Wm'/!."'.'! Doderlein; Fumjin paumolensU fiinii^hh. (rffic Quelch), Philippines, etc.; Funijia echinata (Pal- 

 las) (_/ide Studer) , Indian Ocean, etc.]; Bathyadis stfjiliand Alcock, Indian Ocean; SlcpJiumiria ilellaUi 

 Verrill, Panama; Stepltanaria n. sp. ; Paionn variani< Verrill, aff. 1'. ri'jieus Briifrgeniann; I'avona n. sp. ; 

 Lept(i«eris (1) n. sp., aff. //. frayUis M. Kd. and II.; Leptoseris (2) n. sp.; Leptoneris (3) n. sp., aff. 

 L. papyracea (Dana); LeplogeriK (4) n.'sp.; Pmmmocora, aff. P. superfictalis Gardiner. 



Further study of the material at my disposal has caused me to modify th(> 

 determination.s there given. The following is the revi-sed list of the species placed in 

 the Fungida, following the order in the article just ([uoted: 



_Fu7igia jxtti'lla (Ellis and Solander). 



Fungia frag'dis (Ah'ock). 



Fungia f!cutari<i Lamarck. 



Fungia oahetuis Doderlein. 



Fungia paumnt<>)isi--< Sttitchbury {fde Quelch). 



Fungia echinata (Pallas) (jide Stiider). 



Bathyactifi hauiaiieniiiit^ new specie.s.* 



Steplianai'ia steJIata Verrill. 



Stephanaria hrighami, new species. 



Pavona varians Verrill. 



Parona duerdeni, new species. 



Leptosenn kawaiiensis, new species. 



Leptoseris scah'a, new species.'' 



Leptosej'is diglfdfa, new species.'' 



Leptoserin tuhulifera, new species.'' 



Psam.mocora veiTilU, new species. 

 Of the 1(5 species recognized, there are two, cited on the authority <if other stu- 

 dents, whos(> occurrence in Hawaiian waters 1 consider doubtful. These 10 species are 

 distributed among 6 genera; but it should be stated that the generic separation of 

 Zepfosefix from Piwoiui is doubtful. These (! genera are considennl to i-epresent two 

 families: The Fungiidie, represented by Fungia; and the Ag-ariciithe, to which 

 Pavona, Leptoseris, Bathyactis, Stephanaria, and Psammocora are referred.
