 anatom}' of the soft parts of the Hawaiian Madreporaria, under the auspices of the 

 Carnegie Institution; but his results have not yet been published. 



Previous to the study here presented, about 3S species, including synonyms, had 

 been recorded from the area. If the forms whose occurrence in the area is doubtful 

 be included, the Hawaiian Madreporarian fauna is now known to contain Irili recog- 

 niziU)le forms, a number of which, however, are not considered of specific value.
