aThe preceding list of species from Lnysan is taken frnm Stiider's Madreporarier von Samoa, di-n .Sandwich Inseln 

 und Laysan, Zool. Jahrb., S.v.st., V, 1901, p. -126, except Funriia gcutaria, which is well represented in the collections nmde 

 by the "Albatross" in ISHU. I have somewhat mtidilled Profcs-sor Studer's nomenclature to bring it into accord with the 

 results of recent study, and have (|ueried the determinations of Leptaslrea sicltiildlii Verrill and Mnnliimm imlitla Verrill. 

 as I doulit the eorrectnes.s of each of them. Further limn that the corals occur in reefs, no datii regarding the physical 

 conditions under which they live is given.
