tions from the Scotland beds of Barbados (p. 103). Notes on the 

 occurrence of the corals are given preceding the first part and at the 

 beginning of the last part. 



The author is deeply indebted to Dr. Vaughan for his careful 

 guidance in the study of these collections and for his extending to 

 him the facilities of the Scripps Institution while working there. 

 To the authorities of the United States National Museum he is 

 indeed grateful for the full use of the splendid collections and the 

 library facilities, and for making the photographs used in the plates. 



Occurrence of the Ujjper Cretaceous and Eocene corals of Ja- 

 maica. — The specimens from the Upper Cretaceous come from beds 

 to which Trechmann has assigned a Campanian (Maastrichtian?) 

 age (the Catadupa beds of E.. T. Hill). One series of specimens, all 

 of Trochocyathus tnatleyi, new species, comes from near the top of 

 Blue Mountain Peak from beds that have been shown by Matley 

 (1929, p. 458) to be Upper Cretaceous. The two specimens from the 

 lower Eocene in the Trechmann collection are from the Richmond 

 formation, but these may be derived Cretaceous in origin, accord- 

 ing to a note by Dr. Trechmann on the labels. The specimens in the 

 Trechmann and Matley collections from the middle Eocene are from 

 the Yellow limestone (the Cambridge formation of R. T. Hill). The 

 stratigraphic relations of the Upper Cretaceous formations, the 

 Richmond formation, and the Yellow limestone have been discussed 

 by Trechmann in a series of recent papers (1922a, 1922b, 1923, 1924a, 

 1924b, 1929). 



The Upper Cretaceous formations of Jamaica are now known to 

 contain the following species and varieties of corals, including those 

 described as new herein: 



Paracijathus (?) sp. Trechmann, 1929.* 

 Trochocyathus matleyi, new species. 

 Dichococnia trcvhmanni, new species. 

 RhahdophylUa quaylei, new species. 

 Clndocora jamaicaensis Vaughan, 1899.* 

 DictuophyUia conferticostata (Vaushan, 1899). 

 Dictuophyllia conferticostata columnaris (Vaughan).* 

 Stiboriopsis jamaicaensis Vaughan, 1899.' 

 Trochoseris catadupensis Vaughan, 1899. 

 Centrastrca hilli, new species. 



Vaiighanoscris catadupensis, new genus and species. 

 Cj/athoscris haidingeri Duncan, 18G5 {non Reuss).** 

 Mcsomorpha catadupensis Vaughan, 1899.* 

 Favioseris anomalos, new genus and species. 



1 Not found in either the Trochinann or Matley collections and so not discussed in this 

 paper. 



2 A fragment from Duncan's specimen is in the National Museum. It does not show the 

 structure of CyathoHcris but appears to be one of the colonial Leptophylliids In the 

 Koighborhood of Sematcthtnos Gregory.
