Pali large, strongly siuuous, strongly but bluntly denticulate, 

 12 in nuuiber and placed opposite the septa of the third cycle. 

 The coluraella consist of three or four broad curly ribbons. 

 Soft parts brownish-yellow : corallum snow- white with a thin 

 brownish epitheca. 



Greatest height of corallum 28 millira.

2. Caryophyllia scobinosa n. sp. 



This species also is related to C. communis Seg. and even more 

 nearly to C. pumila Seg. 



Corallum unattached (except when young), curved, hardly 

 compressed. 



The costas in the larger specimens are merely discontinuous 

 striations amid a field of close-set but discrete miliary grauules, 

 but in the smaller specimens angular costse corresponding with 

 the first two cycles of septa are very distinct, at least on the 

 convex curve of the corallum. 



Septa thin, 48 in number in six regular systems: those of the 

 first two cycles, which are equal, are conspicuously large and 

 exsert: those of the 4 th cycle are about the same size as, but are 

 a little more exsert than, those of the 3 rd : the surfaces of all 

 are denticulate, and the edges, within the calicular fossa, a little 

 sinuous. 



Pali strongly sinuous, bluntly denticulate, 12 in number and 

 placed opposite the septa of the third cycle. 



Columella of a few broad twisted ribbons, small. 



Soft parts brownish-yellow : corallum white, but much disco- 

 loured on the ontside below the calicular margin. 



Greatest height of corallum 20 millim.
