 The diameter of the calicle of the parent and of full-grown buds is about 3.5 millim. 



I place this species in Martin Duncan's genus Pourtalosinilia, without however being 

 able to appreciate the difference between this genus and the Triassic and Jurassic genus Goniocora. 

 In external form this species much resembles the Caryophyllia arbuscnla figured by Dana on 

 plate 27 of his "Zoophytes." 



MADREPORARIA FUNGIDA. 



IV. Family Lophoserid.e Martin Duncan. 



Only two genera of this family are represented in the collection. 



XXIV. Bathyactis Moseley. 



Batliyactis Moseley. Challenger Deep Sea Madreporaria, p. 185. 



The collection contains four species, one of which is doubtfully referred to this o-enus, 

 since it has a crown of large and very distinct pali opposite the septa of the second order.
