The above is a fairly complete list of all the known forms of Goniopmrt. In the foregoing pages, however, evidence in abundance 

 has been given that it can only be regarded as an introduction to our knowledge of the genus. Many new forms may be expected from 

 deeper water. There are vast gaps in the geological record, not to mention the reefs from which we have no specimens at all. 

 Those which we have are isolated and fragmentary, that is, seldom in series, which alone offer any chance of discovering lines of variation 

 (see description of G. Red Sea 4)- But in addition to those which have not yet been discovered at all, it is certain that great numliers of 

 recent and fo.ssil forms must at the present moment be stored in the museums of Europe * with various " s])ecific " names attached, names 

 whose chief use has been protective — specimens dignified with a name receive more care than those which have none. These can all be 

 worked out now, and the results simply added to those here obtained. 



Again, it is hardly possible that I have seen all the stray notices or even records which are buried in the pages of palseontological 

 publications ; most of these would, however, be recovered if only the specimens in the museums were worked out. 



The following is a supplementary list of localities at which Poritids, many of them certainly members of this genus, have Ijeen noted. 



Supplementary List of Loc.a.lities. 

 Persia (see ji. 96). Islands of Lake Urmi ; in the limestone floor of the Great Cave of Maku ; at Malishkent (?). As rounded nodules. 

 Egypt (see p. 106). Branching forms occur in Lower Tertiary beds, on the southern slope of the Mokattam, at the entrance to the 



Wadi Dugla, and on the Western Island of the Birket-el-Qurun in the Fayiim. See also foot-note below. 

 Island of Rhodes (see p. 125). Encrusting. 



Italy (see p. 125). Bianchi near Messina — frequent; Sogliano al Rubicone (Prov. Forli). Encrusting. 

 Austro-Hungary (see p. 122). In the Leithakalk of St. Nicholai and Gamlitz, and at Gradische (Styria); Mattersdorf (Hungary); 



Potzleindorf, Grund, Enzesfeld, Niedcrlcis, Xodendorf and Kaladorf (Austria) ; Nicholsliurg and Kostel (Moravia) ; Rudelsdorf 



(Bohemia). All encrusting. 



In Leithakalk " des Rauchstallbrun Grabens liei BadiMi." 

 France (p. ITS). At the mouth of the Rhone. 



* A fine Lower Eoceue specimen of Litharssa (= Goniopora) showing the iiriinitive growtU-foini, from tlie Farafni Oasis, Egypt, has just been shown to ma by 

 Mr. R. Bullen Newton. It is the property of the Egyptian Geological Survey, and is e.>!pecially interesting because all the known Egyptian forms are either of the 

 primitive type or branching.
