The Moray Fii’th, deep water. 
For this very distinct and remarkable little Coral I am 
indebted to Mr. James Macdonald, of Elgin, -who obtained 
it from Lo3.sieinoutli, in October, 1858, attacked to a valve 
of Cyprina, from the deepest part of the Moray Firth. 
There is no other species with which it can possibly be 
confounded, the expansions of the ribs presenting a ^•ery 
striking character. They remind me of the immense but- 
ti'csses which surround the base of the giant Ceiba of tlie 
.lamaican forests. To this feature I have alluded in the 
specific name, Avhich is formed from nrepov, a wing, and 
7rov<;, a foot. 
kly friends, Messrs. Macdonald and Gregor, speak of 
other Corals having at various times come under their 
notice, but they had always been set down, like these now 
recorded, as Carycpliyllia Smithii. It is by no means 
improbable that further research may considerably aug- 
ment the list of our liviim' Corals.
