CORALS FROM THE INFERIOR OOLITE. 143 
Genus Comoszris. (See page 102.) 
Comoseris veRMicuLARIS. Tab. XIV, fig. 1. 
This fossil is found at Leckhampton, and is also met with in the Great Oolite. (See 
page 122.) 
Family CYATHOPHYLLID &, (p. Ixv.) 
Genus ZAPuRENTIS, (p. lxv.) 
Zarurentis? Wartoni. Tab. XXVII, figs. 8, 8a. 
It isnot without much uncertainty that we refer to the genus Zaphrentis the coral here 
alluded to, for its calice is so deeply imbedded in the surrounding stone, that we have not 
been able to study it in a satisfactory manner, but we think we have detected some indi- 
cation of a septal fossula (fig. 8a). It is of a conical, elongated form, slightly curved, very 
narrow at its basis, and surrounded with a thin epitheca presenting some circular wrinkles 
or dilatations. The calice is almost circular, with a thin margin and rather deep. There 
appears to be about forty septa; they are very narrow, thin, unequal in size alternately, 
and closely set. Height, one inch and a half. Diameter of the calice, about six lines. 
This interesting fossil belongs to Mr. Walton’s valuable collection, and is catalogued as 
having been found in the Inferior Oolite at Dundry; but we are inclined to think that 
there may be some mistake about its origin, and that, im reality, it may appertain to some 
strata of the Carboniferous Formation. 
Some other fossils, that we have not had an opportunity of seeing, and of which we are 
therefore unable to give a description here, have been mentioned by different authors as 
existing in the Inferior Oolite of England. Such are : 
1. CaryopHyLira convexa, Phillips, Geol. of Yorkshire, p. 155, tab. xi, fig. 1. Found in 
the Inferior Oolite at Coldmoor. his fossil is probably a 
young Montlivaltia. 
2. A Mganprina, Phillips, op. cit., p. 155. From the Inferior Oolite at Blue Wick. (No 
description of this fossil has been given.) 
3. A fossil coral found in the Inferior Oolite by MM. Conybeare and Phillips, (‘Outlines of 
the Geol. of England, p. 249,) and referred to the CycLorires ELLIptica of Lamarck. 
4, SrpeRasTREA CADoMENSIs, M‘Coy, Ann. of Nat. Hist., s, 2, vol. ii, p. 419. The fossil 
so named was found in the Inferior Oolite at Leckhampton, 
and considered by Prof. M‘Coy as identical with the Astrea 
cadomensis, described by M. Michelin (‘Icon.’ tab. 94, fig. 4), 
or Thamnastrea cadomensis, Milne Edwards and J. Haime, 
(Polyp. des Terr. Palzoz., &c., p. 111.) 
5. LITHODENDRON asTREATUM, M‘Coy, loc. cit., from Dundry. (No description given.)
