New Corals from the Kansas Carboniferous.” 
BY J. W. BEEDE. 
Amplexus westii, n. sp. 
Corallum simple, sub-cylindrical or attennuate conical, curved 
or geniculated, longitudinal stria prominent, concentric lines of 
growth distinct, epitheca thin; septa extending one-half distance to 
center, eighteen to twenty-four or more in number; counterseptum 
somewhat longer than the others, which are about equal; indica- 
tions of secondary septa visible, but not more than % mm. in 
length as seen in transverse section. Tabule well developed, 1% 
to 3 mm. distant, reaching from wall to wall; on leaving the wall 
they are directed obliquely upward a short distance then slightly 
arching and undulating cross the center; occasionally branched at 
or near the bend. Length of specimen about 47 mm. diameter, in 
larger part, g mm.

Cladochonus bennetti n. sp. 
Corallum loosely fasciculate; corallites one to two or more diam- 
eters distant, erect coralites larger than basal branches, often five 
times as high as thick, upper portion budding and sending off 
branches as at base; epitheca strongly wrinkled, upper portion of 
wall of calyx thin, opening circular, deep, funnel-shaped by thick- 
ening of wall of corallite interiorly, in the lower portion of which is 
only a small capillary opening through the center. Average diam- 
eter of corallite 2 mm.; length, 6 to 18 mm. 
Thisspecimen resembles Romingeria ( Quenstedtia Rom. ) umbellifera 
Rom., but the absence of tabula removes it from that genus. It 
agrees with C/ladochonus McCoy (Pyrgia E. and H.) save that the 
corallites are only funnel-shaped when young. The corallites are 
long and very stout, resembling Syr7zgofora in outward appearance. 
So far as I am aware this is the first time the genus has been re- 
ported from the United States. Carboniferous, Lower Coal 
Measures, Fort Scott. Presented by Rev. John Bennett.
