Figs. A, B. Two views of the reef on the west side of Loggerhead Key, Tor- 

 tugas, as exposed at an unusually low tide on June 6, 1910. The 

 massive, head-like corals are Orbicella annularis (Ellis and 

 Solander) ; the whip-like objects are the gorgonian Plexaura sp. ; 

 the reticulated, fan-shaped corals are Gorgonia flabcllum Linnaeus. 

 C. A view undersea of the reef at Carysfort Lighthouse, from a picture 

 card. It shows Orbicella annularis heads and many waving 

 gorgonians.
