Von Marenzeller studied the type specimen of ForskaFs Madrepofd 

 savernosa in Copenhagen and says that Klunzinger's identification is 

 erroneous. Forskal's species groups with Favia saingnyi Milne 

 Edwards and Haime. 



Doctor Gravier collected four specimens. They show considerable 

 variation, particularly in the thickness of the septa and costfe, but a 

 detailed description seems superfluous. 



FAVIA SAVIGNYI (Milne Edwards and Haime).

figs. 84-89. 



This species is represented by a suite of fifteen specimens that show 

 a great amount of variation. Klunzinger and von Marenzeller, how- 

 ever, have described the variations of the species with such elaborate- 

 ness that I shall not describe this suite. Klunzinger's figures, plate III, 

 figs. 7, 8, represent the.se specimens very well; the calices of von 

 Marenzeller's specimens are larger, judging by his figures. The 

 Gravier specimens otherwise show the same range of variation, except 

 Klunzinger's variety latlcoUis is not represented.
