very interesting specimens at station 6256, which is IJ miles south 

 of Miraflores. The following is a hst of the species: 



Species of corals from the Emperador limestone. 



Of 26 species from the Emperador Hmestone, 6 have been identified 

 in the Antigua formation and 9 in the AnguUla formation, but it 

 is probable that the number of species common to the Emperador 

 limestone and the Anguilla formation will be somewhat increased. 

 The Emperador limestone is of nearly the same horizon as the An- 

 guilla formation. Additional evidence favoring this opinion will be 

 adduced on subsequent pages. 



ANGUILLA FORMATION.* 



This name is proposed for the coraUiferous limestone and argilla- 

 oeous marls of Anguilla. The type-locality is on the south and west 

 sides of Crocus Bay, where it is exposed to a thickness of about 200 

 feet. The fauna has been monographicaUy described, and the account 

 of it will be published in a forthcommg volume of the Carnegie Institu- 

 tion of Washiagton. The following species of corals from it are 

 considered in the present paper:
