incequalibus, scepius 3 intermediis minoribus, parti plicatis et kviter 

 crenulatis ; fundo obsolete tuberculato, particulis saxeis instructo. 



Rather small, nearly cylindrical. Corallum decidedly striate without; 

 lamellae unequal, mostly with 3 smaller intermediate, sparingly 

 plicate and lightly crenulate; bottom obsoletely tuberculate, and 

 consisting of stony pieces.

From the drawing by W. J. Broderip, the species is nearly cylin- 

 drical, a little larger above, half an inch high, and but little exceed- 

 ing this in diameter. The lamellae are but a little exsert, with the 

 larger fourteen to twenty in number. Johnston states the size as 

 varying from two-tenths to half an inch in height, with a diameter of 

 from three-tenths to one inch. The animal has two or three crowded 

 rows of tentacles, and a prominent mouth when expanded. The colour 

 varies, being at times, according to Dr. Coldstream, either "white, 

 yellowish, orange-brown, reddish or fine apple-green, with the ten- 

 tacles usually paler."

The Caryophyllia cyathus, of Dr. Fleming (Wernerian Trans, ii. 249, and British 

 Animals, p. 509), is described as containing 40 to 50 larger lamelloe ; exterior striated ; 

 the bottom a prominent ridge " composed of curled plates on each side of a substance 

 similar to the plates of the gills." The specimen was from the island of Papa Stour, 

 Zetland. It requires farther examination. 



4. CYATHINA TURBINATA. (Dana.} 



C. pumila, (6-9'" alta], turbinata, infra valde attenuata. Corallum 

 subtiliter striatum ; papittis ferme 12, parvulis, tenuissimis et fra- 

 gilibus ; lamellis vix exsertis, 3-5 intermediis minoribus. 



Small, turbinate, below much attenuated. Corallum finely striate, 

 papillae about 12, small, very thin and fragile, lamella? scarcely 

 exsert, with 3 to 5 intermediate smaller.
