Felsproben des Mecres und Siisswassers aller Liiiider, iind die Poly- 

 cistinen-Morgels von Barbados '' (with i30 plates). Thus, nearly to 

 the close of his long life, which took place on the 27th June in the 

 year just closed, he showed no relaxation in his activity. 



From the year 1S30 Ehrcnberg was an Ordinary Professor in the 

 Faculty of Medicine, From 1842 he was Secretary of the Physico- 

 mathematical Class of the Academy of Sciences, of which he had 

 been a member since 1827. In 1839 king Fricdrich Wilhelra IIT. 

 conferred upon him the great gold medal for Art and Science ; and 

 at the same time the Crown Prince gave him a gold medal relating 

 speciaUy to Ehrenberg's discoveries ; the Civil Class of the order 

 " Pour ie merite " counted him as one of its members from the time 

 of its establishment by king Fricdrich Wilhclm IV. ; and foreign 

 honours were not wanting in recognition of his scientific merits. 



Quite in the evening of his life he was gratified by the receipt of 

 the large gold medal founded by the Dutch Academy of Sciences at 

 Amsterdam in honour of Leeuwcnhoek, the discoverer of the Infu- 

 soria, and conferred for the first time unanimously upon Ehrenberg.

To the Editors of the Anncds and Magazine of Natural History. 



Gentlemen. — In rearranging the corals in the Hunterian Museum 

 I recognized the nineteen specimens mentioned in the following 

 list as figured in Ellis and Solander's work. Doubtless more of the 

 Hunterian specimens are figured in that work ; but I have only given 

 those which have some characteristic feature admitting of certain 

 identification. Moreover Ellis selected for illustration parts only 

 of some of the bulkier specimens. The list, however, as it stands, 

 will not be without interest to those who desire that the location of 

 type specimens should be known. 



I am, Gentlemen, 



Yours obediently,
