the latter being often rudimentary. There are six systems and 

 three cycles, but many of the oval and irregular calices have 

 some orders of the fourth cycle in some systems. There is 

 either no columella or simply the rudiments of one. Diameter 

 of the calices ■^— nr i^^ch, of oval calices ^ inch.

This species belongs to the PhylloccunicB with crowded co&tse, 

 and is therefore clbsely allied to P. compressa and P. sculpta. 

 Its crowded calices distinguish it from the last species, and the 

 slightly exsert calices distinguish it from the first. The crowded 

 costse, close and slightly exsert calices, and the flat form together 

 distinguish this species from any of those already known. 



4. Phylloccsnia Lucasana, Edwards & Haime. 

 A specimen of this Coral is in the Coll. Geol. Soc. Locality, 

 Sinde Tertiaries. 



The species is found in Europe at Castel Gomberto (Eocene). 



5. Asiroccenia Caillaudi, var., Edwards & Haime. 



A magnificent specimen of this species is in the British 

 Museum. It simply differs from the type in its large calices 

 and general luxuriance of growth. 



Locality, Sinde Tertiaries. Europe, at La Palarea and 

 Coustonge.

The corallites are long, slender, close, slightly compressed 

 and more or less flattened here and there. The " frills" can be 

 traced inferiorly. The calices are compressed, rather deep, and 

 present a central and well -developed columella. The septa are 

 long, delicate, and numerous; there are four cycles, and the 

 third order of septa joins the second close to the columella. The 

 eosta3, although much worn in the specimen, are subequal; and 

 many are rudely spined, especially near the calices and exter- 

 nally. There are numerous lateral buds, and the corallites ap- 

 pear to be joined by extraneous matter and by off'shoots of the 

 rudimentary epitheca. Height of corallites 8 inches. Length 

 of calice -j^ inch ; breadth of the calice -j^ inch.

There are three species of this genus described by Edwards 

 and Haime — the recent D. echinulata of Singapore, the D. Mu 

 chelotii of the Bormida Miocene, and the D. Taurinensis {Lobo- 

 phyllia contorta, Michelin) of the Turin Miocene. 



The new species is closely allied to D. echinulata, diff*ering 

 from it, however, in the height and flattened form of the coral- 

 lum, the slightly projecting and barely spinous costse, together
