Epistreptojyhyllum is a now genus having some characters of Astraeidae 



and some of Fungida). A new classification of the Poritid.'e is put forth 



in an analytical Table ; Thamnastrcea, &c. are transferred here, their 



structure being newly interpreted. The corals described above as 



TJuunnastrcea gibhosa^ Th. rohnste-septata, Th. heteroyenea are now 



removed to the genus Astrceomorplia. In the Poritinae two new genera 



are constituted — Haplarcea and Dlplarcea. The genus Dimorphoseris 



(Duncan) is ranged as synonym of Microsoletui. For the names of the 



14 new forms described, see Index of Species. E. B. T.

 Points out the close alliance between the recent Heliopora and the 

 extinct Heliolites^ and forms the family Helioporidae for the reception 

 of these two genera along with Polytremacis. Discusses the affinities 

 of the Favositidae and Chcetetes, and inclines to the belief that these 

 forms should be referred to the Aleyonaria. H. A. N.
