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 <3,—-2,; inch, of oval calices } inch.

This species belongs to the Phyllocenie with crowded cost, 
and is therefore closely 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 
costz, close and slightly exsert calices, and the flat form together 
distinguish this species from any of those already known. 
| 4. Phyllocenia 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 (Hocene), 
5. Astrocenia 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.

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 
costz, 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 offshoots of the 
rudimentary epitheca. Height of corallites 8 inches. Length 
of calice 8; inch ; breadth of the ecalice -5; inch,

There are three species of this genus described by Edwards 
and Haime—the recent D. echinulata of Singapore, the D. Mi- 
chelotit 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, differing 
from it, however, in the height and flattened form of the coral- 
lum, the slightly projecting and barely spinous costz, together
