all Hint concerns us in tlio present Report — are placed after the numbers 

 14, IT), 1(5, and -0 in bis cosmopolite list. It is useless to reproduce the 

 definitions of these genera as given b}' Goldfuss, for the very simple 

 reason that these names now used are much more restricted, and, com- 

 paratively speaking, have a different meaning. With regard to the use 

 of the generic name Ceriopora, I may say that authors differ in opinion 

 as to the necessity of its further retention. Generally speaking I agree 

 with those who de.sire the sujipression of the word ; still, there are some 

 forms given by Hagcnow, which will be referred to further on, that may 

 conveniently retain the name, but the genus Ci:uioroi;A, Goldfuss, embraces 

 many typical forms that have been handed over to at least five distinct 

 genera. The Cretaceous Rkti;i'Oi;.v of Goldfuss, and also the Cellepoha 

 and EscoAiiA, are also placed in hostile relationship, which will be more 

 apparent when I review the labours of Hagcnow. I cannot attempt any 

 suggestive arrangement of Goldfuss's genera and species, because by so 

 doing I should anticipate work that will be done further on. I merely 

 take the lists given by him as found in the Maestricht beds, and the 

 Cretaceous rocks of Kssen.
