316 PROFESSOR P. M. DUNCAN ON THE 
/ CARYOPHYLLIA INSKIPI, Duncan. 
The corallum is short and curved. It has a small base, which is marked by a fracture 
of its attachment. 
The epitheca is dense, and covers the whole external surface; it is granular, and con- 
forms to the subequal coste, which extend downwards to the base without any marked 
diminution in their size. Superiorly the coste join the stout and barely exsert septa. 
The calice is subcircular, shallow externally, and deep over the columella. 
The septa are alternately large and small, are largest at the margin, and are granular. 
‘There are four cycles in most of the systems, and the higher orders are missing in the 
half of two systems. 
The columella is very small, and situated deeply. 
The pali are very tall, and rather thick, but small. 
Height of corallum 345 inch; breadth of calice 3’5 inch. 
The specimen from which this description is taken was dead, and came up in dredging 
No. 9, 539 fathoms, 2nd expedition. I have named it after Commander Inskip, one of 
the naval officers who contributed so much to the success of the deep-sea dredgings. 
’ CARYOPHYLLIA CALVERI, Duncan, 
The corallum is short, subturbinate and cylindrical. 
The costa are subequal, flat and granular from their epithecal covering. The primary 
and secondary cost reach highest. 
The calice is circular in outline, is shallow; and the primary and secondary septa are 
very exsert and arched. 
The columella is small, and is composed of two or three processes. 
The pali are curved, projecting and twisted; they are larger than the tertiary septa, 
before which they are placed. 
The septa are unequal, and are marked by radiating eminences, which depend upon 
curving of the lamin. 
There are six systems of septa; and there are four cycles in five, and three in the 
remaining cycle. F 
Height of corallum 33; inch; breadth of calice 7’5 inch. 
I have named this beautiful coral after Captain Calver, to whom the dredging- 
expeditions owe so much of their success. Dredged up from 292 fathoms (No. 24). 
CARYOPHYLLIA VERMIFORMIS, Duncan. (Plate XL. figs. 13-16.) 
The corallum has a broad expanded base, a cylindrical and curved stem, and a slightly 
elliptical shallow calice. 
The costz are distinct near the calice, where they are alternately large and small, flat 
and granular; and they are less distinct towards the base, where the granules are still 
apparent.
