BULLETIN OF THE 
Dendrophyllia profunda. 
(Diplohelia profunda Pourt.) 
Plate I. Figs. 6-8. 
A. well-preserved specimen shows that I had mistaken the genus in describ- 
ing this species. The family characters are indeed quite obscure, and only ap- 
parent in very young calicles, or at the bottom of the older ones. In the pres- 
ent specimen the calicles are much more prominent than in the one formerly 
described, The border of the calicle is vermiculated and porous to a very slight 
degree, easily overlooked, The septa are entire in the upper part, finely serrate 
in the lower. Its nearest ally is Cenopsammia scille Seg. I follow Professor 
Verrill in joining Cenopsammia to Dendrophyllia.

Plate I. Figs. 16, 17. 
Turbinate, fixed, covered by a thickened epitheca near base. Coste thick 
and flattened, with scattered pores, which are more abundant in the furrows. 
Wall thin. Calicle almost circular; septa in six complete systems, three cycles, 
nearly equal, extending down to the bottom where they join into a rudimen- 
tary columella. Towards the bottom the tertiaries approximate slightly towards 
the secondaries without actually coalescing. At the border of the calicle the 
septa are much thickened and vermiculated ; farther down they are thin and 
sparsely dentate, but appear to thicken with age. Height, 10 to 11 mm, Diam- 
eter of calicle, 7 to 8 mm.
