List or THE CORALS or THE Coast or BRAZIL. 
The following list is made up from the observations of the author and 
from all the known lists and descriptions of Brazilian reef corals. Follow- 
ing the name of each locality are given in parentheses the names of the 
authorities or collectors. Two other species are mentioned as having been 
found at the Lagóa de Camamá by Spix and Martius, but it has not been 
possible to identify them. The list does not include the deep-sea corals 
dredged off the coast by the “ Challenger ” * and other expeditions. 
Most of the identifications have been made by Dr. Greeley, who was 
kindly assisted in doubtful cases by Dr. T. W. Vaughan. Professor 
Verrill’s paper on Brazilian corals, published in the Transactions of the 
Connecticut Academy of Science, ХТ., was not seen until after this re- 
port was in type. That paper contains several varieties not mentioned 
in this list. It has not been possible to revise the list since seeing the 
paper of Professor Verrill. 
Crass ANTHOZOA. 
1. Astrangia solitaria (?) Milne Edwards and Haime.? 
2. Phyllangia americana Milne Edwards and Haime. 
These two forms were found on the sandstone reefs north of Pernam- 
buco. The Astrangia was also found by Von Ihering at Bahia and at 
São Sebastião, State of São Paulo, and by Branner at Caravellas. 
3. Heliastraea (Orbicella) aperta Verrill. 
Trans. Conn. Acad., Vol. I., part 2, page 356. Maceio coral reef 
(Greeley). Itaparica (Rathbun). Abrolhos (Hartt). 
4. Heliastraea (Orbicella) acropora Linn, 
Bahia de Camamú (Spix and Martius). 
5. Heliastraea (Orbicella) cavernosa Milne Edwards and Haime. 
Lagóa de Camamú, Bahia (Spix and Martius). It was also dredged 
in 30 fathoms off Barra Grande, Brazil. This is a West Indies species 
of reef coral. The station at which it was found is at about west 
longitude 34° 49’, south latitude 9° 7’, near the edge of the 100 fathom 
line.®
