ANTHEMIPHYLLIA Pourr. gen. nov. 
Corallum free or pedicellate, with rudimentary epitheca, no columella ; 
septa thick and having the edge beset with transversely flattened processes. It 
is allied to Leptophyllia and Montlivaultia, but differs from them chiefly by the 
mode of division of the border of the septa, which in these generally consists in 
simple spines. 
Anthemiphyllia patera Pourr. spec. nov. 
Plate I. Figs. 14, 15. 
Short turbinate or saucer shaped, free, but showing former adherence to 
small fragment of shell. Epitheca very rudimentary. Costa distinct to the 
base, covered with small spines or sharp tubercles. Calicle circular, fossa shal- 
low. Six complete systems of septa, four cycles, Those of the first, second, 
and third cycle nearly equal, the fourth much smaller. The septa are broadest 
about the middle, becoming thinner towards the centre and circumference of the 
calicle. "Their border is thickly beset with spiny flattened processes, standing 
at right angles to the plane of the septum. Towards the centre the septa be- 
come indistinct and the processes smaller and denser, forming a false columella 
without definite limits. The interseptal spaces have a tendency to become 
filled up by the endotheca, particularly near the centre. 
The structure of the spines of the septa is very different from that of the or- 
dinary Lithophyllide, where they are sharp and flattened in the plane of the 
septum, 
Height of specimen, 5 mm.; diameter, 9 mm. Only one was obtained.

Montlivaultia poculum Pourr. spec. nov. 
Plate I. Figs. 21, 22. 
Conical, free; epitheca thin, cost; finely granular. Calicle very slightly 
elliptical, fossa deep. Septa alternately large and small, fifty-eight in number, 
the twenty-nine large ones equal and all reaching the centre, very little exsert 
and sparsely granulated, and showing no difference of cycles or distinct sys- 
tems. The small septa reach only half-way. The upper edge of the septa is 
entire. The larger ones gradually become lobed, until towards the centre of the 
calicle they send forth a number of blunt Jobes, filling the bottom of the fossa. 
No columella, The interseptal chambers are deep ; the dissepiments cannot be 
made out without a section, Height, 3 cm.; diameter of calicle, 22 mm. 
This coral was found among the specimens dredged by the late Dr. Stimpson,
