but without label. As most of his dredgings were made off the west coast of 
Florida, this may be considered the most probable locality. It was evidently 
dead when dredged, and possibly may be a fossil from some submarine bed ; to 
this, however, the perfect condition of the most delicate parts and the entire 
absence of foreign matter in the interseptal chambers seem to present objection. 
Parasmilia 90 120 08 ۲۸ 
(Celosmilia fecunda Pourt.) 
This somewhat puzzling form can well remain for the present in the genus 
Parasmilia, as Mr. Lindström proposes. Except for the buds, it resembles 
very closely some of the cretaceous forms, as Parasmilia centralis or serpentina. 
Professor Duncan and Mr. Studer have proposed new generic names for it, lu 
point of date Mr. Studer’s name, Anomocora, will precede Blastosmilia Dunc., 
if it is adopted.

Professor Duncan’s figures do not render the remarkable process of fissiparity 
of the terminal calicles of this coral, of which two stages are represented on Pl. I.

Corallum cylindrical, rising from an expanded base (perhaps connecting with 
other corallites). Epitheca thick, rising above the border of the calicle, hiding 
all trace of costae. Calicle circular, fossa deep. Septa rather thick, but little 
granulated ; three cycles and a few septa of the fourth. The primaries 
rounded, entire, but little exsert, somewhat wavy in the lower part; second. 
aries lower, having the internal border divided into three or four strong, blunt 
teeth, and having a stout paliform lobe slightly elevated above the columella, 
Tertiaries lobed like the secondaries. Columella well developed, formed of fifteen 
or more stout papilla, arranged in three rows, of which the middle one is best
