developed. A very young specimen has the tertiaries formed by a few spines 
projecting from the wall, the columella has fewer papillæ, and the pali are only 
beginning to form. Larger specimen 16 mm. high and 1 em. in diameter, 
It is referred to this genus with some doubt, but its systematic position is 
near it.

Cylicia inflata Pounr. spec. nov. 
Plate I. Figs. 10, 11. 
Corallum forming small, loose clusters, connected by a smooth expansion of 
the epitheca, which is considerably thickened, very smooth, but has no distinct 
border, The corallites are conical, slightly bulging below, having thus an in- 
flated appearance. Calicle small, circular, very deep. Columella papillose, 
well developed. Septa in three cycles and six systems. Primaries entire, sec- 
ondaries lobed below, the lowest lobes in form of stout pali, considerably raised 
above the columella, Tertiaries very small. Height, 3 mm.; diameter of 
calicle, 1 mm.

Balanophyllia palifera Pourr. spec. nov. 
Conical, attached, with thin pellicular epitheca ; coste of the usual form in 
the genus.  Caliele slightly elliptical. Septa in six complete systems, four 
cycles ; primaries thick and prominent. Tertiaries very small and thin. Pali 
stout and prominent, in front of the tertiaries and inside the junction of the 
septa of the fourth cycle with the former. Columella well developed and 
spongy. About 15 mm. high. A specimen dredged off Darbadoes in 100 
fathoms was figured in Ill. Cat. Mus. Zool. No. VIIT. Pl. VI. Fig. 20 under 
the name of B. floridana, which it resembles most. The pali are an anomaly 
in the family, thouzh the part representing them is mostly present, though not 
thickened or elevated.
