Mr. Walton has forwarded me Zeplirentis ? TFrtZ^ont, Ed. & H., from the 

 Inferior Oolite at Dundiy, which MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime felt 

 inclined to think was a remanie fossil. There is no doubt about the specimen 

 being a Ze^jhrentis, and it is clear that it was derived from an older rock, just as 

 the Carboniferous corals mixed up with the Lower-Lias corals were. 



I can add the following species to the list of Oolitic fossil corals, and most 

 of them have been figured, but are not yet published (in 6 plates of the Pal. 

 Soc.) : —

The Oolitic corals, as a whole, indicate the geographical conditions incident 



to reefs and atolls, and do not represent those bathymetrical states which the 



Upper and Middle Liassic coraUiferous strata appear to have illustrated. A 



deep-sea coral-fauna is not found amongst the relics of the Oolites, and the 



milia gregaria are not mentioned or considered as species, although they have a verv fair 

 claim. There are three varieties very Sympbyllian, and two very Heterogyran in their 

 aspect. There is a well-marked variety of Montlivaliia trochoides at Painswick in the 

 Inferior Oolite.
