Distribtition. — Recent: Red Sea (Klunzinger). Pleistocene, fossil: 

 ? Jebel Zeit (Gregory, 1898) ; also Old Beach, Camp 7 ; Wadi Barud, 

 Eastern Egypt. No. J 1789. 



STYLOPHORA, Schweigger, 1819. 



1. Stylophora elongata (Lamarck), 1816. 



Poritcs elongata, Lamarck, 1816 : Hist. nat. Anim. sans Yert., vol. ii, p. 271. 

 Stylophora elongata, Klunzinger, 1879 : Korallenth. roth. Meer., pt. ii, p. 64, pi. vii, 

 fig. 14 ; pi. viii, fig. 19. 



Six fragments and a slide cut from one of them (No. J 2153), 

 collected by Mr. Barron on the coastal plain between Ras Jemsa 

 and Jebel Zeit, agree in all characters with this species, which is 

 clearly very closely allied to S. pistillata (Esper), the common Red 

 Sea form. 



Eight worn fragments, J 2186, from the raised beach, east of 

 Jebel Esh, belong to the same species. 



2. Stylophora cf. palmata (Blainville), 1830. 

 Sideropora palmata, Blainville, 1830: Diet. Sci. nat., vol. ix, p. 360. 

 Stylophora 2)almata, Edwards & Haime, 1850 : Ann. Sci. nat., ser. iii, vol. xiii, p. 103. 



Distribution. — Recent : Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Fossil, 

 Pleistocene : 380 feet above sea-level, near Camp 8 in Wadi Shigeli. 



There are two limestone specimens, which bear surface casts of 

 a Stylopliora, which are probably S. palmata, but they are not 

 sufficiently well preserved for certain identification. They were 

 collected by Mr. Barron, 380 feet above the sea, near Camp 7 in 

 Wadi Abu Shigeli. J 1667.
