S-ECTio^—MJDEEPOIiAIilA TABULATA. 

 Family— MILLEPORID A. 



Genus — Axopora. 

 AxopoRA FisHERi, Dimcctn. Plate X, figs. 20 — 22. 



The corallum is large ; it has an oval encrusting base, and a gibbous and tumid upper 

 surface and sides. 



The coenenchyma is coarsely reticulate even for an Axopora, and is very abundant. 



The calices are larger than usual in the genus, are very distinct, rather distant, and 

 are separated by irregular elevations of the coenenchyma. 



The columella is large, is very simple and prominent, and is rounded and rather 

 sharp. The tabute are very wide apart. 



Height of the corallum 1^ inch. 



Locality. Bracklesham. Collected by the Rev. Osmond Fisher, F.G.S. 



The coarse coenenchyma and the size of the calices, with the nature of the encrusting 

 base, distinguish this species from those already described. 



IX.— LIST OF BRITISH TERTIARY CORALS FROM THE CRAG, BROCKENHURST BEDS, AND 

 THE EOCENE OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT AND THE LONDON CLAY. 



I. — No new species have been discovered in the British Crag since the publication 

 of the Monograph of the British Fossil Corals by MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime. 

 Those noticed and described in that monograph are as follows : 



1. Sphenotrochus intermedius, Miinster, sp. 



2. Flabellum Woodi, Edwards and Hatme.^ 



3. Cryptangia Woodi, Edwards and Haime. 



4. Balanophyllia calyculus, Searles Wood. 



1 The Rpecies should be called Flabellum semilunatum, Wood, but doubtless Mr. Searles Wood will 

 be satisfied with the distinction MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime conferred on him.
