18 BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS 



V. COEALS FROM THE UpPER GrEENSAND.^ 



The scanty Coral-fauna of the Upper Greensand was described by MM. Milne- 

 Edwards and Jules Haime ; and although some years have elapsed since the publication 

 of the first part of the 'British Fossil Corals/ Pal. Soc, and the beds have been well 

 searched, very few additions can be made to the list of the Aladreporaria. The following 

 is the list of the published species (1850) : 



1. Peplosmilia Austeni, Ed. and H. 



2. Trochosmilia fuberosa, „ 



3. Parastrcea stricta, „ 



4. Micrabacia coronula, Goldfuss, sp. 



In their ' Hist. Nat. des Corall.,' vol. ii, MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime make 

 some alterations in the synonyms of the genera, and add a species to the list. They 

 do not give any further information respecting some doubtful species noticed by Mr. 

 God win- Austen and Prof. Morris. Their amended list is as follows : 



1. Peplosmilia Ansteni, Ed. and H. 



2. Smiloirochus tulerosus, „ 



3. „ Austeni, „ 



4. Favia stricta, Ed. and H. 



5. Micrabacia coronula, Goldfuss, sp. 



Family— TURBINOLIDiE. 



Division — TurbinoliacEjE. 



Genus — Smilotrochus. 



Trochosmilia tuberosa, Ed. and H., has no endotheca, and therefore is of necessity 

 included amongst the TurbinoUdce. The genus SmilotrocJms was determined in order 

 to receive the species.
