BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS 



In the Collections of the Geological Society, British Museum, Rev. P. B. Brodie, F.G.S., 

 R. Tomes, Esq., &c. 



This is the largest simple Coral of the British Fossil Coral-fauna, and is readily distin- 

 guished. Its variability of shape almost equals that of MontUvaltia rugosu, Wright. 



There are some fragmentary Corals in the Marlstone, but their genera are doubtful ; 

 and the cast of a MontUvaltia was found by Mr. Charles Moore at Wells, but I cannot de- 

 termine the species. 



The Corals from the Middle Lias are — 



1. LepidophyUia Hebridensis, Duncan. 



2. Montlivaltia Victoria;, ,, 



XXI. Total number of Species of Madreporaria which can be distinguished 

 IN THE Lias of the British Islands.
