 P. cyclolitoides. 



Locality : Barrio Mesaba, near Danao, Cebu, No. 272. 



Formation : Miocene limestone.

Circular, with attached, spread out base; calix circular; 

 columella bundle shaped, consisting of little twisted rods; septa 

 wide and projecting; ribs simple; pale, wide, throughout most 

 of their length; free, Cretaceous, Tertiary, living. (Zittel.) 



Caryophyllia ( ?) laoagana sp. nov. Plate XVIII, figs. 2 and 3. 



Foss. Corals and Alcyonaria of Sind, PI. I, figs. 2 and 3. Pal. Indica, 1 . 



The specimen here shown more nearly resembles C. compressa 

 Duncan than anything I have been able to find in the literature. 

 It differs a good deal in shape, but this may be due to distortion 

 or partial mutilation of the specimen. 



The columella is not visible in the Philippine form so that 

 I cannot refer it to the genus Caryophyllia with certainty. It 

 seems to be decidedly more curved than the Indian form, and on 

 the basis of these differences I am giving it a specific name. 

 Length, 17 millimeters; width at widest part of the calyx, 14 

 millimeters. 



Locality: Cut in road near Laoag, Ilocos Norte, Luzon, No. 

 356. 



Formation : Pleistocene or Recent marl.

Sraight; compressed; free or fixed; columella rudimentary; 

 septa numerous, not projecting; wall with epitheca and covered

Flabellum australe Moseley ( ?) Plate XVIII, fig. 7. 



Challenger Reports, Zool. (1881), 2, 173, PI. VII, figs. 4, 5. 



The forms here shown resemble fairly closely in general ap- 

 pearance those figured in the Challenger Reports. However, 

 there are differences to be noted. The Philippine form shows a 

 smaller number of septa, and the 2 sharp end edges make a wider 

 angle with the base than in F. australe. These differences in my 

 opinion are not enough to warrant calling this more than a variety 

 of F. australe.
