€ast of Port Jackson from 250 fathoms. It is a common 

 form in South Australian waters, occurring at various depths 

 off the Neptunes, Cape Jaffa, and Beachport, down to 200 

 fathoms. 



Paracyathus viTTATus, Dennant (G), p. 156, pi. v., fig. 3. 



Only a single example of this coral has been obtained, 

 •dredged by Dr. Verco off Point Marsden, Kangaroo Island, 

 at a depth of 17 fathoms. 



Caryophyllia planilamellata, Dennant (G), p. 157, pi. vi., 



fig. 4. 

 This is an isolated coral, as it is the only example of a 

 ■Caryo'phyUia know'n to occur in the Australian region. It 

 is apparently plentiful in our south-eastern waters, as large 

 numbers were dredged in a living condition off Cape Jaffa 

 and Beachport, varying from 110 to 300 fathoms. 



DuNOCYATHUS PARASITICUS, Ten.-Woods (D), p. 305, pi. v., 

 fig. 4, (G), p. 159. 

 The first gathering of examples of this species was ob- 

 tained off Port Jackson from 45 fathoms. Dr. Verco ob- 

 tained large numbers in a dredging 35 miles south-west of 

 the Neptunes at a depth of 104 fathoms; also from off Cape 

 Jaffa and Beachport down to 200 fathoms. 



Ceratotrochus recidivus, Dennant (G), p. 159, pi. vi., 



figs. 1, 2. 

 This is an Australian Tertiary genus. The recent forms 

 were dredged by Dr. Verco in considerable numbers off Cape 

 Jaffa from 90 fathoms, and off the Neptunes, 104 fathoms.

 Edwards' and Haime's type specimen was obtained from 

 Port Lincoln. An example obtained from Gulf St. Vincent 

 by Professor Tate was sent to Tenison-Woods, who errone- 

 ously referred it to Gylicia, under a new specific name. Mr. 

 Dennant reported "eight well-grown examples" from Dr. 

 Verco's material. It is evidently of shallow- water habit, as 

 I have gathered beach specimens at Port Lincoln ; Emu Bay,
