BRITISH FOSSIL CORALS 
CorALS FROM THE Upper anp Lower Warrte Caatx.! 
MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime noticed and described nine species from these 
formations. One of these species had been previously described by Mantell and another 
by Reuss, so that seven species were added to our British fauna through the industry of 
the great French Zoophytologists. 
During the last few months I have thoroughly examined the specimens offered to 
me and those which had been studied by Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime, Lonsdale, and 
Mantell. I can add ten new species to the list of the Corals from the White Chalk, and 
five good varieties of formerly known species. It is necessary, also, to admit a species of 
Mr. Lonsdale’s, and to suppress one of MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime’s. 
Sectrion—APOROSA. 
Faminy—TURBINOLID. 
Division—CarYOPHYLLACEA. 
Genus—CaRYOPHYLLIA. 
MM. Milne-Edwards and Jules Haime adopted for a Coral from the Upper Chalk the 
name Cyathina levigata. 'They published this name in their “ Monog. des Turbinolides” 
(‘Ann. des Sciences Nat.,’ 3me série, vol. ix, p. 290, 1848), and in their ‘ Monograph of the 
Corals of the Upper Chalk’ (Pal. Soc., 1850). Lonsdale named the same coral M/onocarya 
centralis, Dixon (‘ Geol. of Sussex,’ 1850), and probably JJonocarya cultrata also. 
In 1850 D’Orbigny (‘Prodr. de Paléont.,’ t. ii, p. 275, 1850) gave the Coral the 
specific name cylindracea, it having become evident that Reuss was the primary disco- 
verer of the species in 1846. In his ‘ Kreideformation,’ p. 61, pl. xiv, figs. 23—30, 
Reuss gave the name Axthophyllum cylindraceum. The genus of the Coral is evidently 
Caryophyllia in the sense adopted by Charles Stokes in 1828.
