their regularity by the inner ends of the sepia, confined to a central zone 

 varying in breadth from about one-fourth to one third of the entire dia- 

 meter of the corallum. Vesicles filling the septal interspaces outside the 

 tabulate zone, small, strongly curved with their convex sides upward, 

 resting on each other and against the sides of the septa, their general 

 direction being upward and outward at right angles to that of the arched 

 carina? of which they are independent in their disposition. 



Locality. — Abundant in the Corniferous and Hamilton formations of 

 Ontario.

Dr. Rominger succinctly describes this species in his remarks on 

 Cyathophyllum juvene as follows — " A very constant form found in asso- 

 ciation with the preceding species {Heliophyllum Haiti), resembling it in 

 all particulars, but in all proportions smaller. The arched carinas are 

 closely approximated, twenty-four on the space of a centimeter. Number 

 of lamella? from sixty to seventy in the circumference of calyces two and 

 one quarter centimeters wide, which is about the largest size observed." 



Locality. — Found in the Hamilton formation in Ontario. 



Dr. Rominger records its occurrence also in the Upper Helderberg 

 strata of New York, Ohio and Kentucky.
